FGR were a stern test, lively and organised. They were sharper for most of the game and we grabbed a point out of sheer doggedness and resilience. Overall, scrappy and far too clumsy in possession.
Collin - apart from shocking kicks, did ok, started rolling ball out late on & it helped - 6
Tootle - no frills or finesse but battled away all day, gave little away - 6
Duffy - a couple of "moments" early on but recovered well and as solid in 2nd half, very assured - 6
Brisley - caught flat footed a few times and struggled with Doidge occasionally but generally ok - 6
Dickinson - all grit and determination, played some decent passes in 2nd half too - 6
Hawkridge - wasteful and clumsy, far too slow on the ball - 4
Yates - poorest I've seen him, couldn't mark, tackle or pass - 4
Milsom - the crude challenge aside, a beacon of calm and composure, deserved his goal - 8
Grant - borderline anonymous at time but showed glimpses of quality and gets the ball into the box - 6
Forte - this bloke put another great shift in, causes problems and very lively, pity he couldn't manage a shot - 7.5
Stead - last home game was the best I've sen from him, back to usual ineffective self and off the pace today - 4
Alessandra - busy but unproductive - 5
Hewitt - as bad as Yates, shocking distribution - 4
Ameobi - big, awkward, creates problems for defenders (Note to Stead - this is what you could have done) - 6

They were. Hawkridge looked lightweight and didn't seem to have the same tenacity as usual. Yates was clumsy and ineffective. Stead was just his usual plodding self - high time he was dropped.

Midfield played far too deep and could not be trusted not to give the ball away or to find a Notts man in front of them, this leads defenders with no choice but to lob the ball forward over their heads, straight to the FGR midfielders who knew the centre of the field was theirs.

Sounds to me like the players let the Mansfield loss in midweek get to them. All the more important that they salvaged a point today.
