I do not see how people can say ‘had an average game’ and then give a 5 which represents a notch below average. A fair few have done this over recent games.
People are too cavalier with their marks – there is far too much gut reaction.
Most marks will be between 5 and 7 in any game. Below par, average, above average.
If everyone gets a 5 – you’d lose any game – and often by quite a margin.
Take Hornshaw, last night – got a lot wrong you can justify a 4 but he was trying hard so can hardly go lower.
