A horrible day to play any football, but to shut out 2 teams in 2 weeks, with neither having a shot on target something has to give attacking wise.

Great 2 wins and a massive boost towards survival, and with bodies coming back slowly no reason why we cant pick up a few more points over Christmas and have a real go in the FA cup.

We will be last on MOTD, but who cares, we've got 3 more points.

Happy Christmas Clatets!

Edit - we wasn't actually last and when they said our game wasn't last so make of that what you will for the Everton v Arsenal game, I turned it off. So we were last on my tele

Another awful game

[LeadBelly]

Pope 7 Handling on crosses was excellent in the rain and wind, distribution a bit problematic 2nd half but conditions much to blame, otherwise didnt have any saves to make.
Bardsley 7 Played their key man Fraser very well (got quite a lot of help from Hendrick and then Lennon), not showing much going forward but at 34 you cant really risk getting isolated upfield and having to sprint back.
Tarkowski 8 Very solid in the air and some good interceptions, read the game well, distribution was fine- he didnt try anything too adventurous.
Mee 8 Pretty much as per Tarks
Taylor 8 Solid in defence and got forward a few times to make a pair with McNeil and pose a few problems for them down that side.
Hendrick 7 Supported his full back well and gave it plenty of energy without much in terms of creativity, did probably just what SD asked.
Cork 7 did well defensively and positionally no problems with distribution
Westwood 8 As per Cork but a point extra for assist. Corners weren't as effective as usual but wind couldnt have helped because of variability.
McNeil 6 Caused a few problems and they had to keep a careful watch, got a few decent crosses in but guilty of needlessly giving the ball away a few times allowing them to counter.
Barnes 7 Gave it everything, battled manfully - dished it out a bit and took a bit of stick. Gained a fair few free kicks though we didnt create anything decisive from any of them today.
Wood 6 Not quite as effective as Barnes but worked hard, faded away towards the end.

Lennon 7 Helped out in defence and offered a bit more going forward that Jeff (though "fresh legs" probably played a part in that). He certainly didnt hide & looked up for it. Good sub by SD. (As was JRod of course).

[careyclaret]

Pope 7. Really commanded his area well, distribution was somewhat poor
Bardsley 7. Very solid against one of their key men
Tarky 8. Mom. Read the game very well, superb in the air
Mee 8. Another strong performance
Taylor 7. Very solid
Westwood 7. Was immense in getting possession, silly card
Cork 7. Similar to Westwood minus the card
Hendrick 7. Several important interventions
McNeil 6. He was very tightly marked but he will have to get used to that
Wood 5. Received poor service but....
Barnes 5. Similar to Wood, a silly card


Rodriguez 7 . Took his goal really well
Lennon 7. His fresh legs made a difference

Pope 7 handled crosses very well no saves to make
Bardsley 7 old school
Tarks masterclass 9
Mee 7 great interception and solid
Taylor 7 good defensively and an outlet upfront
Hendrick 6 can’t fault his effort but zero creativity
Westwood 7 busy and involved
Cork 7 ran hard
McNeil 6 the odd nice bit of work with Taylor
Barnes 5 shambolic mess at times but won free kicks
Wood 6 put himself about 1st half

Jay 7 another quality goal

Lennon 6 Lively plus assist

Rodriguez 8 made a difference beyond his goal
Lennon 6 if he hadn’t bottled taking his marker on, we wouldn’t have scored

[the_fat_shearer]

Pope 7 - very good at claiming crosses (as usual) add taking pressure off the defence. Although conditions didn't help, kicking was poor

Beardsley 8 - did well to keep Fraser quiet. Tried to support on the wing when he could

Mee 8 - solid display

Tarks 8 - like Mee, solid. MOM

Taylor 7 - good display. Couple of crucial clearances.

Hendrick 5 - OK in parts, helped out defensively but parts of the game passed him by

Cork 6 - did OK without ever overly imposing himself

Westwood 6 - engine was going as always and the odd decent setpiece/cross

McNeill 5 - one or two crosses from tricky positions but lost the ball a couple of times in our own half, enabling them to attack; all part of the learning process

Barnes 5 - struggled a little, mainly due to the lack of service and support. Gap between midfield 4 and front 2 was way too big.

Wood 5 - see above

J Rod 7 - tireless running (which you would expect from a sub) and an extra point for taking the only chance of the game
