Not an easy game to rate, but here's my two penn'orth:

Fitzsimons 6 – not much chance with any of their goals, didn’t have a lot to do otherwise.
Tootle 6 – an average performance
Duffy 6 – nothing special but no real errors
Brisley 6 – silly booking but made up for it with a goal.
Dickinson 5.5 – not up to his recent standard
Hawkridge 5 – saw a fair bit of the ball but didn’t do a lot with it
Hewitt 6 – average, his long throws were a bit better
Yates 6.5 – competed well, helped us hold our shape
Grant 4.5 – couldn’t beat his full back, probably his worst game yet
Stead 5.5 – tried hard, but not a lot worked
Ameobi 7* - some classy touches, could have done better with the chances he had

Allesandra 7 – soon got into the game, good goal and offered us more of a threat
Jones 6 – good cross to get us back in the game
Forte 6.5 – seemed to be injured soon after coming on, but stuck at it to earn us a point

A point few would have envisaged at 0-3, especially with Ameobi and Forte struggling with injuries. We now need 3 points at Morecambe, even though our striking options could well be limited. The spirit of this squad can’t be questioned, but I still think we need some inspired transfer activity in January to become genuine top 3 contenders.
