Allsop-7- made some decent saves today, and handling and kicking were generally good, would keep him on loan due to his recent upturn in form.
phillips-8- was good as usual, didn't get beaten really, he got forward well and considering he hasn't trained in a month he has to get a high score. Sad to see he is injured again.
pennigton-9- my motm, he was quality today, got his head to everything, seemed to be the general of the back four. He was composed with the ball and he put some quality balls into the corner for the attackers. Would like to see ,ore of him at CB.
Willis-8- he like Pennington was fantastic, got his head to everything some decent challenges and these two seemed to work very well together despite their age.
Haynes-6- nothing special but did nothing wrong, seems to have lost his confidence to beat a man, and you can see teams target him with long balls, but he is improving and he did okay today. Part of a solid back four.
fleck-8- seemed to be back to his usual self, some neat touches, and some great passing, made some decent challanges.
thomas-8- hurrah a good performance, he made some great tackles today and kept things ticking over, keep it up!!! Fleck seems to play better with him as well.
JOB-7/8- what a goal, absolutely stunning, won the penalty as well and got the assist. Put in the hard yards as usual. Well done captain.
Jackson-7-he runs the lines well, and pressed the lines well and a lot of neat touches, showed some pace and like the way he has proved himself.
nouble- 7- needs to learn the release the ball earlier and pass more, but when he tries he is quality, he beat his man a few times and won a fair few set peices. Needs to be less greedy.
tudgay-8- showed what he could do today, held the ball up fantastically, could have let his head drop after that shocking pen, but he worked for the team and was unlucky to hit the bar. And his header for the goal was great for such a small bloke.
subs: didn't so much but Barton did give a greater degree of control.
pressley- he has to take the plaudits today it was bold to put tudgay in and he paid off. The system is working well and if we can get some new players in we can look forwards to the rest of the season?
