Player ratings/comments

Gilmartin - 3 - we need much better, had nothing to do in the first half but came for little, second half awful, unable to catch the ball which lead to the oxford goal, also fumbled two other easy saves.
Berry - 5 - good until he made a very silly tackle already on a yellow and rightly paid the full price.
Blanchard - 5 - better tonight, distribution was slightly better but he just won't jump.
Nelson - 4 - wasn't to bad, some decent headers but didn't really hold a line and poor decision making.
Bhasera - 6 - one of our better players, should be playing at a much higher level, good today in a bad bunch.
Macdonald - 6 - he was alright, especially in the second half, scored a great free kick (if intended). Really drove forward.
Hourihane - 4 - didn't even notice he was in the game, his usual backward passing.
Mosesley - 9 - very good again, strong, really drove the team forward and not afraid to shoot, accurate passer off the ball.
PCH - 5 - thought he did ok, didn't see too much off him, few little runs here and there.
Gurrieri - 4 - did he actually play today? don't remember a single thing he did apart from miss a good chance in the second half.
Chadwick - 3 - why? just why?

Griffiths - 5 - did better than chadwick, actually able to head the ball.
Lowry - 5 - was alright, fairly solid.
Harvey - 0 - didn't touch the ball in the 10 seconds he played.

Penalty kicks:

Griffiths: 10/10 - hard, top corner, great kick.
Gurrieri - 2/10 - if your going to stop during your run up, at least get the ball on target, hit bar and over.
Lowry - 6/10 - well saved.
Blanchard - 2/10 - never convincing.

How you can give any rating other than 0/10 for those spot kicks that were missed or saved in the pen shootout is mystifying

With Mosley being Mom and Macca scoring it just shows that without loanees we're worse than shit.

Mosley shining in our side when he's hardly played a game in two years tells its own story. Without them for 3 or 4 games over xmas could lead to some even worse results.

I'm not anticipating anything other than a thrashing from Shitty, with a capital S, and that could be the point where Brent has no option other than to sack clueless.

So Fletcher has praised the efforts of 2 on loan players, Mosley and Macca, and explained that he took Mosley off because he was tiring, which is understandable.

Not a mention of Madjo though who didn't even make the subs bench. Something is definitely not right about that situation. If Madjo is worse than Chadwick or Feeney why did he sign him in the first place?

Maybe it has something to do with Madjo's fashion sense:
