Not seen the highlights yet, thought it was Davies initially but if it was Thomas then change Davies 5 to a 6 and Thomas to a 5.We had 10 shots on target to their 3 and it was Thomas with the sliced clearance not Davies
I get a light brown/blonde haired player (who played the entire night on the right wing) confused with a light brown/blonde haired player (who played left sided CH). Without the use of a replay, in quick time our right winger is in the position on the field that Davies should be. In quick time, without a replay, a blondish player on the left corner of the 6 yard box slices the ball. My initial thought is 'that must be our right winger out of position'.Pastythegreat is the sort of person who falls into a bucket of tits ... and comes up sucking his thumbs.
Can't help but feel there's a lot of over rated ratings on here because of a scoreline that, quite clearly, flattered us.
Don't think any player (maybe JCH aside) from last night that deserves more than a 7. Especially from a defending point of view. I'm happy we scored 4 and got the win but Bradford were poor. And we still allowed them to put the ball in the net 3 times with ease. Every clearance from defence was half cleared or scuffed or sliced. It was comical at times.
Their 1st goal, any one of 3 unmarked players lining up along the 6 yard box could of headed that home.
2nd goal, that headed clearance from Kelly summed up how badly our defence had been at clearing our lines all night.
And goal 3. Why did their player feel the need to hand ball it. If he'd of just left it, that sliced clearance from Davies was probably on its way into the back of the net on its own accord.
To get carried away after putting 4 past a struggling team who put 3 past us with our help is madness.
I'm happy we got the win but we looked dreadful so 6s all around except 7 for JCH and Kelly and Davies both 5s.

You'd make a good ref then.

I'm glad you recognise the importance of someone like Thomas to the team. I've seen a lot of heavy criticism on here and it was similar to that aimed at Ryan Kent and Jordan Murphy in days gone by. The lad is not the complete article but he draws a lot of attention from the opposition and if he can just check back at times and use the ball better he will have created a lot of space for colleagues.7 means played well without any real problems
Burge 7
Sterling 7
Davies 6 - some silly free kicks given away
Hyam 7
Brown 7 - clearly getting fitter but not so good late on
Sterling 7 - improving, nearly scored and superb run and cross nearly leading to a goal early in the second
Doyle 7 - some poor free kicks but otherwise good
Bayliss 8 - playing a more disciplined game but so comfortable on the ball, goal Notts County esque
Thomas 7 - his dribbling and ball control is superb, just needs that end product but he's so important to us
Hiwula 8 - worked hard but buried a brilliant breakaway goal
JCH 8 - doing a great job leading the line, irreplaceable at the minute imo
Chaplin 7 - brilliant goal and starting to work with JCH
Subs
Kelly 7 - won numerous second balls and calmed us
Jones 7 - so exciting to see him back
Shipley 7 - necessary solidity

Sorry about the delay in responding. I was just asking if people, many of whom had pointed it out previously, felt that he had stopped falling over/diving as much as he had been doing. Of course, if he wins free-kicks I'd be happy, but more often than not he wasn't (past tense). From what I've read on here (as I said, I'm an irregular attender, so therefore in some minds should not be allowed an opinion.....), there haven't been many comments recently about it, and he is causing opposition defences more problems in the right ways. Also, as I pointed out, he is playing a really important role defensively at opposition corners.Why be down on someone that has the ability to buy free kicks and simultaneously wind up defenders. Valued assets.. and aren't you glad he is doing it for us rather than against
I wrote that about Baylis in match thread. Just looked uninterested. I appreciate nicks comments about sitting back but just didn’t seem with it imoYou guys were at a different game to me
Thought Baylis was not effective first half. Looked completely out of touch and tired. Improved after half time with well taken goal. Was his first forward movement when he scored.
Hiwalu was disappointing. Good goal but keeper should have saved it.
Great 4 wins on the bounce and a happy Skyblue but Bradford were poor, so let's not get carried away.
Let's beat Donny and maybe start dreaming.
Now lets not start all that again!You'd make a good ref then pasty.
Didn't Grendel get slated for saying exactly the same thing?I thought Biamou's injury could be a blessing in disguise at the time. It forced Robins hand into playing JCH to lead the line. I think hes been excellent a few times since hes been back in the team... Even though he missed two sitters today!
Yes, but now we are playing a settled team and that has given the new players the time needed to settle in and understand how MR wants the team to play. Not everyone blamed the players, many of the criticisms were about the amount of players we used in the first few games IIRC.Wow! All these players that were all so bad a few weeks ago are now all so good.
We've gone from they're all terrible signings and Robins' clock is ticking, to 'can we now get promoted this season?'
Ha! Football fans.
It was actually a pretty poor finish from Hiwula, straight at the keeper and got lucky that it went under him and took a deflection that put it in the corner. But pleased for him and thought he played well on the left even without the goal.
I think he ran 3/4 of the pitch - he starts off back near the penalty area then loops round. He deserved his luck. Even so a jink to the right and he'd have had a open goal.Yer it was straight at the keeper but it was hard and low and luckily snuck in the corner. I think because he had to run half the pitch with defenders chasing him probably made for the poor direction but it went in.
Sometimes the best way to finish those is closer to the keeper, harder for them to get down to them , try and place it out wide and you give the keepe more chance to get across to itIt was actually a pretty poor finish from Hiwula, straight at the keeper and got lucky that it went under him and took a deflection that put it in the corner.

How about JCH only 3 lettersNa, Hyam for me as it’s only 4 letters. Don’t want to put too much into the Sisu coffers.....
