Well that was painful. Our worst performance so far, little control, proper L2 clogging. I only spotted two consistently good performances among all that dross. Let's see if you agree.

Wollacott is my player of the season at this very early stage...

I don't think he's far wide. We were poor today. But RF seems to be overlooking what we did well today so 'dross' is a tad unfair.

Let's hope that Wollacott's performances do not attract the attention of the 'bigger' lower league teams.

Problem? Only Jojo and Conroy played to their potential. Everyone else was below par.

When your keeper is MoM for 2 games running there is obviously something not right.
Don’t know what sell on City have on JoJo but what the hell. What a keeper!

Not poor in my opinion. Problem? Only Jojo and Conroy played to their potential. Everyone else was below par.
No problem. Just see it differently. Thought they did well

Without Wollacott in the first half we would have been dead and berried. He continued to remain strong in the second half too. Inspired the rest of the defence.
Wollacott 9 Kept us in the game. Couple of super saves. Only one untidy one, but kept us in the game. Looks so solid at the back
Iandolo 6 Looked good going forward in the first half, but run ragged in defence with little help from Payne.
Conroy 8 Thought he was immense at the back. Several goal saving challenges
Critchlow 7.5 Aerial command superb. Always in the right place, except for a 5 min period at the end of the first half, where he was all over the shop
Odimayo 6 Solid if unspectacular. Offered little going forward. Caught up the pitch a little on a couple of occasions but bailed out by Conroy
Reed 7 Very very defensive midfield performance. Solid in front of the defence. Did well at that. Didn’t really venture forward, other than to press a couple of times
Grant 6.5 Shithousing well again. Blasted over a shot in the first half. Tried to protect the back four. Didn’t link well with KKH today.
Payne 7 Scored. Looked threatening in the first half when facing their goal, but was pressed into mistakes a number of times in our half with his back to goal.
Gladwin 5.5 Couple of sublime interactions with others, one of which brought the goal. However, the only time he was in the game was when the ball was on his toe. He was so far off the pace again and I really think his legs have gone. I hope not, as I really want him to do well
KKH 6 Didn’t get into the game much today. Did better in last 20 mins of second half, but not as threatening as he has been.
Simpson 7 What a conundrum this fella is. Did some really good hard work harrying and hustling off of the ball. And a couple of good bits of link up play, including sliding in Payne for the goal. But, he is a wide player and not a CF imho. He’s doing his best in that role and trying hard. But he is often on his heels, doesn’t anticipate well and doesn’t win headers.
Subs: Hunt Brought on to solidify the left. Parked at LB. No attacking.
Williams Moved around nicely. Shithoused well.
East Reed was totally knackered. Came on to defend for a few mins.

Simpson's got something about him. And let's not forget he got an assist today. If it was a goal you'd say it was well taken.
But that 'something' isn't a goal scoring something. I reckon he could destroy this division if we found the right position for him, we just need to figure out what that position is.

KKH wasn't as impressive today.
I reckon he's wasted in a forward position. I think his potency lies in his ability to run with the ball from deep positions causing teams all sorts of tactical problems.
