Watson -9- best performance I’ve seen him have. 2 good saves and one great save. Only one dodgy moment which dropped it from a 10 but more of this please.

Hornshaw -5- he isn’t a full back but he’s young and learning and he’s not being preferred over a proper FB we don’t have another option atm. He’s doing his best.

Cordner -7.5-quality again. Dominant but looked to be struggling at the end hopefully not hurt.

Bedeau -6.5- defended well enough but sloppy again a couple of times including a slip which could have been very costly.

O’Malley -7- looks a real decent prospect. Defends well and bravely and not afraid to get forward.

Spence -7.5- oh how we’ve missed a player like this. Just gets in the way and doesn’t let people play.

Vincent -6- decent but unspectacular.

Gillead -8.5- see what happens when you play him in his position Mr Cox. Lesson learned hopefully. Superb pass for the goal.

Hippolyte -5.5- works hard and certainly defends better than Eisa which is presumably why he’s being preferred atm. Not a good performance but mostly decent set piece delivery.

Hallam -8- great to see him back looked like he might link up well with Loft. Actually looked to move past him. Should have finished the game off when Beestin put him through

Loft -7- 6 in the first half 8 in the second. Couple of poor final decisions/balls which is apparently what Lillis is working on so hopefully will improve. Up against 2 big strong cbs on his own and they will certainly know they’ve been in a game.

Onarise -7.5- looks good. Powerful and won everything thrown his way which was a lot more than we should have allowed.

Beestin -6- not sure why he went behind Spence but put himself about and sent a very good ball in for Hallam.

Thought the ref was ok, picky but nothing really incorrect but Beestin unlucky to get booked.

Tactics wise 442/4411 was nice to see first half but quickly reverted to 3 at the back and sitting deep in the 2nd half. Needs to change.
