Taylor - 5 - wasn't too impressed, he send a few goal kicks out yet again, doesn't seem to catch the ball properly, perhaps a lack of confidence? and should have done better with their shot that hit the post.
Maybury - 7 - solid, got forward well and was always willing to go in for any ball.
Dabizas - 6 - I'm like a broken record, I know, but Dabizas, stop fouling people!!! Otherwise I think he actually did some good things, made a few important challenges and dragged players away from scoring opportunities.
Heath - 6 - has obviously been practicing passing to feet, in fact I saw him being coached individually about it before the match and largely he did manage it. Otherwise he won a lot more headers than usual but also let players slip past him a bit.
Stewart - 7 - had a brilliant first half apart from corners, fought off a lot of players and actually got past people. Second half he was still defensively sound but seemed to like passing to Nalis rather than crossing himself. Nice shot :roll:
Gillespie - 7 - Good game, blocked a shot very bravely in the second half and worked well with Maybury. Wish he wouldn't cut infield so much though rather than running to the corner with the ball, also what was he doing when Jordan gave him the ball in the second half, he was in the box with no players around him and he dawdled until he was surrounded. Silly boy.
Gudjonsson - 7 - I thought he had a great game, comparatively, though some will disagree I'm sure, he held the ball up much better than usual and ran about a lot threatening their players, most of his passing was excellent also, sadly when he did put in a bad pass, it was really bad.
Nalis - 5 - anonymous for most of the game, had a good shot at one point and won some headers but otherwise what did he do?
Tiatto - 7 - we've really missed him, put in a few sloppy passes but otherwise was dangerous all the time.
Connolly - 7 - good goal and movement that lead up to it, otherwise made himself available all game and helped out on the wing a bit.
Scowcroft - 4 - poor, no direction on his headers and otherwise did nothing.
Subs:
De Vries - 6 - good movement
Dublin - 6 - average, had one good go at goal.
Oo, hope this is in time...
