Waiting to hear from those who've insisted Freddy is a "has-been" and is "past it"........until he came on, we didn't look like getting a goal. Suddenly, Fred comes on and we're instantly more forceful. Finish was vintage Fred, proper goal poacher's instinct, and that's something that's lacking amongst our other forwards.
Thought the tactics were wrong today, the nice, fluid play we employed on Monday had gone out of the window for a more "hoof it" approach, for someone to run onto. It didn't work today, Loza looked far inferior to Barney.
Dan - 6, had very, very little do. The kicking was a bit wayward at times today
Johnny W - 7, solid and made a nuisance of himself. God knows what the wrestling was about!
Sokolik - 8, MOTM, Egan was the better defender Monday, today it was Sokolik's turn. Did everything asked of him and more
Egan - 7, solid
Coker - 7, no opportunity for over lapping runs - who do we blame that on?
Hurst - 7, better performance from Kev today, some good runs and decent crossing
Tims - 6, quiet day at the office for Tims
Atkinson - 6, industrious but not at his most effective
Lenny - 7, seems to be the kicking target for every team we play at the moment. I guess he should take that as a compliment
Barney - 8, just misses out on MOTM to Sokolik. Worked bloody hard
Loza - 5, real after the Lord Mayor's performance. Welcome to the dirty side of L2 football
Subs:
Murphy for Timlin - 6, not enough opportunity to run at the defence, wanted to see the bursts of pace we'd expected
Fred for Barney - 7, never doubted him for a second. Held the ball up in the corner really well (even though there were some people not realising what was going on and calling for them to stop messing about and to cross it!)
Laird for Loza - 6, if he's playing for a contract, then he needs to do more
Officials - far too lenient, cards should have been out earlier and their GK booked for time wasting first half.
