Player rantings v Dogs

Shit this is horrible. Now we have both strikers out of form.

Mossy 8 A couple of terrific saves
Fenton 6 Hangs onto the ball too long before delivering, but getting better in his role.
Siggy 5 One stuff up that cost us the game, otherwise his usual strong self
Dura 6.5 Better tonight, showing leadership again
Manny 6.5 Good defensively, but going forward shows he has little faith in left foot, still won the pen that should have got us our first goal.
Reira 6.5 Not as good as last week, but showing good control of the midfield
Vinnie 5.5 Not as good as recent weeks
Kenny 6 Disappeared at times, but looked likely at others.
Brockie 4.5 What use is a striker that doesn't score? A couple of strikes, but blew the easy chance.
Stein 4 Lots of good work undone by suddenly having a mental block against scoring. Not once but three times.
Hicks 5 A couple of shots, but not up to A League striking
Ifill 7.5 The only class player on the pitch. Has to start.
Boyd 5 Ran around, put in one decent cross

Ernie He has the boys playing some great football, but he doesn't have the ammo to take off the strikers. Poor bugger, don't know what else he can do, except buy a striker in January

Ref I thought he had a good game..

4.5 for Brockie is very generous.

It is Christmas

0 for OOE When have we had a striker in form this season LOL

LOL

Brockie did nothing. And I mean nothing. He gets a 0. Piss poor.

OI'd agree with all that Oi Oi

There was a period when we started to get dominance when all the attack was going through Fenton on the right. And he was daaangerous. Going to be at least a very good A league player if he can deliver on that promise.

Like Reira. 

Still not convinced by Fenton as a defender...he looks half decent on the ball and is quick...ish and certainly not afraid to run at the opposition

Brockie looked lazy last night, didn't move alot to the ball, looked really disinterested and then the one chance he gets he blows, at least stein moves and get himself into scoring positions. I think fenton is getting batter at RB, remember he is being asked to change his entire midset of how to play - he defended well for most of the game. Mossy has to be the moan of the match in this one, made some great saves especially that one from point blank range......

Fenton looks the goods at RB to me. Early promise shown in his tackling and positioning - don't get me wrong, there are errors, but he seems to have a good early understanding of what he needs to be doing and where he needs to be. His pace and ability with the ball is obviously excellent, particularly for a fullback.

Riera has impressed me a lot the last two weeks as well. 

We definitely look stronger with Manny at LB.

Ifill has to start.

Very high rating for Brockie, would have put him on 3, apart from the free kick in the 1st half didn't do much except wave his arms around. Looked better when Ifill came on but very poor work rate again.
