Didn't look that bad, but that's coming from an ex Sunday league clogger.

Jodi did well, as did Shipley.

Eccles had a strong second half.

Number 37 (don't know who it was), looked good when he came on.

No idea.

For anyone ITK, could I ask that they publish shirt numbers next to names.

They do it when they hand out teamsheets at the CBS.

As I said earlier, number 37 caught the eye, but I don't know who it was.

Where were they playing? Vague description?

EDIT: notice that you said he came on so I assume he was a sub.

So that means:
N'Gandu (67)
Rus (76)
Evans-Harriott (90)

My guess is Rus

RWB.

Didn't look like N'Gandu and was on for more than the last minute.

Must have been Rus unless he was on all game and I only noticed him in the second half when he was playing down the side where the spectators are.

Numbers against players would really help.

Blaine Rowe was probably the right-back if they were on all game.

Did he get booked 10-15 mins from the end? If so it was Rus (according to the twitter updates)

I'm confused now.

Number 37 definitely showed a lot in the second half.

I was mostly on Jodiwatch (good) and Tylerwatch (not so good).

I'm giving up commenting on footballers who's identity I'm unsure of.

EDIT: a quick google image search shows it WAS Blaine Rowe (I think). Definitely was stronger in the second half.

Was there today. Will give some ratings as I've got nothing better to do...

Tyler 6 - didn't have much to do. Managed to give away a indirect free kick 6 yards out by picking up the ball after already putting it down

Rowe 8 - up and down the line brilliantly. Loves to fly into a tackle and very good going forward as well. Sometimes touch is slightly heavy but was very impressed

Drysdale 9 - Always looks brilliant at that level. Heads everything and fantastic on the ball. Never very impressed when he's played for 1st team though

Burroughs 9 - made some fantastic last ditch tackles and blocks. Real standout considering this is his first year as a pro. Looks to be bulking up nicely as well having not seen him for a couple of months

Reid 9 - fantastic today. Similar to Rowe on the other side but with a bit more control about him. Another one that loves a tackle

Eccles 7 - solid game. Possibly looked like he was struggling for fitness slightly. Does the defensive job in midfield really well a bit like Kelly in terms of getting himself between man and ball and winning free kicks. Smart player

Howley 7 - less physical than Eccles but another 1st year pro. Lots of time on the ball but would like to see him be a bit more positive in his passing

Shipley 7 - found some decent spaces between midfield and their defence. Some good touches but looked knackered after 60 mins (shock)

Jones 6 - few good moments and can tell the talent. Struggles with the pitch. In his own words after getting fouled.. 'I can't even dribble on this pitch it's so shit'

Tavares 7 - got it behind with his pace a few times and made a couple of nice passes. Playing as one of two number 10's

Walker 6 - Could have had a hat trick if he was anywhere near the top of his game. Doesn't look sharp in front of goal at the moment. Looks a lot stronger up close than you realise. Did quite well with his back to goal

Rus looked lively when he came on. Has always impressed when I've seen him

What is it with Shipleys stamina? Been an issue all his career. You'd have thought as a professional athlete he'd have done something about it.

Ngandu only a sub, and now behind Howley as a midfielder. Does that mean he is not going to make it?

Ngandu is the captain

edit: noticed its not very clear and could be interpreted wrong by people who havent looked at the line up, the u23 club captain
