Ratings Notts v Wrexham

[Piethagoram 𝕏 @piethagoram]

Mean of 5

Slocombe 6

Rawlinson 6 First touches did not convey confidence. Did an assured job....Toots sidelined?

Graham 6 Provides a bit of pace in central defence

Turner 6 Real solid centre half...

McCrory 5 Defensive yes but not strong enough to beat his man when going forward. Always took the safety first option, which maybe not a bad thing at this stage

Rose 7.5 MoTM Much stronger first half than second...A Neal Bishop type performance

Doyle 5.5 Unfussy energetic but nothing in an offensive sense

Booty 7 Delightful ball in for Dennis. Provided some really good passes but need to be more street wise when too soft in build up of Wrexham goal

Enzio 6.5 Provided some good glimses but did drift in the second half

Dennis 7.5 Great header for the goal, showed good movement but needs to feed off an old style #9

Thomas 6 Wasted chances which you would have expected to be more clinical

Subs

Osborne 6 Needs more matches to get confident that he can beat his man

JOB 6.5 great layback to set up Tyson

Tyson 5 Golden chance missed.... just needed to hit the target

It's not because I can't be bothered, I honestly cannot fault the ratings given by @Piethagoram.

The team played well as a unit, nobody dipped under 5 for me. I think Tyson could have been a 6, yet I feel balancing everything 5 is fairer.  The thing about Thomas, he runs with such pace that it would be naturally difficult for him to slow down his feet. At my age, I relate to this as my knees have gone and I can't move them as quick as I once could but you could see the effort.

He would be a different player with a few goals under his belt.

Sam Slocambe deserves some praise IMO, he was solid and is a core reason we aren't conceding too many goals.

Wrexham had some good chances, their goal nobody could have stopped and I feel the performance warrants some positivity because its been a long time since I have enjoyed a game this much.

Slocombe - 6 - Didn't Really have too much to do only 1 shot on target which ended up going in but commanded his area very well 

Rawlinson - 6 - Played very well despite being played out of position. Made a couple of mistakes but overall was solid

Graham - 6 - Did very well sweeping up behind Turner and did the basics right

Turner - 5 - Other than winning headers looked very clumsy

McCrory - 7 - Did well going forward as well as doing his job defensively. Lack of communication sometimes with other plays lead to him making a couple of mistakes

Rose - 8.5 - Was absolutely solid I'm the middle of the pitch a real playmaker today. Everything going through the middle went through him. MOTM in my opinion but very close with Dennis 

Doyle - 5 - Looked very lackluster despite getting stuck in every now and then didn't really do much 

Booty - 8 - Played very well out wide got into brilliant shooting positions and the assist that got us the goal was a brilliant ball into the box

Enzio - 7 - Played well first half pretty much missing in the second 

Dennis - 8 - Did very well to score from the angle he scored from. Brilliant movement just needs time to bond with Thomas 

Thomas - 6 - Despite getting in the right place at the right time could not manage to find the back of the net which is what is needed from a striker 

Subs

Osborne - 6 - Didn't really get much of the ball but when he did drove very well down the wing and got into some good positions

O'Brien - 6 - Very energetic when he came on despite playing on the wing and not in the middle.

Tyson - 5 - Missed too many golden opportunities

Slocombe 6 - Nobody can fault him, he gives a good presence.

Rawlinson 5 - I thought he did okay, nothing special but just an average performance.

Graham 6.5 - Good battling performance, dealt with Wrexham well.

Turner 6 - He did just fine for me but he doesn't look 100% fit.

McCrory 6.5 - Good going forward, some excellent crosses and defends bravely.

Rose 9 - The engine and player who worked hard to hold the ball up, I felt he played some great balls.

Doyle 4 - Roamed and tried to do his thing, too many backward passes and stay balls out for my liking. He killed off quite a few good counter attacks by not being a forward thinking player.

Booty 7 - Excellent, looks calm on the ball and uses it well.

Enzio 6.5 - He needs to try to block the ball if he can't defend, excellent going forward but unmotivated at the back.

Dennis 7.5 - He worked well, not much else to say apart from what a well timed run for his goal.

Thomas 6 - Worked hard, tried to create chances and showed some great speed.

Subs

Osborne 6 - He didn't have long but did well with what time he had.

O'Brien 5 - Looks unfit, went forward okay but weaker in defence I felt.

Tyson 5 - He held the play, linked with Thomas but was mostly invisible I felt.
