Player Ratings: AFC Telford vs Bristol Rovers

Mildenhall didn't put a foot wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puddy 6 not a lot to do.
Lockyer 6 solid defensively but less effective going forward
Brown 6 solid defensively but surprisingly less effective going forward
Trotman 6 solid defensively but ....( broken record!)
Parkes 7 his best game for a while MOTM
Monkhouse 5 battled hard but added more in a defensive capacity than in the creative third
Mansell 5.5 like Monkhouse he was subdued in the forward sense but did get one shot off..no qualms about the defensive aspect of his performance
Clarke 6.5 ran his socks off and unlike most of the team it was occasionally in the forward direction. Second best Rovers player on the pitch.
Gosling 5 plenty of effort not much end product today
Taylor 5 plenty of effort not much end product today
Harrison 5 plenty of effort but not much end product today

McChrystal 6 slotted in seamlessly to complete a solid display by the defence.
Cunnington 5 did pep things up a bit when he came on but it would be unfair to mark him higher for a cameo appearance than the other hard working members of a misfiring attacking unit.

DC 6 seems to have dealt well with a dissenter in the crowd
Ref 5 poor last twenty minutes - he'd been alright before that
Crowd 7
Telford 4 some neat midfield play but lacking at both ends of the pitch

Puddy 7 Competent performance without being overly tested

Lockyer 6.5 Usual solid display, continuing to improve at right back
Trotman 7 Strong defensive headers until injured
Parkes 8 Much improved from recent weeks, strong in the air and MOTM
Brown 6.5 Did well getting forward in the first half with 3-5-2 solid defensively in 2nd half 4-4-2

Monkhouse 5 Played reasonably well, confident on the ball, stupid sending off, elbow unintentional - i think.
Mansell 6 Good defensive midfield display
Clarke 6.5 Seemed more confident and his goal will help further
Gosling 5 A few nice touches but not in the game enough

Taylor 4 Ineffective and missed a couple of chances, one from about 5 yards where he failed to make contact with the ball
Harrison 6.5 Proved a bit of a handful at times, still a very raw talent

Subs: McChrystal 7 Good solid display
Cunnington 5 Didn't get into the game much as we defended a fair bit towards the end

DC 7 Did enough to get us 3 points and nice see him embrace the unhappy fan
Ref 2 Dreadful, lost control towards the end and went card happy. Lost track of time and played 7 or 8 minutes over. Telford also hard done by especially with the back pass, it was a comedy of errors, awarded back pass decision then the linesman collapsed on the line and the ref seemed to forget his decision and gave the ball to Puddy.
Telford 7 Quite impressed, nothing flash but did all the basics well and worked hard for each other. We were fortunate to take all 3 points, don't see them getting relegated despite their current position.
