Fadz MOTMAnybody?
Wilson - 7: Another solid performance, best save was from Hamer and seemed to have improved his distribution a bit, and nothing makes be giggle like his timewasting when we’re 1-0 up.
Rose - 7: Looked good before his injury, passing has improved and some excellent interceptions. Can’t win shit in the air against their big lump though
Fadz - 7: Another typical Fadz performance. Absolute rock.
Panzo - 6: Not his best game, let’s the ball go past him too much and gets himself into trouble.
Eccles - 6: Does some good stuff but final ball was poor too often and had the RWB disease of refusing to get down the line and make space for the RCB.
Hamer - 7: Nearly scored at both ends! Looks a different player since his ban. Love his driving runs, and a couple of the balls to put people through were stunning.
Sheaf - 7: Solid game, used the ball well, made some vital blocks and headers away towards the end at 1-0.
Bidwell - 6: Solid if not spectacular, needs to improve his delivery weirdly enough.
Palmer - 6: Should have had a goal, some great play with O’Hare but didn’t look on his game and stuff wasn’t coming off for him.
O’Hare - 6: Fucking shoot! Not back to his best yet. He’ll get there.
Gyok - 7: Not his best game but what a fucking goal and he must be an absolute nightmare to play against.
Allen - 6: Ran around a lot. Actually got a block in so fair play.
Walker - 6: Thought he could have done better with his chance but on the replay it was behind him and he had a tiny space to aim for. Worked hard, but just didn’t come off for him.
Doyle - 6: Was OK. Like him on the ball more than I do defensively though.
Overall a better team performance than individual. Hard to pick a MOTM maybe Sheaf for his consistency and defensive duties towards the end, maybe Fadz.
Ref was shite again. Didn’t pull them up for their constant shirt pulling or timewasting. But spoke to Wilson about it as soon as he started.
Thought he was solid. Good to see a referee give Gyökeres a few free kicks.
Added the time on, too.
Thought that was about the best game Martin has had as a referee involving us. Normally he gives a penalty against us and nothing for us. Aldi thought he was better than most we’ve had all season.Ref was shite again. Didn’t pull them up for their constant shirt pulling or timewasting. But spoke to Wilson about it as soon as he started.
I dont think he was challenged at all. Looking immense and just gets betterFadz MOTM
Where's the 'everyone's a 10' GIF?
I find it hard to do ratings after we've won. I genuinely couldn't give a fuck if they were all threes and fours.
Hamer motm. Again for about the.
Absolute complete midfielder. What would we do without his drive and energy. Absolute gem. Reigning in his silly bookings now too. Hes way too good for this division.
Is there a more competitive league than this? A fine margins division. Crazy how bunched it is after nearly half a season goneCrazy tight

Side note: but I find the phrasing “no one got on the end of the cross” a but weird. You wouldn’t say that about any other pass on the field, you’d say “passed to no one” putting the emphasis on the passer not the rest of the team.
I honestly think crosses are overrated and half the time are just hit and hope with no intention of getting to a specific player. I’d much rather players picked a man out or ran in than floated the ball randomly ten foot in the air.
Would love to see some stats on how effective crosses generally but also ours are.
Oh yeah definitely is a case of hit and hope a lot of the time and not particularly blaming anyone for not being there, was just the only cross I can remember into a good area between the keeper and the backline. Decent pace and the keeper wasn't comfortable with it.
It's more of a decision thing. Like choosing to float one in right next to the keeper when we have one player in the 6 yard box etc which leads to an easy catch which I think Bidwell did a couple of times.
I would also be interested in seeing those stats. I imagine we tend to cross a lot less than other teams in general?
We’re in ‘new ceiling’ territory, lads!
But what did Lidl Mark Robins think?Thought that was about the best game Martin has had as a referee involving us. Normally he gives a penalty against us and nothing for us. Aldi thought he was better than most we’ve had all season.
It seems to be one of those ideas that go back to an older age of football, where you have a battering ram centre-forward who'd just assault the keeper to score. Didn't matter where the cross went - the onus was on the striker to make something of it.Side note: but I find the phrasing “no one got on the end of the cross” a but weird.
