Aaaand breathe...

A couple of players had good halves, but I can think of one who had a solid 90... :sherlock:

Odimayo for me, constantly good defending and attacking.

Conroy for me. Classy and still getting up to speed.

Conroy. Grounds best performance for us too though

Baudry for me.

I seem to keep picking players that nobody else does recently but I thought Anthony Grant was excellent today. Conroy was like a rolls Royce today. Get him fit and sharp he can play anywhere in defence or midfield. Fryers good apart from a 10 minute spell at the end of the first half where he was at fault for 2 gilt edged chances, luckily only punished once.

 :eek: Must have been happening off-camera.

honestly thought he was solid and won a lot.

I probably missed the bad bits

Thought he was dire personally

I thought he was below average.

Sometimes actually being there you see different elements though and Batch was in attendance today.

Odimayo by a long mark - he didn't put a foot wrong and was the most effective attacking outlet !
We really must get him tied to a longer contract, and soon !

Can't afford to risk 'another Donahue', who is now on trial at Bolton - why the hell didn't we retain his registration, for the possibility of receiving a fee for him !

Didn't take him long to get in trouble again....

Dion Conroy the best player on the park.
Vocal, cool, calm and collective and gave the midfield time to settle.
Cracking assist for the first. At the heart of all our moves and that will help his confidence no end.

Conroy gave Grant the space to operate in.

Yeah I was there too. From what I watched, Charlton kept playing the ball in his channel and Baudry couldn't cope

must just be me then :)

You are probably right. I just thought Grant was much better ‘between the lines’ and kept things moving forwards. It does help having a very good ball playing centre back behind him.

Apart from a couple of misplaced passes, Conroy was outstanding mom for me but Odimayo wasn’t far behind

Kovar - Still improving each game but slipped when one on one
Odimayo - Still reminds me of how Nathan Thompson plays, minus the falling over when breathed on bit, Solid performance joining the attack and tracking back but final third passing wasn't the standard of Caddis
Baudry - I don't know how this bloke still gets in the starting 11 in honesty
Fryers - Technically at fault for letting Bogle through one on one with Kovar but has added so much strength to our backline since returning from injury
Grounds -  Better performance but still not great. Would rather have Conroy or Broadbent (when fit) in the backline
J Smith - Did OK until he went off but crossing from wide positions is still not good enough for what we want and need
A Grant - Seemed to really benefit from a well-earned rest and was more like the Grant we're used to from last season
Conroy - MOM pick for me. Comes back into the side, plays out of position and takes to it like duck to water. Much better quality final third passes than Matt Smith and was evident from playing Jaiyesimi in on goal. Quality player and like a brand new signing
Matt Smith - Worked hard and did alright
Jaiyesimi - Seems like he's finding his feet in that role up top. Able to roll off defenders and cause havoc.
T Smith - Worked hard but really needs decent service and open space to make an impact on the game. Reminds me of a shorter Jamie Vardy
Payne - Did alright when coming on and playing out of position
Pitman - That physical presence up to made the difference in the end. Would really love to see Pitman and T Smith upfront as a partnership as I think they would compliment each others style of play well.
Hunt - great to see him get some minutes on the pitch and add depth and competition back into the squad

Bring on Portsmouth.. I really fancy us to surprise them and a few doubters. The Robins are on the rise!

On the day I thought that Baudry was our only weak link

I wasn’t able to keep a full eye on the game because of events, but from what I saw baudry looked ropey again

Think we might have to chalk up that this is a level too far for Baudry

Well this one's going to the wire.

Judging by the voting...yes :)

I'm off to specsavers

So I get all excited because there's been a new, possibly decisive, vote.

Turns out it's only Batch Jr acting under duress.  >:(

hahaha. No. Must be Baudry himself

Oh come on, reading all this there was only one way I could vote.

Are you not taking this seriously? You realise I'm compiling banks of statistics based on these polls.  >:(

I didn't watch the game, would it help if I voted?

Someone who was actually at the game voted for Baudry. On that basis, fill your boots.  ::)

ooii
