Trouble is with Grimmer is he gets beaten far too easily. Players just waltz past him with no challenge coming in whatsoever.General comments.
Back 4 solid - thought Grimmer created a lot of our attacking impetus and his constant running with and without the ball looked the most likely way of opening them up - particularly in the second half. Increasingly impressed with him going forward (does get beaten occasionally by the winger - but so do most full backs!). Thought Doyle was average - but always gives his all. Nazon was annoyingly greedy. McNulty good game, and I thought Beavon worked hard, although the lady lino seemed to have it in for him. Shipley's corners needed a Biamou or Vincenti on the end of them - disappointed our centre backs didn't get on the end of any corners.
Oh yeah - the ref was poor (as was lady lino), and even poorer for not addressing Crawley's time wasting.
But in my opinion his excellent cross didn't make up for all the poor play and I don't think Beavon did that much wrong apart from keep getting caught offside. Beavon just wasn't in the game enough, so not praising him, but he too put in an excellent cross for Nazon, from which he probably should have scored, or at least really tested the keeper from. One excellent cross from Haynes and one great pass from Beavon.Funny how many gave Haynes a bad score for looking poor it was his excellent cross that got us our goal.
Yes he did have couple of mare crosses but I didn't think he was worse then Beavon.
Reading the comments for the past few games is usually the goals are coming from Haynes not closing down and being bollocked when we concede, it would be difficult for Robins to take him out the team considering he put the cross in for the game without affecting his confidence but I would be tempted to play Camwell against Boreham because by all accounts he has a decent cross on him although it will probably be Stokes for game time
Lets hope he likes lettuce thenJust watched the highlights and have to say that non challenge from Grimmer where the ball hit the bar was quite scandalous.
Hope Robins gives him a rocket for that.
Willis being another culprit.Reading the comments for the past few games is usually the goals are coming from Haynes not closing down and being bollocked when we concede, it would be difficult for Robins to take him out the team considering he put the cross in for the game without affecting his confidence but I would be tempted to play Camwell against Boreham because by all accounts he has a decent cross on him although it will probably be Stokes for game time
Willis certainly hasn't been tight enough to his marker on a few goals this season.Willis being another culprit.

I was a bit puzzled by high marks for Willis yesterday, because both him and McDonald had a pretty easy afternoon for the most part.Ssssh! People don't like to mention his errors. He's kept clean sheets next to concrete Rod you know at the Ricoh where teams come and play negative football and try and snatch a win
It's that ginger fella, Haynes. He's crap. Let's talk about his errors because there the ones that matter.
I'm all seriousness Willis has been excellent at times this season yet can be poor too and switches off from time to time and has to be accountable for a few mistakes.
Mistakes will happen, it's how goals are taken but some errors get glossed over.
