The updates came via me, if anyone was wondering. Same old faces watching the game and like i said to BB at half time, i really hope Tilly is going to be dipping into the loan market. Shorty had nowt to do. Cant really remember a save that he had to make. They hit the post with their only real opportunity. Good kicking and also quite vocal too. He seemed frustrated with our "shooting" which was funny to see at times. Defensively, we were pretty bad. With Gilbert, Francis and Richards all playing, you'd expect a half decent performance but the left back Herd was clearly the best out of the 4 although i must admit Francis did well with a few Barrett-esque januts up the pitch and Zoltan was always very alert to make sure he covered him.
Onto the midfield, and didn't think Peggy played that well, which was a pity. Forshaw never really got into the game and i was more impressed by Priest who came on for the injured Black at HT and looked much more dangerous going forward. Zoltan was the stand out man, winning headers and looking very calm and composed on the ball WHEN GIVEN TIME. He was pretty sloppy on the ball when hurried but for a supposed central defender, he got across the pitch well and spear-headed alot of our attacks.
Up top and thought Charlie Mac may have just edged it for my MOtM. Linked up well with Black earlier on and he created a few chances for both himself and his team mates. His goal mid-way through the 2nd half should never have been dissallowed. Perfectly timed run and finish and tbh you could see him run from behind the defender. I was hoping for more from Lindie and when Henry came on, he looked much more creative, had a good burst of speed and looked very aware for an 18yo! Lindie had a couple of golden oppo's to score, one which was very well saved and the other he should have burried it.
Ratings:
Shorty - 6.
Gilbert - 6. Improved 2nd half.
Francis - 7. Good going forward and defended better than Richards.
Richards - 6. Stiff. Very stiff.
Herd - 7. Calm, cool and composed and was the best Yoot on show.
Black - 6. In and out the game and subbed at HT due to injury.
Peggy - 6. Gave the ball away too much.
Zoltan - 7.
Forshaw - 6.
Charlie Mac - 7.
Lindie - 6.
Subs:
Priest - 7.
Henry - 7.
