If that was a Boxing match it'd be all over once it came to the Judge's scores.
Annoying that only 1 in 6 of our shots were on target - good we're speculating or actually are we just making it easy for the opposition?

Fotmob is cocked up.
It has Ekpiteta in the starting line up and no sign of Kaikai, which I could understand at HT, but he did alright second half.

Yates only had 18 touches which is a poor reflection on his team mates not himself.
 
Stats are an odd thing. I'd love to know how Kaikai's first half shot that was cleared off the line by a defender doesn't count as a shot. Stats say we had one, which was down as Ward's effort from distance.

Think it goes as a blocked shot

Looking at those stats I'd be embarrassed if I was Sheridan saying there was nothing between the two teams.
Yates was my MOTM and would agree with Gretarrson and Gabriel's ratings also thought Ward and Kaikai had decent games. Garbutt and Dougall were the two who disappointed me although interesting Kenny had as many touches as he did.

Interesting Garbutt on 8.4 - can't say he stood out for me - Ballard way ahead in terms of contribution and for the amount of touches he had you'd have thought Ward would be in the Top 3. Do they publish all the ratings @Insider or just the Top 3?

Gretarsson was in the Football league Paper team of the day.

All the players are rated on the FotMob app.
Ballard had 65 touches, 60 passes with 70% success. Rating 6.9
Ward had 71 touches, 61 passes with 79% success. Rating 8.2.
 
Turton, Thornily and Ballard probably all feel they could have done better for the goal we did concede. I have to say how good all 3 were considering the players they were up against. I counted 4 occasions were their strikers led with an elbow or an arm yet they didn't back down from a single challenge. Yates, Kaikai and Embleton will rightly get kudos for their goals and attack play but that win was setup by pretty much nullifying their strengths and for that our defenders and holding midfielders deserve just as much credit. Yet another complete TEAM performance, it is a very welcome habit we seem to have picked up.

Ward 7.9. MOM

Yates 7.7
Pool player with the most touches was Turton with 81.
We played down the right a lot more today and if I'm being critical Turts isn't as effective as Garbs who only had 63 touches.
 
From last week at Oxford (from t'other forum)
Show a bit of a change but maybe not quite what I expected. Long balls down, but 2 big strikers. Crosses up but accuracy still poor. Didn't have a player in the top 3 passers.
As usual opposition team in brackets.

So for me key stats: 118 more passes and an increased accuracy from 63% to 73 %.
But 2 goals scored and only 1 conceded.
Makes absolutely no difference whatsoever the stats it’s about taking yer chances !

Pool player with the most touches was Ballard with 97, Gretarrson and Ward both had 81.

At the other end of the scale Yates had only 23 touches and Simms 34.
110 long balls is the most we've hit all season.

Midfield were largely ineffective and I don't know when we've suddenly started playing head tennis which we're pretty awful at!

I wish Critchley read this thread and the very common themes!
This has been a great thread all season and has reflected when we've got it right and when we've got it horribly wrong. When your defenders have the most touches in a game, you know there's a problem.
