Reply To: PLAYER RATING SCUNNY V HARROGATE

[bartonscorpion]

I agree with lots of the comments, but I am afeaid I cannot give above a 6 for Howard, for a long term experienced player, why the hell is he constantly rooted to his goal line, it must be a nihhtmare for the defence when they get no assistance in defending whilst the keeper just dtands on his line, and the first goal was his fault when beaten at the near post with an angled shot past him. Apart from this comment it was great to see the team sort of playing 4-4-2 like all supporters have been asking all season, just one comment, Eisa had a really cracking gaME APART FROM HIS TEN CORNERS NONE OF ANY BEAT THEIR FIRST MAN, WHY KICK THEM ALONG THE GROUND MAKING IT SO EASY TO CLEAR, THE MANAGER SHOULD HAVE GOT WORD THROUGH TO ORDER THAT gI;;IEAD SHOULD BE TAKING THEM.

HOWARD–6—Did not have hardly anything to do but still let in 2 goals, rooted to his line again!!!
CLARKE–7–Nice to see him back, experience beats raw youth, som3 good through balls.
McGAHEY—8—Good soliddefence.
ONARIASE–8—Same as his partner, a very good pairing..
SPENCE–8–Worked throughout and never stopped working for the team.
BEESTIN–8–Another good mark and was involved in everything.
O’MALLEY—8–Good performance from him, good support for Eisa.
GILLIEAD—9—Really cracking game by him, he is certainly my MOM.
McATEE–8—–His best game this season, some good runs and passes, worked hard.
LOFT—7—Ran himself into the ground
EISA–8– cracking speed and skills, would be a 10 if his corners beat their first man, take this corner duty from him.

REF—9—Very good and was not involved like some spoilers, he let the game flow.

COX—8—He selected the best team available to him, he played 4-4-2 instead of those silly stupid systems he so likes. The manager should have his goalkeeping coach and keeper into his office and tell them to sort out why the keeper stays rooted to the line for any cross ball etc, and then give Eisa a call and inform him and show him film footage of his ten rubbish corners from this game, and inform the captain that Gilliead shou;d take corners, because we are not gaining anything from any of the present balls just being passed along the ground, this team along with big Kevin when fit is our best eleven. The manager should base his selection on this.

Well done guys, a very welcolm showing from a team that was full of energy, and they showed how poor Harrogate are by attacking them and not playing to combat any strenghts of theirs, thats what we should do every game,let them worry about Scunthorpe.
