Here are my brief ratings. I'm so...bleh...about all this
Evans n/a - Not sure what he was doing about their first goal, but it did look as if it was going miles wide from where I was sitting.
(Book) 6 - Didn't have much to do and can't be blamed for either goal, but his kicking puts Rhys' to shame. I'd leave him in goal for next week even if Rhys is fit to be honest.
Jenkins 3 - Utterly dire. I don't think I saw him in position for most of the game, made some basic mistakes and shouldn't he have been on the far post for the third goal? He crocked Sammy's best mate as well.
Heywood 6 - Did nowt wrong, didn't do a great deal right either. Worked hard and didn't let anyone down.
O'Hanlon 6 - Same as above really.
Duke 5 - For the first goal, there's no doubt he gave Elliott far too much space and continued to do so for awhile but later on in the game he offered a fair bit going forward and worked hard. Certainly not the worst player on the pitch.
Igoe 5 - Utterly ineffective apart from a couple of decent passes late on in the game.
Hewlett 1 - Did he play?
Smith 7 - I was impressed with him today, his workrate was high and was unlucky not to score at the end. He lacks ball control at times though but he gave it all he had today, which is more than many did.
Holmes 6 - Tried his best but had no service whatsoever. Ignored when in huge amounts of space and given the ball when he had nowhere to go. I've heard people moaning at him and I think it's fucking absurd, the lad is 17 ffs!
Parkin 8 - I'm going to make a post about this later. I love him.
Proctor 6 - Showed some good touches but not fit enough, doubt he'll reach full fitness before the end of his loan either unfortunately.
subs:
Miglioranzi 7 - Took him a few minutes to get into the game but looked lively, created chances, battled hard and even flew into tackles. Needs to start alongside Smith next week in place of Hewlett.
Fallon, oh sorry Slabber... bollocks to it.
I'm not even angry.
