Tonight's game

Just thought i'd give my views on tonights game. It was rather scrappy from start to finish and neither team had much up top as it set out as a game played very much in the middle of the park. The defence looked pretty solid in the first half and from what i heard the communication between the back four and the trialist keeper was pretty good. They didn't create much but the two clear chances they did, they finished quite well.
Here are my ratings for our players:
Simon Evans, 6.5: Didn't have much to do but as stated i though he communicated well with the back four. He's kicking was really good imo up until the last 20 mins or so when a few went straight off for throw-ins.
Ryan Leonard, 6: Looked alright, but i feel he was beaten too easily for the first goal.
Aynsley McDonald, 6.5: Looked assured and dealt with most things, got forward and put some decent balls in a few times aswel.
Ollie Thorne, 7: Won everything in the air, particularly in the first half. As captain i felt he's talking with the rest of the team was good and encouraged other players.
Luke Prosser, 7: Pretty much the same as above, communicated well with the team and won most aerial balls.
Lewwis Spence, 6: Showed some good touches and got some shots away which many players didn't, but played a few too many stray balls imo.
Aaron King: Can't really comment as he didn't get too involved in the short time he was on the pitch.
Joe Keehan, 6.5: Looked powerful and decent on the ball.
Liam Read, 6: Did alright but not too involved.
Jake Wooley, 6.5: Had some decent touches and made some good runs, final ball lacking at times though.
Michael Gash, 6.5: Won almost everything in the air in the first half but seemed to fade in the second, however he played some good football with his back to goal and he got some shots away towards the end although nothing too troubling for turley.
Subs
Morgan Phillips, 6: Didn't have much to do as he was brought on towards the end.
Lewis Wilson: This lad impressed me in the brief time he was on the pitch, he showed some exellent skill and touches and looked all round as a good prospect.
Jerry Nash: Comfortable on the ball, played some nice simple passes but wasn't overly involved.
Overall, i feel we played alright and it definately wasn't a game that merited hem winning 2-0
