All players based rating based on /10. 

Fitz - 0 - Had nothing and I mean nothing to do all game apart from have an attempt at saving three or four chances. First goal was not his fault that is fine. But the other two watching him attempt a dive is painful. He's just lazy and it looks like he's lost all confidence in his own ability. Shocking!

Hawkridge - 7 - After being out for a while I thought he had a solid game and would have given him MOTM if he had played more minutes. Good effort from him. Really valued his effort today.

Hewitt - 5 - Bang average performance. A standard performance from what you would expect from him. Few sloppy errors but that's Hewitt for you.

Brisely - 5 - Same as Hewitt. Improved from recent weeks. 

Jones - 4 - Good runs but sloppy deliveries and attempted one cross in the first half without even looking up. Lacking confidence again and it shows in his bang average performances at LB. Red card was deserved.

Boldewjin - 4 - Isolated and easily marked by the FGR defender, not his best performance and he needs to start creating more chances otherwise fans will start to get on his back. A day to forget from him. 

Vaughan - 7 - MOTM for me, happy with his performance and worked hard all game. For a man of 35 to play as many minutes as he is doing for the club, it is a credit to have him here and putting the performances in. Played a good captain today too as i spotted him a few times going to players and offering advice and support. Credit. Only bad thing to say about him is I think he could be more forward with his passes sometimes.

Milsom - 7 - He could fill the hole quite well. Played well and received the ball well with a good first touch. Needs to be quicker though and be more decisive with his actions and passes. More commitment needed from him. But happy to have him back and played convincingly today.

Alessandra - 5 - Missing really and didn't notice anything from him today. Hope he gets more of a chance but think Thomas would've been better suited today to exploit FGR's weaknesses. 

Dennis - 2 - Missing and drifted into play CM a few times. Never really did much running and such a shame that he picked up a knock. Him and Hemmings seem to struggle to understand each others game.

Hemmings - 7 - Effort was there and I think he really cares but just isn't getting the service required to be able to do his job effectively. Hope he can become the main striker in the team and become a real leader of men. Think he will thrive under Kewell.

Subs:

Stead - 7 - Good goal and is turning in to a really good impact sub. Got a lot of time for Stead and hope he isn't written off by Kewell because of his age.

Kellett - 7 - Good effort and carried the ball forward well. Should start next game for me as he offers so much more than the likes of Husin and Jones.

Husin - 3 - Diabolic deliveries and when confidence was building he killed it off with his inability to put in a good delivery. Think he had 3 corners and 1 free kick all of which was useless. Bench player at best. 

 

Ross Fitzsimons look awkward throughout the game, I would rate him a 3/10. His positioning wasn't very good but the defence didn't protect him either.

Elliot Hewitt and Shaun Brisley I felt did okay. I agree with Sam's ratings.

Dan Jones wasn't good at the back and wasteful going forward, I would give him a 3/10.

Terry Hawkridge did well, he linked in well and fell victim to a lack of support. I would give him a 6/10.

David Vaughan did very well, he tried to lift the spirits after each goal conceded and he played calm under pressure. I would give him a 7/10 easily.

Enzio Boldewjin and Lewis Alessandra both disappointed, they did well on the ball but ran themselves into silly areas and often lost the ball when an easy pass was actually on. Both would earn no higher than a 4/10 from me.

Rob Milsom played very well, he would get a 6/10 too.

Kane Hemmings would earn a 5/10 purely based on his effort, but he did little elsewhere.

Kristian Dennis tried to link the front and back, he seemed to drop back to help with the defending but I would give him a 4/10.

I thought all the subs did superbly well, Noor Husin did waste set pieces but by then the pressure was on and nobody made the most of dead balls. His direct approach could have worked if Notts could only learn to move into space. Jon Stead for me was the Man of the Match he gave Notts hope up front.

based on my mean of 5

Fitzsimons 3.5 (How can  @samwatto2008be serious to give him 0? ) Exposed by incompetent defence, where FGR could have been 3 up before they eventually scored.  One shot through his body but being that exposed..it wasnt just down to him

Hawkridge 4 You are already seeing a different game to me @samwatto2008 .. Not a full back but did work hard, but nothing in an offensive sense

Hewitt 2 at thats being kind...countless passes astray, some of which cost goals. Its not acceptable at this level

Brisley 3.5 experienced head but failed to win crucial headers

Jones 3 Genuinely went for the ball, without malice, but 2 feet above ground, in the rules is a red card. Not looking up for that cross in the first half was criminal

Boldewijn 4 Marked out of the game, as being our only real threat. Easily gets disinterested when its not going our way

Vaughan 4.5 Championship player? Got involved more today but to what effect? Needs some driving runs, but has the engine gone?

