Player ratings v Solihull

[jacobncfc]

Slocombe 6.5 - not a busy afternoon but was fine. His kicking was a bit mixed, but way better than their keeper.
Brindley 6.5 - some good runs out of defence, did his job.
Baldwin 7 - won most of his challenges and looked comfortable on the ball.
Cameron 6.5 - not yet the dominant player of last season, but played his part.
Nemane 7 - posed a threat going forward, and did his defensive bit well.
Palmer 7 - always available and rarely wasted a pass.
Bajrami 8* - played a huge part in helping us win the midfield battle, not just the physical battle but also showing a fair bit of ability on the ball.
Chicksen 7 - the usual energy without looking a natural wing back. Great to see him on the scoresheet.
Rodrigues 7.5 - the odd misplaced pass, but a real creative influence. He can do things few players at this level can do.
Scott 6.5 - got involved, I'd have to see a replay to understand his thinking on the backheel!
Langstaff 7 - drew a blank, but still got in the right positions and caused them problems.

Austin 7 - added a bit of spark when he came on.
Mitchell 6.5 - should have played Ruben in, but offered a good outlet late in the game.
JOB - n/a

Considering the opposition, that was an impressive performance. We created a lot while stopping them playing. If we can maintain this standard we have a real chance of achieving something this season.

Pretty much agree with all of the comments, but think the ratings are probably about one down across the board, we were really good. Rodrigues and Bajrami in particular, we’ll be doing well if we see many better individual performances this season than those two today.

You could be right, it's just that we didn't win as comfortably as we should have won, and Solihull weren't very good. That's probably because we didn't allow them to be very good, so I'll compromise and upgrade everyone by half a point!

Thanks for the ratings everyone. Is great to hear we played so well….we have been here before though! It’d be so typical of the last few years to put in a good performance and then lose or draw at somewhere like Aldershot. If we perform to a similar standard over the next few games I’ll maybe start to put that playoff defeat to bed!
