Slocombe 6. Quiet day but handling was pretty good and was calm with a tight defence in front of him.
Brindley 7. Very strong performance , challenged for everything, used the ball pretty well and got forwards.
DKE 6.5 . Competed very well as always , tireless, does really well on his wrong side.
Rawlinson 7. Rock solid, back to his best.
Lacey 7.5. Best game of the season, quietly snuffed everything out without ever looking flustered.
Doyle 6.5 . Played well, got further forwards wasted very few passes.
Reeves 6.5. Got lucky with a sloppy pass early second half but always available for the ball and does cover a lot of ground.
Enzio 5.5. Thought he had a relatively poor game today. On his heels rather than his toes, didn't create much for the strikers and can't help feel there's something cautious and timid in his play when he should be more positive. He has more to give but too often can't seem to deliver it.
Rodriguess 7.5. Much better in the middle just behind the striker. Our most creative player, made a few passes in the first half that Charlie Slater said were wayward but I thought his team mates were slow to anticipate at times.
Effiong 6.5. Strong player and should get better. Could be a great partner for Wootton or Knowles. Held the ball up, has pace and power and offers us something we've lacked.
Wootton 7. Got through tons of work and if we feed him he will score.
Subs
Sam 6. Did ok
JOB. 6. Not on long but did ok.
Enjoyed the game, thought a draw was fair. Defence looks back to its best and the midfield looked more positive than of late, more forward momentum, less side to side.
Hopefully we'll get some momentum going with a run of games and start to score some goals. Thought we looked a better team today than we have for most of the season against strong opposition.
