Hunt: 6- solid, good position and did nothing wrong. Would prefer Tootle as he is more mobile and gets forward more
Brisley: 7- always in the right position and won ever header. Goes about his business with no fuss.
Duffy: 6- did a lot of ugly things well, tackle and block but makes some very strange decisions when it comes to competing for headers. He seems to think it's ok not jump and either let the attacker win the header or feign injury, hoping for a free kick, both risky strategies.
Hunt: 8- solid at the back and got forward well, overlapping Hawkridge. Of course scored a fantastic freekick which allowed us to control the game.
Hawkridge: 6- worked hard but wasted the ball in decent crossing opportunities. He and Jones are forging a good partnership down the left.
Hewitt: 7-seem to be writing the same every match. Screened the back 4 well, covers the pitch
Yates: 7- Very strong in the tackle and sometimes reckless but he drives the team forward. Tried to get the ball down and pass it
Grant: 6- not his best game, tried to link the play where he could.
Ameobi: 5- usually a fan of his but teams seem to have worked him out by putting someone in front of him. Came off injured and Notts looked more threatening with Forte on the pitch
Stead: 6- worked his socks off again but his shooting is dreadful and he is obviously lacking confidence in front of goal. His link up play and control was slightly better than previous weeks
Forte: 7- just the fact that he can run the channels made Notts a better team. Isn't the best footballer in terms of passing or crossing and wasted a few balls but give him chance and he will hit the target like he did for the goal. Will be interesting to see how he gets on with a few starts
Milsom: 6- got the basics right and helped see out the game
