Not done this for a while so here goes ....
Norris 6 Good distribution as always, but he looked a bag of nerves in the second half and was lucky with two or three mistakes.
Rafferty 8 He was our main source of attacks in the first haf and solid at the back when needed
Poole 9 He is class, scored a good goal, made several vital tackles in the middle of the pitch, and solid as ever when defending at the back. Deservedly MOTM.
Shaughnessy 7 Won everything in the air and he and Poole look so very comfortable together.
Sparkes 6 Bad error for their goal and that unsettled him for half an hour or so. Looked unsure of his positioning at full back, in fact looked like a wing-back playing out of position in a back four when he should be the other way round. Good cross for the second goal, and played much better in the second half.
Pack 8 He and Morrell ran the show in the middle of the park
Morrell 7 He and Pack ran the show in the middle of the park
Lane 8 Great first half, good goal and looked dangerous every time he had the ball in the final third.
Robertson 7 Some sublime touches and movement, but gave it away a couple of times.
Kamara 7 Posed a great threat in the first half, bud faded a bit in the second
Bishop 7 Battled away as ever and led the line well but never got a sniff of a chance
Subs
Anjorin 8 A couple of very nice touches and one superb tackle and turn. First sign of what he might be all about.
Whyte 5 Looks totally devoid of confidence
Devlin 7 Worked his bollocks off for the short period he had on the pitch and helped us see the game out.
Raggett & Towler only on in injury time but both saw quite a bit of action.
Mousinho 7 Set the team up right for the start, not sure the first subsitutions improved anything.
Overall a good win against a decent side, but second half was a bit flat when we should have been trying put the game to bed. Lucky they missed the sitter at the very end. One of those games where the result matters so much more than the slightly unconvincing performance.
