Rawlinson 6, steady enough.
McCrory 7, thought he did pretty well, tried to use the ball and defended stoutly enough.
Graham 5, not chronic but from the other end of the ground seemed partly responsible for their second.
Turner, 8, MOTM. Solid and great in the air, a real asset to the team.
Enzio 5.5 He never challenged for the ball, left it for others to make amends and the mess of the second goal started with that lack of spirit to win his battle. He did set up Thomas and has worried every defence he's played against so far.
Rose, 5.5, didn't create anything in midfield, ok at RB second half.
Doyle 5.5, at times you could see he's played at a higher level, finding a bit of space and spreading the play but no real dynamism and a step back from his Wrexham performance.
Booty, 6.5, not his best game but he is lively, gets up and down and passes the ball and not just safe sideways ones.
Dennis 6, worked very hard in the blazing heat, ran everything down and had to feed off scraps.
Thomas 5.5. Had a golden opportunity to put us 3-1 up. Needs to start putting them away or there's little point in having him on the pitch. He's a moaner, constantly complaining at Enzio for not putting it where and when he wants it which is fine if you do the business. Otherwise it's just annoying and when Enzio played him in beautifully he fluffed it.
Subs
O'Brien, 5.5 No lack of effort but everything was forced and scored an O.G.
Tyson 5.5 No better or worse than Dennis or Thomas, just a bit meh.
Ardley, 6. Sent out a team that was good enough to take the lead twice, that in glimpses is quite slick but we are still conceding sloppy goals, midfield isn't dominating and without either a target man to hold it up or we suddenly become Championship standard passers of the ball to feet into the forwards will only attack sporadically and it will keep coming back.
A frustrating day, Ebbsfleet worked hard and deserved the draw but there's enough in that Notts team to beat them if we play to our potential.
Think confidence is part of it, winning is a habit and we have the dreadful habit of going into our shell when in front for whatever reason.
Ridiculously early but it feels like the season is on the cusp, win on Monday and it looks like we're getting a run together, lose and more pressure mounts on the manager.
