    Match Ratings v the Cobblers

    Not a game for the thrill-seekers, but a hard-fought point gets us off the bottom of the FL....phew

    Fitz - 5.5....The Fitz-bashers will need to find a different object of derision this week. Two cracking saves, one from the onrushing forward who smashed it hard to Fitz's left...and the other low down to his right on the goal-line from a header.....a superb punch from pressure at a corner added to the best performance from Fitz in a long while.

    Tootle - 4......Still not the same player from last season. Looks slow and indecisive by his normal standards....is he fully fit?

    Turley - 5......the Hulk did what it says on the tin "head it, kick it"...and if it is still moving "kick it again"

    Ward - 5.5.....I'm starting to like this guy....another no-nonsense defender with slightly more "culture" than the Hulk

    Evita - 5.....Not really a lot to do in defense but, like Jones, likes to attack down the wing with some lovely overlaps

    Milsom - 5.5.....Looks solid in midfield....not too flashy, a lot of sideways passing....could be a great help in getting us some wins if he'd push further forward with the ball though....clearly he's been told to not take any risks.

    Husin - 5.....Another player that I'm starting to like....plenty of energy, always looking for the ball but like Milsom, there's no real cutting forward pass to set up Stead or Hemmings.....I'm still not sure that this is the "dead-ball specialist" that we need either......nobody else seems to want to take them though.

    Aless - 6 in the first half (bags of running) but disappeared down a rabbit hole for most of the 2nd......5 points over the 90 minutes

    Enzio - 4.5 ....IMO his worst game for Notts. Cannot remember him beating his man down the wing, just the one shot from distance in the 2nd....continued with his defensive duties well but I cannot help feeling that if he is not "on his game", we struggle up front.

    Stead - 5......Steady Stead....drew loads of fouls for Notts, tried to feed Hemmings into space but to no real effect.

    Hemmings - 5.5....terrific workrate and a glorious run and shot that the keeper touched onto the bar....needs more proper through-balls to chase rather than hopeful punts IMO

    Subs

    Hewitt - 4.....Way off the pace, two reckless challenges and kicking away the Cobblers free-kick got him a booking...not good.

    Summary - I guess it's another point towards the 50, but it's a game that will not live long in my memory.....how far have we fallen when we were bookies favs pre-season, now we're getting a semi lob-on over a clean sheet and a point at Sixfields...strange.

    Fitz deserves a 7 today imo. Kept us in it - could see the passion in him at the final whistle when he came over to the Notts fans. It's clear he's feeling the pressure but did really well today.

    Yeah fair play by the sounds of it to Fitz, deserves praise on today's performance.

    Can’t argue with that.

    Tarquin’s ratings are confusing. Says Fitzsimons has his best game for a while but only gives him a 5.5?

    I hope he’s more appreciative of his goats.

    I'd be interested to know that as well. If Fitz made some cracking saves, kept a clean sheet and produced his best performance in a long while, why does he only rate as 5.5?

    They don't make sense...

    Can a goalkeeper that keeps a clean sheet score 5.5 out of 10? What does he have to do to get 10 out of 10?

    I wasn't at the game, but I'd like to know what he did wrong to lose 4.5 marks. I'm not a fan of Fitz, but he appears to be the best we've got so a clean sheet is just what he needed. Maybe he looked dodgy in other parts of his game?

    Agreed. Tarkers ratings are a bit on the mean side.