Milsom 4 Steady but not brilliant. Hard to give him a higher mark as he seemed lost as to what to do when in possession

Alessandra 4 Anonymous in the 2nd, not bringing any real effectiveness to the team

Dennis 2 £100k, you are having a laugh...makes runs but still our midfield cant find him

Hemmings 3 Agana in disguise, no goal threat at all

Subs

Stead 5 some steel and a goal

Kellett 6 covered some ground, and was a live wire...rest of teams battery was already drained

Husin 4 Terrible dead ball deliveries. expected much more quality

He was awful today. Fed up of fans backing his corner he is a bottom conference keeper at best. He could not catch a cold. His inability to kick a ball to feet, deliver a good pass, put balls into danger areas, come and collect crosses, be decisive the list is endless. As per my statement above 0/10 for today. First goal was not his fault but the other two pfftt I've seen my grandma move quicker. Alarm bells were ringing when he became number 1. He is nowhere near good enough for league football yet. Not the same player he was last year and things off the pitch have contributed to that as I know for a complete fact. Brisley and Hewitt were ok today. He let the team down big style.

@samwatto2008I am sorry Sam, you are doing Fitz a disservice..and if you think Brisley and Hewitt were "OK"... you were watching a completely different match

I think even at 3.5 your being kind.

He was very poor again today, late with decisions and he held back from going for the ball at times. His distribution was shocking, just lump the ball aimlessly and without thought. It was like he wanted to get it away but it would more times than not just come straight back. I think rating him a 2 would be generous because he's a much bigger issue than some fans think.

The players around him don't make smart runs or good decisions, he was a calm influence in the midfield and I would like to see him with Noor Husin a little more. If Milsom can act as some sort of defender/midfielder I think he could be the player who breaks things up.

Probably similar to what I would give tbh.  Not sure how others can give players 7s after watching that. We were terrible!

Hopefully the attack line will liven up when the commitment comes back and they finally get some service. I do believe Dennis and Hemings will come good when we eventually pull out of this hole, but at the minute, they look as bad as the rest.

i cant be bothered to rate the players because i saw little fight from most of the players.

milsom and vaughan seemed the only players who tried.

I don't feel I can add anything that hasn't been mentioned already.

Most of the members seem spot on with their views and it would relate to how I would rate the players performances. I might mix between ratings though.

I would say a very fair scor for each player would like to say they played better but they didn’t so yeah a very responsible score and well said.

I based my opinion on the amount of effort that was given by certain players. Hemmings received a 7 because watching his reactions and ideas. He was always saying he wanted the ball to his feet. He was trying to get more creative and for me that deserves a higher rating because it was more than any other player was doing to be honest with you.  

We were on a hiding to nothing with the team selection really. I know 20:20 hindsight is a wonderful thing but Hewitt is not a defender Bird surely must have been the better option in defence and Jones is so out of form it’s untrue! The goalkeeper just isn’t up to the job and Crossley must know that but we have no alternative. I thought Hawkridge did well in an unfamiliar position, Brisley was Brisley, better than the last game but not right at all. Vaughan was doing his best to be the skipper (which we haven’t seen too often with Duffy) but where are the killer passes to open up defences? The forwards are starved of service an have to come too deep to be effective; Hemmings did well and Dennis is a centre forward but he was played out of position. Boldewijn just hasn’t settled, he looks like a stranger at the party, hopefully Harry will work some magic on him. Milsom did really well to say he only had one training session since coming back. Alessandra ran a lot but couldn’t find the key to their defence. Husin, shame about the dead ball crosses when we were looking like equalising.

the subs were a breath of fresh air. I have said before that Kellett will be the unexpected stand out player this season if he’s given the chance and as for Stead, he really showed that he cares for this club when he came on.

I'd give Fitzsimons a 2 or 3/10.

The rest I agree with Jake.
