Ratings Brentford v Notts

[Piethagoram 𝕏 @piethagoram]

Fitzsimons 7 A second clean sheet, some good saves. Just one missed cross but overall, a keeper that gives an impression that he is hard to beat

Tootle 6.5 Defensively positioning excellent

Duffy 6.5 Steady. Took a professional booking for the team

Brisley 7 Reads the game well

Jones 7 Gives momentum for offensive work

Yates 6.5 a more subdued performance in front of a watching Graham Alexander

Hewitt 6 all the energy as usual, just wished he had a more controlled pass at times

Hawkridge 5.5 Caught a few times being too slow in decision making. Makes up for in terms of effort.

Grant 6 Could have killed the game but keeper made a good save. Again drifts in and out of the game

Alessandra 5.5 Losing possesion too often

Stead 7 Had a good chance in first 3 minutes but made up for it for an exquisite finish in the second

 

Subs

Noble 6 a yellow card welcome back but was good to see him back

Smith 6 "The General" looking so much fitter

Walker 6

sometimes, when one writes the ratings, it is from an initial gut feeling. fresh from the game. After posting, this can change say by watching the Saturday night highlight shows, when maybe you see something else in closeup, not apparent to you when watching the game..and then come Sunday, after deeper thought, maybe my opinion changes again.

What I will say following Saturday's game, te sum of the individual parts exceeded an average across the individual ratings...as a team, we were close to 9 out of 10. Nolan's ability to set up a team is a reminder of Big Sam's days. COYP!!!
