Tuesday was a tough day, with some difficult discussions rounded off by a trip to the theatre of disappointments.
So straight to the team and game review.
As a game it was deeply frustrating, the plus points are having gone behind twice, we came back twice and then held on, something we would not have done in any of the last few seasons. The negative point was we went behind twice, and the quality of the game we played when behind was very impressive, so why couldn’t we play like that from the get go.
So player ratings:
Martin – 6 - Flapped at the first goal, but otherwise not really stretched. Seems to have an overwhelming desire to play the ball to Hobbs, everytime.
Gilbert – 6 – Not his best game, poor distribution, and out of position for one of the goals.
Kisnorbo – (Sub 66 mins) – 7 – Welcome back Skip, he brought a reassurance to the back line that we have needed.
Tunchev – 7 – Looked good with Hobbs beside him, and very good with Skip. He also scored a great header for the 2nd goal.
Hobbs – 4 & 6 – As a centre back he was shocking again, his heading was poor, and his distribution was rubbish. Then like a light bulb being switched on, he was moved to left back and looked like a half decent play.
Powell – 5 – Average game, ok as a left back, but no push going forward
Mattock – (Sub 61 mins) – 7 – Welcome back Joe, he may not be the best at the back, but going forward he is great. Overlapping with Dyer the left flank looks very dangerous
Gradel – 7 – It must be a frustrating life for young Max, he stands in loads of space, he takes on anyone, and he never gets passed to.
Oakley – 6 – Another average game for the skipper, he chases the ball well, but needs to get his passing game sorted
King – 5 – Where is he, he is on the team sheet, and he occasionally has a shoot, but for the remaining 88 minutes, were, oh were
Dyer – 7 – Looks good going forward, but not his best game
Berner – 82 – First look at the young Swiss, who is less cuckoo and more flying falcon
Fryatt – 4 - Rubbish
Howard – 4 – Missed two goals that even PASH could have scored.
Lets hope we can bounce back on Saturday.
Wednesday
Finally I managed to get the emails down to 15 and am almost on top of the general workload. Having said that I need to, as I have 1 day with 7 1 hour 121’s, and then a management meeting on Friday. Bring it on!
