Fuck me that was dire.

Austin scored the penalty and assisted incredibly for the second and was organizing the defence before he went off.  It was inevitable that the equaliser was scored after he went off.

Brewitt good value for his goal after coming back into the set up. Austin gets a nod for getting a goal albeit it was a token penalty. Can only do that. Still feel he needs to literally play as a poacher and only coming on for 30ish mins {in an ideal world}. No chance of utilising him properly with the intent from the above hierarchy of having as nominally small size squad as legally possible. The fan base deserve better than that - even Flynn deserves better than that but he made his {and seemingly Clem's} bed a long time a go now, so he doesn't get a bye. A tactical disaster class. The squad definitely needs a solid DCM but I think even Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles saw this was a necessity in Summer '23. Writing's on the wall and Flynn definitely is not ''The Genius''.

Back to PotM, it is seemingly always slim pickings {irony much} this season. For me there was mostly only any true sense of creation from Kokolo or Shade really. Both seemed to be pushing to create. Lovely cross from Kokolo near the end which on other day someone gets on the end of to give a two goal buffer.

Kokolo shades it

Stats aren't everything etc. but Whoscored have it as Kinsella by a mile and a half. 7 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 clearances and 2 blocks.

Kinsella probably gets it for that one off the line - which probably preserved the point for us today.

Austin’s contributions (goal & assist) were vital but literally all he did.

Kinsella from Kokolo.  Plenty of heart from most but quality drop significant and not enough height.

How bad was the Arkells side linesman?! Total coward. Always feel for the refs when they get no support from their “assistants.”

Glad people are voting for Kinsella.  Had a good game despite the result.  Sound for Brewitt too

I can’t see why people have mentioned Brewitt. As a 3, Minturn, Brewitt and UGM were all over the shop - especially Brewitt and UGm, who were often playing the same position and leaving everyone unmarked.

The midfield were over run and dropped too deep. Kinsella was the best of them. Cain and Khan were bloody awful!

Kokolo got skinned on several occasions but tried to get forward. I’d be surprised if Hutton is here much longer. He looked gone.

Ward flapped. Austin had no legs. Shade disappeared after 15 mins.

So I don’t really know who to vote for

Nobody apart from Brewitt can win a header! All Shade and Austin was back in - didn’t even bother jumping.

Stick Brewitt up top.

Stick Brewitt up top.

Stick him at the base of the midfield and we might win a 50/50, a second ball or a header in the middle of the park.

Well, when we’ve gone from passy passy to hoofy hoofy I concur.

Probably the most one sided ref performance I've ever seen. Gave us everything and them nothing.

And we still couldn’t win.

He gave them 4 minutes of stoppage time - what more could they have possibly wanted

1st half Shade was very good 2nd half he just faded so badly and looked lost, if it was on the 1st half alone Shade would have walked it for me.

Explain to me what he did for a front man?  He was always out of position (sort of expected) and pretty much remained disconnected from Austin the entire time.  He wasn't the worst player yesterday, but he was not good, none of them were.

It's like the defenders getting plaudits because they carried the ball out of defence well - try fucking being a defender, please.

I know you don't intend to impact it and you do a great job collating the data but I feel posting these from WhoScored, has potential to bear influence on the result of the poll ;)

Called out Kinsella early on in the MDT and nothing happened to changed my mind after that.

I do make a point of not putting my opinion (statistical or otherwise) into the first post.
