Player ratings v Grimsby

[SmiffyPie]

But he can’t really defend can he? - we have 5 attackers and only 3 defenders which I think makes us unbalanced as a team.

He can't track back, defend or head a ball.

Low scores for the new fella. No good?

I thought he looked a bit lost in the first half and Bostock took over the role playing deep.
I think when LW used to say we needed to get a player up to speed, this was a good example of why he said it.
We looked better when Sam came on. IMO

Stone 4
Rawlinson 5
Baldwin 5
Cameron 5
Nemane 7
Jones 9
Bostock 5
Robertson 4
Crowley 6
McGoldrick 8
Langstaff 6

I’d probably give Nemane a 6 tbh yes he scored 2 tap ins but he also went missing down the right for a least 2 of there goals.
Robertson probably about a 2 just for turning up and filling a shirt as did nothing else.

I was surprised that Robertson started and would forgive him for not slotting straight in.
What I did find a slight concern was the way he was outmuscled 3 times in the first half. I was of the understanding he was a tough tackling midfielder, but he looked pretty lightweight.
It’s one game and he’s a young lad so I’m sure the next few games will be an improvement.

They are both wing backs in the modern game you cant be Maldini at defending and John Barnes attacking especially at this level.

Nemane is suited to this role running from deep.

He did score twice, must count for something.

A clear mistake starting Robo, Austin has been OK there recently and we improved no end when he came on, a wrong turn by Jimmy at the wheel 🚙

But he did put it right!

The first time I saw him use some muscle he got a yellow.

Thoughts on the ref?
I thought he was terrible. Some really bad errors (for both sides) and he let some definite fouls on us go, especially in the second half.
