The difference a game/win makes eh.
We were poor imo, devoid of any link up play going forwards, we seem to have had that mowbray push knocked out of us now replaced by some old Serie A type defensive boring football. We are boring to watch, we piss around and make stupid passes in around the danger zones, see JRC and a superb Garrett tackle first half for what would have been a certain goal. We look poorly coached to be honest. We don't learn, we don't play to the strengths of the group instead we are trying to play a way we are coached and it shows to be honest, the players don't look happy with it, the XG is with the bottom four of the league. Cardiff on Xg would have scored 3 x as many goals as rovers prior today, did they look in any way doing that? No.
Kaminski 6 - His kicking is appalling, spectator for most of the came.
JRC 6 - Still to central for my liking, poor positionally in this role, allows that ball over the top to many times.
Hyam 7 - Solid, really earns his money in the second half. Some crucial choice making, first half I thought he was a bit clumsy.
Ayala 7 - Without a doubt our best CB whilst fit, his reading of the game is second to none. Second division Sami Hyypia.
Pickering 6 - Stuck to the task in the first half against his best mate NG, hope his injury wasn't bad as it was notable how weak we are once we introduced the impersonator Edun.
Morton 5 - Overplayed for me, a better game than recent, he's in the team as he reads the game and is mentally quicker than most, but his passing a good 3-4 times overhit/overplayed partially down to a lack of movement around him but we lost possession and we can't afford that against better sides.
Garrett 8 - Everywhere, stupid challenge for the yellow, world class challenge afterwards before HT in our box, simple or long he has a good pass, like a better young version of Travis. Really shone for me today.
Hedges 7 - Technically and game wise on another planet to this team, seems to make the right choices at the right times usually, never stopped all day.
Back 8 - Ran his nuts off all game, on field captain looking around pushing, demanding to close down, scored fluky but they all count, his passing bar crosses on his right foot was so technical at times.
Gallagher 5.5 - Ran his heart out, tracked back many of times to help JRC, a lack of options ahead meant he drove the ball in field to many times and he must have lost it 4 times at least, a pain for the opposition and gave Kipper some thought.
BBD 5 - Poor, Me me me. That said he was moaning after 60 mins on the field for options after some good tracking back and winning the ball, should have squared to A.Wharton in the dying stages but went for glory.
Edun 2 - 3 times he lost his man, 2 went into the danger zone. An apopolytic disaster waiting to happen at LB.
A.Wharton - 5 Skied clearance but should have got the ball of BBD. Limited game time.
Travis 6 - Added some bite, ref should have blown for a foul at one point on him, he got on won the ball back.
JDT 6 - Poor subs yet again, wrong timings. What's Markanaday got to do to get some mins especially with BBD not on form?
A Scrappy win against the team whom have scored least in the division.
