One day soon we're gonna thrash someone

Mossy 6 Solid, not much to do that he could realistically do
Fenton 6.5 Best showing at right back so far, well done
Siggy 8 Terrific
Dura 6 Did well, although caught out a little for last goal
Caira 6 Solid
Manny 6.5 Lots of good work and a few mistakes
Vinnie 7.5 Another good performance, his movement and effort are excellent at the moment
Hicks 6 Why wasn't that a pen? Sheesh
Steiny 5.5 Working hard but nothing much happening
Carlos 8 Another top performance, vision, calmness, passing, shooting
Brockie 5.5 Well at least he didn't get to take another penalty!
Ifill 7.5 Caused them panic with his tricky turns and good passing
Kenny 8 Woodwork, goal disallowed and a great volley, plus some good running at defenders.
Reira 6.5 Injected more good passing and movement into the midfield.

How on Earth did we not win??
Ernie 9 Awesome to see the style of play, the sensible comments aftergame, the intelligent use of subs....

What do you think?

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

I'd agree with those generally. Thought Ifill wasnt that great though, maybe a 6.5

No replies, miserable sods.
Moss 7 - made some top draw saves and looked to distribute quickly through rolling / throwing the ball out, not humping it forward.
Fenton 7.5 - Made alot of good runs forward and opened space for others. Crossing was a little off, but I can not remember him looking out of position defensively too often.
Siggy / Durante 7 - solid marking and were outdone by a cracker first goal and let down by Manny on the second.
Ciara 6 - doesn't seem to make mistakes on D too often but offers very little forward. Crosses as bad as Lochead when he does actually cross, which is bugger all.
Lia 7.5 - his best game. made some good runs and got into scoring positions which is unusual for him. hope he keeps its. (him and manny efectively kept Sydney's midfield trio quiet)
Manny 7 - makes a lot of tackles but gives away alot of fouls. Needs to be more available when we have possession.
Hicks 6.5 - needs to involve himself more. generally works well and a good passer.
Hysegems / Brockie: not working as a team up top. one needs to drop out.
Hernandez 7.5 - good through balls and control, when it clicks or we start reading him better we could really cut a team apart.
All subs get a 7, all made a positive impact.
Changes for next week - Cunningham to come in for Hysegems and Ifil for Hicks.

I thought the big positives were that Cunningham and Fenton looked good while previously had not offered much. I think people are overrating Lia a touch, he is playing much better than the start of the season but he still missed a couple of goals and did nothing outstanding, solid rather than good for me. I don't think we should be playing Brockie and Hysugems together either. I would drop Brockie to the bench for the next game and start Cunningham.

Fenton was all at sea with his positioning for the second goal,but to be fair you could place blame on any of the back four for their calamotous defending in that situation. He's still struggling to provide any quality delivery from wide areas also. Would have given him a 6 max.
Sigmund was okay defensively but I don't think he was outstanding. And his inability to pass a ball frustrates me a lot, would have given him a 6.5 myself.
Lia was better today, but his awful performances so far have got people thinking that today was outstanding rather than solid due to the low expectations now placed on him. Deserved a 7 though.
