Crowd 4
Ref 7
Barnsley 6 not as good as I was expecting and lucky to get the win

Bonham 6.5 couple of dodgy clearances but a quiet game for him mostly

Leadbitter 7.5 our main( only) attacking outlet.need to get runners in the box to maximise though.
J. Clarke 7 solid as usual
Lockyer 8 had Moore in his pocket first half,Moore dropped deeper 2nd half to find some room.
Craig 7 starting to like Mr elbow,about time we had a master of the dark arts.
Kelly 7 seems to be growing in confidence,very tidy game.

O. Clarke 6 mixed bag from Ollie.
Lines 7 couple of sublime passes 1st half,faded a bit 2nd half.

Sercombe 6 one decent strike and could have been played in on a couple of occasions.similar to o.clarke.

Reilly 4.5 looked weak when in possession,trying but failing to play the gaffney role.Not a league1 player on evidence so far.
Payne 5.5 average game overall.Jurys out.

Subs: Bennett 6 the only forward who can make things happen.I know he has his faults but must start games for me.
Rodman 5 needs a run in the team to see if he could be part of the answer to solving our goal drought.
Matthews 5.5 seems like a confidence player and undoubtedly has ability.

Crowd 6
Ref 5
Barnsley 6.5 think they could have stepped up a gear if needed,comfortably in charge after the break.

Bonham  7.5    Couldn't do much with goal  made himself big for stop at the start of second half, kicking okay apart from a couple. Got to win the ball more from his kicks                          were in the final third but not capitalising from the positioning  


Leadbitter  6    made some good overlapping runs but only 50/50 on his crossing        
J. Clarke 6.5       steady game 
Lockyer  6.5       steady  game
Craig      6.5       steady game
Kelly      5.5      delays the early ball and looses the chance to create 


O. Clarke  5       to far off front men as with other midfielders so lost out on a lot of opportunities
Lines         5       poor touches and floating crosses, corners and free kicks, need to be hit with more venom
Sercombe   4.5    hardly knew he was on the pitch 


Reilly        5     lots of running around but has the touch of an elephant 
Payne      5      lost out to almost every header but if you don't jump you will lose
Subs: Bennett   4   
Rodman         4
Matthews       4     no real impact by any of the subs but not sure if all the blame should be put on them. With so many changes week in week out. When they get on their                              trying so hard to impress as individuals to get a starting spot they miss out on chances rather than playing as a team IMO!! 


Crowd    
Ref        5.5
Barnsley 6.5   good passing side but will get punish from any team hitting the target
