not a bad performance after a poor hesitant start,is mccourt a complete idiot,that missed tackle was a disgrace
For what it's worth I thought we took whatever they'd got to throw at us in the first 20 minutes, or so, as they knew if they scored first our crowd would turn and any confidence we had would be shattered. Even then, Dennis should have done better with the chance Sinnott played him in on. We had to earn the right to play the way we did in the last 20 minutes of the half when we put them to the sword.
The second half was more about making sure we didn't throw the win away as it was increasing our lead. As such, quite a professional performance mixed with phases of sloppy passing which, logically, should be reduced as confidence builds and the team gels.
Lee - organised and fielded very well
Barry - looked better at RB than RWB
Hird - had a spell of sloppy passing and gave away a few unnecessary fouls but anticipation was quite good
Evatt - solid but missed their best chance in the first half
Wiseman - looked better at LB and an improvement on his Grimsby performance
Weir - did the unspectacular stuff well
Reed - worked hard but a number of his defence splitting passes didn't
Sinnott - had a big say in the first half creating 2 excellent chances for Dennis and scoring himself but seemed to run out of steam after 70 minutes
Flores - shaky start but once moved inside started to influence the game until he tired
Dennis - worked hard and another day might have scored more than one
O'Grady - some excellent hold up play, gives our defenders options, and as the team gels can see him gaining a fair few assists
It will be interesting to see what other business we do before the end of the month - for me, I think we need a proper LB and cover for Evatt.
