I went Baudry too, closely followed by Tomlinson, thought he did ok
Tomlinson was good shooting in the first half, but dead dodgy defending. Last touch by us of the first half and I'm shocked that the ref didnt give one of two penalty shouts from him in the second.

Some people pulled me up for my criticism of JML. That's fair enough but I think we should be grateful to have a player of Williams' quality

Only if he performs the name alone isn't enough to guarantee promotion!

He is quality and showed it in the first half.  However he was one who faded, imo. He may well have more of an excuse than most for any lack of apparent fitness.

But its no good having someone as slippery and tricky as him if you don't have a midfield around him giving him room to play.

We showed a lack of midfield and a lack of quality in the final third.

Mirrors the season. We won't get anything now.

Unless McKirdy is back and full fit for the next game we are done for this season.

Again, the only player who wants to take the ball forward and isn’t afraid of losing it

We've definitely missed Simpson who was capable of scoring a goal from nothing.

yeah. agreed

in many ways Davison is a better footballer. But not a scorer. And not as strong (obvs)

Garner:
- Misfortune in the game
- Pleased with performance and amount of opportunities we created. Its just down to lady luck
- A little bit of bad luck. Barry flashed one across in 2nd half. Payne hit one across goal and Davison couldnt get to it
- Difficult pitch but played good football
- Sometimes you dont get what you deserve
- Very good first half. Rochdale changed shape to make it difficult for us
- Got in good positions. Could have created more
- Didnt get finishes right and keeper made good saves
- A little bit too open and end to end ofr 10 mins
- Started 2nd half well. Could have been 2 or 3 up
- Dry, bumpy pitch
- Diagonals was where the space was. Tried to find them early. Went away from it later on
- We were inches away from scoring
- JOB is unwell. Hope he'll be training next week
- Everyone contributed today. Wollacott didnt have much to do
- Positive away performance and following
- Egbo is pushing for a start but hasnt played 90 mins since November. Need to keep developing him
- Any team would miss McKirdy. He would have made something happen today
- Wollacott is top of the world for what hes done. Players watched draw with him last night and cheered him on
- Pointed out he might face Ronaldo first off

Davison offers the team more. Simpson a much more potent striker.
Think they’d be pretty dangerous as a front two or even with McKirdy as a front three

Yeah, imagine that as a front three.  With Simpson as the forward and Davison and Mckirdy work rate either side, that would be a mental attack, good enough for next level up as well
