Amos: 8: MOTM - misjudged one cross and gave the ball away with one daft, short goal kick but made a series of fine saves Gunter: 4 - struggled and gave away a needless penalty. In terms of the bigger picture, he came late in as a free agent, has played continuously and clearly needs a break Famewo: 7 - very impressive. Class allied to good physicality Pearce: 7 - very solid and his organisational skills and leadership are important Maatsen: 7 - a good performance, particularly going forward in the first half, when he was our only threat Watson: 6.5 - the pick of a poor midfield, the blend of which was too one-paced and narrow Forster-Caskey: 4 - slow and unimaginative, Some poor set-plays Pratley: 5 - battled hard as usual but contributed nothing offensively. Even allowing for injuries, he and Watson certainly were not needed against a team who hadn't won in nine games Gilbey: 4.5 - disappeared from the game and he is surely being played out of position out wide, rather than centrally. He's been out for a couple of months and we badly need him to fulfil some of the promise he showed in his first few games Aneke: 5 - looked sluggish at the start and was outnumbered and well policed by their big central defenders. The crap service obviously didn't help Washington: 4 - one really good piece of play just before half time but otherwise totally ineffectual. His movement can sometimes be good but I'm afraid he is a very limited player Morgan: 5 - one nice through ball to Bogle but unable to influence the game. An unfortunate shank at the end - by which time there was mass panic in the ranks - but we should still have been able to deal with the situation Referee: 7 - got all the significant decisions right
I don't think I've ever disagreed with Blucher. He calls it exactly as I see it. (sorry Blucher :-)
Amos: 6.5 Gunter: 4 - couple of ropey games lately Famewo: 6 Good to see him back. Largely fine but partly at fault for their goal for letting the ball bounce. Pearce: 6 Standard Pearce Maatsen: 6 - Passing was pretty crap Watson: 6 Forster-Caskey: 4 - I've never really got him. I still don't. Pratley: 6 Gilbey: 5 Still very rusty but occasional flashes Aneke: 5 Washington: 5 Runs around a lot. Not sure that's enough these days. Morgan: 4 Concentrate on the basics and don't believe our hype. So much potential but got to get the basics soted first. Referee: 5 - Too bloody picky
Williams: n/a - Can't imagine this will do much for his confidence Bogle: n/a - Jury still out for me. Matthews: n/a Where's the Matthews we had before?
Too predictable. Not enough pace. Too many players whose first instinct is to pass backwards.
Amos: 8.5 Excellent goalkeeping with the exception of the crap short pass to Pearce Gunter: 4.0 Gone to pot at the moment, poor tackle for the pen Famewo: 6.0 Good to have him back even on the wrong side. Good defending but some poor balls out of defence. Pearce: 7.0 Good to have him back on the correct left side. Solid defending throughout Maatsen: 6.5 Solid game until the last 5 minutes where his clearances were lumped anywhere Watson: 7.0 Done his job in front of the defence and got our goal. Forster-Caskey: 4.0 Didn't make any impact on the game - didn't look interested Pratley: 4.5 Seems to be off the pace of the game at the moment Gilbey: 4.0 Didn't make any impact on the game - didn't look interested Aneke: 5.0 Struggles when he starts a game, won a few headers but never went to CAFC players Washington: 5.5 Works hard across the pitch but failed to make any real impact Morgan: 5.5 Tried to make an impact but not his day. His yellow card could have been a red. Referee: 7.0 One of the better league 1 refs
