Player Ratings: Woking vs Bristol Rovers

Puddy 6 not a lot to do but what he did he did ok
Lockyer 7 defended well and put himself about in midfield
Parkes 8.5 rock solid and brought the ball well at times
McChrystal 8 also solid and reliable
Brown 7 comfortable and cut out most attacks down his side but not so good going forward as he has been
Gosling 5 not very effective and wandered inside to much
Clarke 4 injured early on
Mansell 8 did his best tackling and winning the ball but missed Sinclaire next to him
Monkhouse 5 found it hard at times to get in the game,they stopped us well down the left
Blisset 4 struggled against their centrback,but we were no threat in the air when he went off
Taylor 5 not at his best,pushed off the ball to easily today

Subs Leadbitter 6 defended well,one great header to stop the ball reaching the player at the far post,not much going forward
Easter 5 showed good strength and some nice control,but never really given a decent pass to work with
Harrison not on long enough to mark


DC 6 never really went for it today,but a point away to a team that were up near the playoffs
Ref 6 not bad but a bit of a homer
Woking 6 worked really hard to stop us when we had the ball,not as good as down the Mem when they had it,but got a deserved point

Tannoy announcer 1 I wanted his head on a stick by the end of the game!

Dull, dull, dull, dull, dull. More interesting watching action at gate 2 than action on pitch. An exercise in frustration

Puddy 6 (Steady game with little to do, did panic when he nearly dropped the ball.)
Lockyer 6 (Commited as usual, did ok out of position)
McChrystal 8 (Rock solid, no middle ground with this fella, either immense or useless, on this occasion was immense)
Parkes 8 (Love the confidence he shows from the back, improving as the season goes on)
Brown 6 (Steady performance as we have been accustomed to seeing)

Gosling 4 (Slowed play down, very frustrating player, tried to beat too many on occasions, not good enough)
Mansell 7.5 (Totally commited to the cause, him and Macca threw themselves at everything)
Clarke 4 (Careless with first couple of passes but did win the ball back, not good enough)
Monkhouse 4.5 (I do like Monky but disappointed yesterday)

Taylor 6.5 (Some good link up play especially one move with Blissett and unlucky with the disallowed goal, needs to get closer to Blissett at times)
Blissett 5.5 (Did ok, can be a handful for defenders and linked up well with Taylor on one occasion in particular)

Leadbitter 6 (Doesn't fill me with much confidence for some reason but I thought he did alright, made a good run but wasn't noticed)
Easter 6 (Excellent link up with Taylor straight when he came on but after that he didn't see much of the ball, service up to him was substandard, can see a decent footballer there though)
Harrison 5 (Cries wolf too often, always looking for the free kick rather than just trying to get on and play, frustrating)

DC 6 (Played safe as usual, think the Clarke injury messed up his plans somewhat)
Ref 3 (Awful, I seen about 3 or 4 handballs for either side and not one was given, seemed very much a 'homer' in the first half and would let them take throw ins from wherever, booked Clarke for a foul but let them get away with similar without a card. Stopped play too often disrupting the game)
Woking 6 (Did alright, not as good as us but probably worthy of their point)
Gasheads 6 (Support 10, vocals 3/4)
