Ratings v MKD

[DMR]

Rhys- looks like the break did him good, improved kicking and caught/collected anything he came for. Bit of a soft goal- 6

Jenkins- worked very hard, good cross for the goal, wound their winger up a treat, got forawrd well in the second 45- 7

Heywood- generally solid, no aerial battles to win really, sucked out of position a bit- 6

O'Hanlon- as above really, but needs to offload the ball quicker at times- 6

Duke-  was utter shit. At fault for the first goal, went down easily, kept giving it away, dwelt on it too long, didn't get forward- 3

Roberts- thought he was immense in the second half, they were scared of him, despite a lacklustre start. A bit selfish at times, shouldn't have come off- 7

Igoe- when he ran at them directly he was great but he didn't do that enough- 6

Migs- thought he was sublime in parts and worked very hard, lovely touches and creates time, I assume he was hurt because he was our best player until subbed- 8

Hewlett- what the fuck was that? Was he playing?- 3

Smith- not enough pace to play out there and poor crossing improved as game went on. Tireless effort, felt sorry for him- 6

Parkin- this guy is fucking class- 8

The subs were at opposite ends of the spectrum, Ifil was fucking immense and Howard was a joke.

Thought that perhaps a draw was fair? We dominated the second, they ruled the first. All I can say is that everyone could tell Smith was going to go to the keppers left and that needs addressing.

Gutted.

Why didnt Parkin take the penno....?!

Ratings were spot on...maybe one or two more for Hewlett, he tackled well every now and again....he was no GRANT SMITH though :evil:

[adje]

Evans 5;seems to have a weakness with shots across him
Jenkins 6;great assist
O'Hanlon 7;pick of the defenders til Ifil came on
Heywood 6;you get what you see
Duke5;worst game for a while(I'm pro-Duke)
Igoe 4;very ineffective
Roberts 5;Unfit-and it showed
Hewlett 3;Cant think of anything else to say about that pussy
Migz 6;touches of class but largely ineffective-fired a good chance out of the ground
Smith 7;Involved in everything good about our performance(pen apart)
Parkin 8;MOM tireless performance
Ifil 7;deserves a recall imo
Howard 5;made no impact

Bit harsh on Roberts, I thought he was one of our best players, looked like he was going to make something happen and had several good chances. I agree with the rest though, especially Ifil's recall.

Re Roberts-yeah he did have several chances but I think a fit Christian would have scored

Why didnt Parkin take the penno....?!

King says he doesn't feel comfortable taking them,his crap penalty the previous week bears that out.

Strange really considering how cool he normally is infront of goal. :roll:

So poor it went in?

I only remember Parkin missing one penalty (against Blackpool) but I seem to recall he has scored all his others...

[reeves4england]

Still a crap penalty though! And it was decided ages ago that Smith would take them as he has "the cleanest strike of a ball" at the club

[DMR]

I'd have let Ifil take it myself. Or Heywood. You know they're not going to bother with fucking about and this 'putting it in the corner' lark. Whack!

[reeves4england]

With Heywood its always going to go 100mph straight down the 'keeper's throat, unless he has the sense to move out of the way!

Should have been saved easy.It's Parkin who apparently said it, not me so if Parkin says he doesn't feel comfortable taking them then he doesn't feel comfortable taking them and wont take them normally (unless like the other week he was on a hat-trick)

If we wanted a penalty taker cant we try and buy back Gurney
