My opinions on the players today against Orient:
Norris: 7 - didn't do a lot wrong and look composed when needed.
Sparkes: 6 - put a lot of decent balls in first half and combined well with Lane but nobody got on the end of them. Second half very quiet.
Shaunessy: 6.5 - any back line which concedes 3 in one half can't be that great! Looked solid second half when the game had gone.
Raggett: 5 - looked way off it and his head has dropped. Balls out didn't work. Poor.
Rafferty: 6 Huffed and puffed alright without achieving much. Not easy with a day-dreaming Kamara in front on him.
Pack: 6 - played okay first half and some passes were good in the second but he also lost the ball more as time went on. He's not the problem with this team.
Morrell: 6 - he was okay. Did his best and didn't do a whole lot wrong. Kept his nose clean.
Lane: 6 - first half played well combing with Sparkes. They were our only outlet. Second half his passing went off the boil and he drifted out of the game.
Saydee: 5 - huffed about but he's just not very good. Not good enough to start for a team looking to get promotion. Doesn't contribute anywhere near enough.
Kamara: 3 - gone back to how he was 2-3 months ago. Very poor. Like playing with 10 men. He's young and needs some time out of the team but there is no cover.
Bishop: 4 - this bloke gave it the biggun a few weeks back and quite frankly looks a bit of a tit now. Missed a penalty (it happens) but glanced a header wide yet again. How many sitters has he missed over the past 2-3 months? The system with him up front on his own is not working as he gets outmuscled and outnumbered. Endeavour is there but he's not taking the limited chances he does get.
Subs:
Devlin: 6 - looked okay without being spectacular. We were marginally better second half.
Lowery: 6 - did look lively and good to see him getting minutes. We need him. Didn't ultimately change anything.
Martin: 6 - again ran about and won a few fouls but ultimately is he good enough?
Mousinho: 4. I like the guy but persisting with Bishop up front yet again is very frustrating. Teams have sussed his tactics and he now needs to have a rethink. Hopefully he is backed.
Ref: 7.5. The best ref for some time. Pedantic at times but got most decisions correct and even corrected a linesman's decision once which was ballsy - and correct. Be nice if one ref picked up on the fouling of Bishop!
Terrible day at the office overall.
