Ratings -v- Cambridge

Post by Three of Diamonds »

Day - 7, made some good saves in the second half, kicking dodgy but if it goes out of play for a throw I DON'T CARE !
Osano - 4, better in the second half, awful again in the first
Corcoran - 4, some dreadful passing
Oshodi - 6, thought he did well for a youngster
Day - 6, reasonable
Porter - 6, signs of improvement, loved the look he gave Corcoran for the booking he took in the second half after a shyte pass from him
Mills - 7, nice work fella
Power - 6, I wasn't totally convinced he was actually on the pitch at times
Smith - 7, good workrate, top turn and finish (in the box where he should be)
Gash - 7, tries hard, no support
O'Connor - 6, faaaaaar too deep for a striker

Edinburgh - 7, apology in the programme for the incident on Saturday - well done, but this team needs some serious coaching to know how to play in this formation, the front 3 are too far apart

Day - 5 - Just doesn't fill me with confidence, and kicking poor.

Osano - 4 - Reluctance to pass, but a slight improvement on the horror show of Saturday.

Corcoran - 6 - Unconvinced with him at CB as the ball seems to fly anywhere when it hits him, but he won his tackles.

Oshodi - 6 - Tendancy to hold on to the ball a bit too long, but like him.

Day - 5 - Clumsy in possession, got forward too infrequently in my opinion.

Porter - 6 - Dogged performance, a bit like we're used to seeing from him.

Mills - 5 - First half he was awful, second half he started to play the ball on the deck and the whole team looked considerably better.

Power - 6 - Busy but perhaps somewhat less influential than he has been lately.

Smith - 7 - MOM - Worked tirelessly and got his reward. If we're creating chances you can guarantee Sam will score, if we're not, like the first half, he'll cut a forlorn figure.

Gash - 4 - Won diddley-poo in the air, which is unlike him. I'm concerned that when he plays we resort to long ball, when I believe he is capable on the floor.

O'Connor - 3 - Woeful. Too deep, and for the first half i'd even say he didn't look interested.

Would agree with most of those ratings although I thought Oshodi, Mills and Smith were a class apart from the rest of the team who looked pretty ordinary against a poor Cambridge team. We are not play off hopefuls on the basis of this performance.

I thought Mills had a good game. He was always available and tried to get the ball wide when possible.

Generally we lacked the nouse to break down the stubborn Cambridge defensive wall of 9 in the first half but were much improved in the second.

I don't agree with the criticism of O'Connor - the service to him in the first half was abysmal and he was much more involved in the second.

I also don't agree with o Connors criticism. He was stuck out wide in the first half with no service, well route one football but usless.
