First half was absolutely woeful, second was probably close to Blackburn for best we've played this season. All over the place defensively, no movement, constantly going sideways or a long ball to Ranger, they got very lucky with the first goal off Ranger's tag but the first half was very poor.
Second half was hugely improved, we had energy and movement and actually seemed to want it for the first time. No killer finishing but that was all that was really missing. Promising half but still work to do.
Oxley 7 Not a lot to do, couldn't be blamed for the goals, good communicating
Demetriou 8 Possibly the best I've seen him play, solid defensively and good deliveries
Ferdinand 6 A few mis-kicks and misjudgements but generally okay
Kyprianou 7 Did Ferdinand's running for him, good in the air and pace was inportant
Timlin 5 80% of his passes were massively over hit, pulled out of position at left back
Yearwood 6 In the Atkinson role but drifted far too central, lost his head before the sub but needed someone to put an arm around him and calm him down
Leonard 7 Not a lot came off for him, occasionally looked to drive forwards
Wordsworth 7 Quiet but superb run and finish for the goal and did well considering the circumstances
McLaughlin 7 More like his form of last season, tired as he game went on, only one with much credit first half
Ranger 7 First half was poor, partly down to having the ball hoofed up to him, second half he was much better with some smart flick ons and was good in the air
Cox 6 Like his whole season, very frustrating and often too deep
Subs
McGlashan 6 Quiet, pace but lacks end product
Hendrie 4 Looked like a competition winner, way off the pace, behind play, poor passing and crossing, dived into tackles
Robinson 8 Best he's played this season, his pace and energy out wide was crucial and they couldn't handle him
Fleetwood will be a very tough test but if we play like we did in the second half with Kightly in the side and Cox in better form and we will do alright.
