Player ratings v Mansfield

[the_anticlough]

I'll kick this one off

Stone 6 - Did OK, a few good saves but doesn't seem to inspire confidence or drive us on
Warner 5 - Disappointing debut. Macari remains our best performer this season at RCB
Baldwin 8 - MoM, he's been putting in games like this on a weekly basis, well into his groove now
Cameron 6 - Mixed bag. OK but did nothing beyond the ordinary for us
Nemane 4 - Worst game this year? Whoever thought about switching him to the left should take the blame for this
Bostock 6 - Got on the ball, but nowhere close to his dominant best
Robertson 7 - His game-on-game improvement is really promising. From 20mins on we saw the positive version of the player too
Jones 6 - One of those wasteful days, but like AN whoever came up with the switch wingers idea can take the blame today!
Crowley 6 - Not the Crowley we saw in Sept/Oct
McGoldrick 6 - Involved a lot, but as many mess-ups as pieces of magic.
Langstaff 4 - This is why clubs won't want to pay 7 figures for him. He's a great pro so needs to get to work on his all-round game.

Our wingers had been flying the last few games, so many goals and assists for them. Switching was like losing two players and replacing them with two sub-standard newcomers. I hope the idea wasn't SM's. We need clever tactical moves but if it's not broken, there's nothing to fix in the first place.

Wasn't there today so couldn't rate other than what I heard on the radio, but could we please have the old mcGoldrick and Langstaff back and do away with these recent imposters

I think the Stone Score is a bit generous

On reflection I reckon 6 for Stone and 7 for Baldwin.

I thought Robertson had his best game yet, he could be a very decent signing.

Shaky start but grew into the game, could be a decent player in there.

Stone 6. Some expected saves, but kicking was off. Again.
Cameron 6. Not captain material at all. Weak link imo.
Baldwin. 7.5. Some great tackles and awareness, but still making mistakes. Without him though would have been major loss.
Warner. 5. Horrible game to have your debut in. Pitch didn’t suit him and he looked harried a fair bit.
Nemane. 5. Pointless switch to the left. Didn’t help with him or JJ.
Jones. 6. Can’t cross from the right, but his on ball running saved him a little.
Robertson 7. Grew into the game. More confident today.
Bostock. 4. Did he even bother turning up? Waste of a shirt today.
McGoldrick. 6. A few nice tricks, but mostly led to giving the ball away and turn overs.
Langstaff. 5. Frustrating day. He was given nothing service wise and didn’t create himself a lot.

Austin. 6. Should have been on earlier.

Maynard. 5. Winger switch failed miserably and not added anything to the team as of yet imo. We still look like the plodding, pedestrian team from IB days. How on earth were hanging onto 7th, I’ll never know.

On balance, 7th is remarkable as we really don’t look like a dominant force at all. We look, dare I say it, predictable.

Robertson is getting better each game. Today he battled well and looked decent.
