Would have bitten your hand off for that result before the game, just a shame after going 2-0 up and throwing it away with some awful set piece defending. Protected the lead late on but rightly so as they were all over us.
Bentley at fault for the first, though could easily say that it should already have been dealt with by the time it got to him. Thompson and Barrett both looked in a mess for the second, which is even more worrying given that Bolger and Prosser didn't look much better as of late.
My ratings (based on watching the game online)
Bentley 6 One costly error but redeemed himself with another great save in the second half which looked a certain goal
White 6.5 Struggled with JCR's pace and skill at times but generally did okay
Thompson 6 Looked rusty, to be expected given the amount of time he's been out but that comes down to Brown's decision to play him twice in a week
Barrett 6.5 Started well but not the cool and experienced head he usually is
Coker 6.5 Fairly regular and average performance, defended well and did get forward but not his usual impact
Worrall 6.5 Bursts of pace and threats but inconsistent and sloppy in possession at times
Atkinson 5.5 Offers nothing, lost possession regularly, didn't protect the back four nor offered much going forward
Leonard 8 Best performance I've seen from him in a long time and a great goal, threw himself into every tackle
Hurst 6 What we've come to expect from him, which unfortunately is not a lot
Payne 7 Energetic and caused problems for them when he ran at them, well taken goal and superb movement
Mooney 6 Not a target man, and not really a lone striker, struggled to have any real influence
Subs
Pigott 6 Barely had any influence on the game
Weston 6.5 Put himself about but with little reward
Timlin 6.5 Made things a bit more solid defensively but looked to get forward
Looking back that feels quite harsh, as it's a great point, but they really aren't very good.
