Belshaw 9 m o m almost flawless match, a few saves for the cameras, there ...

Gibbons 7.5 starship trooper.
Thomas 8 defended like a trooper
Gibson 8.5 super trooper.
Gordon 6 pooper trooper.

Rossiter 8 ran like a man possessed.
Finley 6 got caught too much in possession.
Evans 6.5 all he does is assist and score goals.

Coburn 9 unplayable, they had to resort to fouling and took his goal well. Remarkable potential.
Loft 8.5 excellent contribution, esp to set Aaza free, his all round game is improving.
Collins 8.5 makes up a formidable front 3 and an excitement to watch. Fast becoming worth the admission fee alone, but last night all he done was assist, almost score and play a wonderful Pearson (dummy).

Subs: Anderson 6.5 ran well and almost set up one chance....almost felt like he was trying too hard.
Sinclair nice to see one of your own back after hitting heights. Nole.
McCormick still yet to impress. Nole.

Ref 4 consistently awful for both sides, at one time I thought we were playing foul football where anything went.... professional rugby tackle should be red card and missed a stamp on one of our ankles.
Wednesday 7 no doubt a good team but we pestered them into ordinariness. They have some good players, but they didn't utilise them and best midfielder in division (if you believe it?) showed sparks of what he can do, but you have to give credit to our defence for stemming their flow and creating bone fide chances to nick a win.

Amazing support.
Amazing performance.
Amazing game again for this level, entertainment value tops.

Well done all that contributed and justice for the 97.... UptheGas.

Results in and James Belshaw was Man of the Match with a score of 9.13.

This was Belshaw's 17th MotM in League games and 19th in all comps. The score of 9.1 was the highest this season and the highest since Antony Evans and Elliot Anderson both scored 9.3 on the final day of last season.

This was Belshaw's highest ever rating and the highest rating for a goalkeeper in a league game, beating Kelle Roos' 9.0 against Bradford in the 2016/17 season. Anssi Jaakkola did score a 9.3 against Plymouth in an FA cup game in 2020/21 though.

The starting XI average was 7.66, the second highest for a drawn game.
