Think the board will be secretly pleased?but if there is a blame it’s got to be the people responsible for the January window imo but it was a long shot. The good news is that we have enough points on the board and are safe. Still there are plenty of questions to be asked as to what will happen next season. Unfortunately I think the playoffs are now out of reach as most suspected and the rest of the season will just limp to an end.

Galbraith - 6. Left winger was a handful, understandably struggled defensively. Decent in possession as ever.

James - 6. Standard.

Beckles 6. Up against a proper lump, did ok.

Cooper 6. Same as becks. Not sure what he did to get himself booked and their bloke sent off.

Brown 6. Good to have him back.

El Miz 7. First one of several players that looked tired. Still a class above anyone else on the pitch. His ball retention and recoveries are just ridiculous.

Moncs 5. Looked tired.


O’Neil - 6. Tired.

Forde 6 Tired.

Ruel 6 Tired. Not involved when moved out wide left.

Subs

Edwards 4. He’s just not at this level. Looks like a little boy lost. Not sure how many minutes he’s had but he’s not looked anywhere near scoring. Think he had a rebound shot that he fluffed, his first ‘chance’ at all.


Hunt 6. Typical Hunt.

Sanders 7 MOTM. Great energy. Will start next game.

Dan Adjei II - 6. I know he’s only 18 but he’s the one I’d persevere with.

The ref - where do you even begin? Awful showing.

Rovers - horrible team. Big horrible lumps at the back, fat horrible lump up top, no midfield, one decent winger who caused us trouble first half. Good practice for the Stevenage game coming up.

Sotiriou 4 non existent

Edwards 5 languid and not good enough on the ball to compensate

What’s the story with that fat geezer they had up front? I looked him up and he was actually a very good Championship level striker between 2013-2016, banging in between 15 & 20 goals a season, then suddenly he just dropped off.

I’m convinced he didn’t actually touch the ball yesterday for their goal. It went straight in don’t it?

We know we need to sign a #1 in summer as all signs point at Brynn not coming back so that and 2 strikers has to be sorted as priority. Richie's suggested changes to the process need to be adhered to as it failed him in January and that can't be repeated.

Must be a case for Sanders to be starting games, he looked decent when he came on.
I would also like to see Galbraith start in one of the attacking midfield roles as I think he’s a bit wasted at RB

Can’t give out 5s when we dominated play like that.

Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 7:34 pm Rovers didn’t even make 1 clear cut chance - are you giving their players 4s?

Edwards higher than Ruel

I still don't understand the logic of Edwards in front of Pegram or even Koussi-Smith better to get OUR youngsters some game time than somebody else's. Edwards isn't ready for League One football not had any impact in games so far.
