Slocombe 7 - A few good saves especially first half.
Cameron 5 - I don't want to be jumping on the crap defence bandwagon but I have been saying it all season. I don't think he's very good at any part of defending apart from heading.
Rawlinson 5 - I didn't think the positional changes caused that many problems and thought he did ok at LCB. Sloppy ball into Bostock for the penalty though.
Brindley 4 - not noticeably worse than any of the other defenders and swept up nicely a few times. Drove out of defence with ball at feet once and I would like to see him do that more often, otherwise what's the point of having a diminutive right back playing there. Loses a point for costing me YAPs with the injury time nonsense with Austin.
Jones 5 - went missing first half, got his mojo back second half.
Nemane 6 - well taken goal, not much else.
O'Brien 7 - Along with Slocombe was for me the only other player to do himself justice first half. Is hitting form after a run of games. Seems to be the de facto captain, like the way he *******ed Cameron for a sloppy pass on the 10 minute mark.
Bostock 5 - a terrific ball to Langstaff but not enough to make up for quite a lot of sloppiness. A rare off day for the big man. From the not very close up view on iFollow I thought he was unlucky for the penalty but he didn't protest too much so who knows.
Crowley 5 - couple of nice moments but not on it. Silly decision to hold on to their player for the penalty, just be more switched on and be first to the loose ball, no?
McGoldrick 5 - didn't do much of note, seemed to be getting frustrated.
Langstaff 6 - good finish, could have had another with the close range effort (knee?), but a little bit off the pace apart from that.
Subs - who cares, they were pretty anonymous too, apart from Austin who distinguished himself by getting into a muddle for the last goal and gets a 4 mainly for costing me YAPs.
One of those games when almost everyone has an off day. You are almost certainly gonna lose. We managed to get back to 2-2 after being outplayed but still found a way to lose.
Nothing else to do on days like today than look at the big picture and say we are doing better than OK. But there are a couple of worrying aspects to this team.
