Brindell-South merits more than 5.5. Grade him according to his age and ability. He is only a backup player for this position after Fenton and Boxall.
Really tough assignment for him. He got done a few times by Goodwin, one which led to the second goal, but never gave up chasing and actually had the better of Goodwin after that goal until his legs gave out.
It would be hard to choose between Carlos and Stein for man of the match. Best game from Carlos in a Nix shirt in my opinion.
Not to seem like I'm trying to make excuses for him but the conditions would likely have played a factor. I imagine he has rarely travelled to, let alone played in the environment and temperatures before, nor played at all for sometime.
Also not fully convinced Stein is 9, close to though. Ernie though cranked it up to 11 in that game, terrific result.
