Player ratings vs Halifax

[ARLukomski 𝕏 ARLukomski Instagram declanweliczko_arlki]

Fitzsimons 7 - Quick distribution and good hands. Good to see him have a good game

Brindley 6 - Created a good chance in the first half when he exploited the available space and put a decent ball in. Should do it more but doesn't

Rawlinson 8 - Comfortable on the ball and bought it out of defence. Real shout for player of the season so far

Lacey 8 - Intelligent and good with the ball at his feet. Gave Ross an option to play out from the back all the time

McCrory 6 - Defensively still questionable and not much going forward but put in a tackle on the odd occasion 

Shields 6 - Ran his guts out and played on despite a knock. Gave the Halifax full back a hard time 

Rose 8 - Wow. Mitch Rose or Frank Lampard? Exceptional volley and scored a penalty. Going forward he was brilliant and supported the attack excellently. That's the Mitch Rose we want

Doyle 7 - Didn't play too deep which really helped us going forward. Kind of played CM rather than CDM with Rose playing further forward. Glued it together nicely 

Boldewijn 7 - Teased Halifax and ran at his man. Got beyond his opposite man on occasions too. When told to play out wide the wingers are great. 

Wootton 9 - This guy is just too good for this level. Two more goals. Link up play brilliant again. Positioning good too. First priority in Jan is signing him permanently. It takes all priority over everything else. Get this man in

Thomas 7 - Intelligent runs. Spurned a few chances but him and Wootton work really well together

 

Subs

Dennis 6 - Put himself about and almost scored a world class curler 

Crawford 6 - Shored up the midfield as we saw out the game. Decent passing 

Kelly-Evans 6 - Got stuck in and brought it forward. Putting pressure on Brindley now

I'm disappointed to not see Sam Osborne feature, but it sounds like a good performance by the team.

I haven't been well, sleeping a lot more than normal - so I didn't listen to the radio or attend. Seeing the ratings have given me a better understanding as to how Notts did.

First half was slow and inept, second half we did everything that is required to win a football match and did it fast, with purpose, and incisively. If we can replicate anywhere near that second half from the off we will blow teams away at this level. Personally I'd like to see Osbourne on for shields and Dennis start for Thomas but you can't fault a 2-4 away win.

i have read comments which have highlighted that notts did much better in the second half, sounds like the intensity was right. well done to the players!

Fitzsimons 7 - He looked confident throughout the game, it was great to see him back.

Brindley 5.5 - Just average for me, nothing beyond that.

Rawlinson 7 - He did very well, commanded his position and worked well with Lacey.

Lacey 8.5 - Looks like a great CB in my eyes, will only get better.

McCrory 5 - Good going forward, poor at the back but he put in effort.

Shields 6 - He put a lot of effort in the game, chasing balls and looking eager to get stuck in. 

Rose 9 - MOTM performance for me, he looked fired up and did very well.

Doyle 6.5 - He did everything you would expect, a good performance. 

Boldewijn 7 - He looked like a different player when he got fired up. 

Wootton 8 - What a loan signing he's becoming, he looks confident with us and just works hard.

Thomas 7 - Good performance.

Got to admit I let out a groan when I saw the team sheet, but I'm glad we took the game to them in the second half and got the three points. Particularly liked what I heard about Lacey. Look forward to seeing the highlights when BT Sport let me.

Could also be an important three points - we're just two points behind Halifax now instead of a potential eight.
