Ratings v Exeter (A)

[Super_Danny_Allsopp]

A big team performance and deserved 3 points.

Collin - 7.5 - Didn't do a thing wrong really, made some important saves but nothing spectacular needed. Comfortable.
Hunt - 7 - So much experience and you can see it, struggles against pace late on but his brain and calmness helps him immensely.
Duffy - 7.5 - Didn't notice him a great deal, so must have played well as a CB. Dealt with strong physical presence of Reid well.
Hewitt - 7.5 - See Duffy
Dickinson - 5.5 - I might be being a tad harsh, but his use of the ball in possession is shocking. Easily our worst technical player, was OK defensively and made a couple of half decent runs. 

Walker - 6.5 - Did the nitty gritty work with a couple of decent balls in a position that is not his own. Almost caught out of position a couple of times.
Yates - 7 - Usual battling performance. Couple of bad passes.
Milsom - 8 - Battling performance with a bit more quality on the ball than Yates. Kept us ticking over and seemed to halve another second on the ball than anyone else on the pitch.
Hawkridge - 6.5 - Some decent touches and runs, sloppy in possession at times. Worked hard as always.

Stead - 7 - Excellent in the first 20 and looked very dangerous, some neat touches and some not so...
Alessandra - 7.5 - Odd to see him winning so many hoof-balls up to him, not sure if that was all him or Exeter's sloppy defence played a part. Well taken goal in the 1st/2nd minute, and a constant pain for Exeter.

Subs:

Grant - 7.5 - Didn't do a great deal, which sounds odd as he scored two goals, but got in the right positions and finished well. A menace.
Forte - 7 - Brilliant assist for the winner, pace is a menace and has an impact from the bench or when starting... options...
Smith - N/A


Ref - 7 - Thought he was pretty decent tonight.

I can't fault the rating listed above by @Super_Danny_Allsopp, they are spot on.

[Countyman]

I would personally start them all off at 7.

Yates, Grant and Stead deserve solid 9's for me. They worked their socks off!

Interesting but focusing on Exeter's players

I would say Troy Brown, Holmes and the sub Edwards would be worthy of consideration, if they ever became available

Based on a mean of 5

Collin 7 Looking a whole different keeper... Reassurance but was as a whole well protected by the defence

Hunt 6 When one stands back, you can see he reads the game so well. Does the simple things right though had an initial torrid period when Edwards was introduced by Exeter. Hunt nearly gave away a penalty in the first half, thought it was 75/25 chance in being given, in Exeter's favour.

Duffy 6.5 Talked his way through the game well and limited Reid's effectiveness

Hewitt 6.5 A much improved player under Nolan, slotted in well and now one wonders if Hollis has any future at Notts?

Dicko 5.5 Wasted good positional play going forward on a couple of occasions. Only once caught out defensively

Walker 6.5 Tidy but needs to make his mark in the game.

Yates 6.5 Battled well, distribution not up to his usual standard at times

Milsom 7 Cool head, knows what to do to keep the midfield ticking over

Hawkridge 6.5 always gives 100 per cent, substitution obviously with a view to Mansfield

Stead 6.5 Looks better when not partnering Shola.

Alessandra 6.5 Live wire and alert to converting the chance so early on.

Subs

Grant 8 Ability to finish head and shoulders above everyone else. Not only his finishing but movement too. We could have a problem if the F word ever recall him

Forte 7.5 Offers far more options with his movement
