Player ratings vs. Posh

[Blackville]

Overall that was good performance AFTER we went 2-0 down. However, only Ricardo seems to be able to get away with 0-2 reverses and get something out of a game. Nice away section at Posh, much better than the Camp Nou! Decent following from NCFC, mostly supportive and trying to get behind the team. Perhaps it's time for the team to get behind the club and its fans?

1. Loach 7/10 - Totally exposed by his defence for the two goals. Stopped everything he could.

2. Tootle 5/10 - Nothing really came down his side, did OK in defence but not enough going forward.

3. Audel 6/10 - Did some good things but got caught out of position on a number of occasions. He does at least try.

4. Smith 6/10 - Battled hard but often overwhelmed. Left a hole behind him for goal no. 2. Not quite enough going forward.

5. Duffy 1/10 - Dreadful for the first 15 minutes which cost us the game, then actually played quite well, but must go now.

6. Hollis 1/10 - Outclassed

7. Thompson 4/10 - Obvioulsy not match fit yet. Harsh to to judge him on just this performance.

8. Richards 2/10 - Outclassed. Still a kid of course and will be much better in the future.

9. Stead 3/10 - It would be 6 but for a dreadful penalty. HIT THE ?~+%&$%£$%" BALL HARD.

10. Forte 8/10 - My MOM, kept trying, worried their defence unlucky with the shot off the bar.

11. Milsom 6/10 - Steady but sometimes needs to move the ball quicker.

Subs, Oliver (waste of space), Collins (never got on the ball), Campbell (looked good for 10 minutes, then had his position changed when the other subs were made and faded)

Management team 2/10 - Nothing wrong with the tactics, but why wasn't Laing playing? However, they are culpable for these appalling starts.

Trew -9/10 - He has saddled the club with a lot more debt than just the HMRC bill. (From a club employee last night)

That last bit is a worry if accurate @Blackville

[liampie]

you have been kind with some, i would struggle to grant any player above 6.

interesting to see tho. what does @Piethagoram and @Elite_pie say?

[Elite_pie]

Purely based on TV viewing, but I'd give:

Loach 6.5

Tootle 6

Duffy 6 

Hollis 4.5

Audel 5.5

Richards 5

Smith 6

Milsom 6

Thompson 5

Stead 5

Forte 6

 

I thought we did ok after a disastrous first 10 minutes.  Maybe that was because they took their foot off the gas at 2-0, and we never seriously looked like getting back into it.  The losing mentality continues, as do the gift goals.  Until those problems are addressed we are likely to struggle.

@ivansneck logged in as @Blackville by mistake, so blame me if it's wrong!

@Blackville and I listened to Radio Cambridgeshire on the way back last night and they were quite complimetary about Notts, saying that although they thought Posh deserved to win if Notts had scored the penalty or Forte's lob had gone in that Posh would have had a real fight on their hands. It was a good balanced discussion from a local radio station.

No worries @ivansneck I never shoot the messenger pal
