In the scheme of things a good point, it’s hard to criticise Brownhill for the misses, especially when he’s stuck away more difficult ones.

Trafford 6 thought he was clumsy tonight.
Roberts 7 really effective
Esteve 6 clumsy
Egan Riley 7 solid
Humphrey’s 6 thought he struggled tonight going forward.
Cullen 7
Brownhill 8 would have been a 9 if he could finish that golden chance
Laurent 5 thought he was really clumsy on the ball
Anthony 8 again did all the hard work on numerous occasions but final ball let him down
Flemming 5 I thought he was really poor and at times I thought he was a really frustrated figure.

Hi Newcastle93,

Just pointing out you didn't give Hannibal a rating.

From tv
Trafford 7 in spite of mistake and average kicking
Robert's 7 steady away
ER 8 he actually outshined Steve which takes some doing
Humphreys 8 his best game for us, against their tricky winger
Laurent 6 a bit lackadaisical
Cullen 7 his usual self
Brownhill 8 tremendous first half but quieter second half with that big miss
Anthony 8 mom, I have been critical of his lack of desire and involvement in the past. Yesterday was by far his best game for us, now he has to maintain that level.
Flemming 6 not a target man (repeat ad nausium)
Hannibal 6 back to giving the ball away far to much
Sarimiento 6 not the right time or choice to bring him on

A good point away against a strong attacking team. Slightly disappointed that Josh didn't stick one of his two big chances away. We still need a recognized striker.

Esteve 7

Trafford 7 weird moment
Roberts 6 poor compared to recent performances
Egan-Riley 8 still improving
Estève 7 decent
Humphreys 6 solid, but very poor going forward
Cullen 7 solid
Laurent 5 his worst game for a while
Anthony 8 that touch
Brownhill 6 that miss
Hannibal 5 dreadful, after 2 excellent performances
Flemming 4 how he stayed on so long is bizarre

Sarmiento 4 did more for them than us.

Trafford 6 lucky boy
Roberts 7 tidy display
Egan-Riley 8 kept their main threats fairly quiet
Estève 8 ditto
Humphreys 7 I think Doak got one cross in all night
Cullen 7 denied Boro any control in midfield
Laurent 6 got caught on the ball a bit too often
Anthony 8 biggest threat on the night, although his final ball and shooting weren't the best. Should have had an assist
Brownhill 7 the second one was a simple chance but at least he was there to miss it I suppose
Hannibal 6 didn't offer much offensively
Flemming 5 two steps back from the Watford display

Sarmiento 5 struggled to make any positive contribution

[The Shire Claret]

Trafford - 7 - What a save - Solid but had a shocker of a moment ... got away with it
Roberts - 7 - Tried to do everything he is asked getting forward and creative options - didnt pay off but he did his bit
CJ - 8 - Solid as usual
Esteve - 8 Solid as usual
Humphreys - 7 - Didn't quite preform as well tonight but effort was there
Anthony - 8 - deserved a goal
Cullen - 8 Worked his socks off as per usual
Brownhill - 8 - Deserved a goal again - Made the error but ran back like his lofe depended on it
Laurent - 7 - Poorer tonight for him but contributed enough
Hannibal - 6 - Was coming alive just as he was subbed
Flemming 6 - Needs to be more greedy and shoot - that pass to brownhill was a chance for him to score but he worked hard

Sarmiento - 5 - Didn't work out when he came on

January will be interesting as I feel we have the building blocks of a decent side, which could turn into a really good side if we bring in the right additions. Thought we looked a bit leggy in the last 30 which is understandable, the subs seemed to ruin our rhythm, just as we were getting a grip on the game. Hannibal was poor in the first half, but got brought off during his best spell of the game. Thought we could've tested their keeper a bit more, especially when the one time we put in a decent cross, he flapped at it.

Sarmiento 5

The Reading game on the 11th will be a good opportunity to give a few players some minutes, and get back up to speed. Specifically Foster and Sarmiento who are understandably rusty.

If you'd have said we'd get 4 points from Sheff utd and Boro away I'd have snapped your hand off, especially with the fact that we won the most important of the two, thus closing the gap on the blades.

Fully agree, Ric_C.
