Lumley 6 - not his usual commanding self

J. Clarke 5.5 - got forward well at times but lacked quality
Lockyer 5 - poor
Sweeney 4.5 - could of done better in the lead up to the first goal. At fault for the second and numerous errors throughout the game.
Harris 5 - poor

Bodin 6 - a class ahead of other Rovers players but final product was poor (pass and shots)
Sinclair 5.5 - chased around. Went backward too often and was ineffective
Lines 6 - similar to Bodin, clearly a class above most players but very sloppy
Moore 5 - not very effective

Easter 6 - looked far better than James has recently
Harrison 5 - poor penalty, one shot so far over the bar it is still in orbit, generally poor first touch and ineffective

Subs: Gaffney 6 - until he scored his goals looked less involved than Harrison was
Partington 5 - didn't make an impact
Broom 5 - didn't make an impact

Fare anaylsis, although why does Harrison take penaltys, why is every corner the same, and why did it take Darrell Clarke so long to get Gafney on. With what was a possible play off opportunity, we started with the intensity required and then did the usual, go backwards. It showed that with that squad we have over achieved this year, as to progress Bodin, and Lumley would be the only two I would keep for next season.

Must be honest I thought we played well yesterday and aside from at least three bad mistakes all of which were punished we were the better side. That said we do miss that clinical striker to finish off the good work and the final pass into the box was often disappointing.

Lumley 7 thought he looked his usual assured self and made several good saves. Not helped by errors by the defenders

J. Clarke 6.5 Battled hard and always willing to get forward.
Lockyer 6 Not his best game
Sweeney 5 Maybe this game found his weakness, having to defend against smaller quick strikers who had the ball played to their feet
Harris 6 Average, didn't pick him out as having a good or bad game

Bodin 8 I thought Billy looked class and often turned several players inside out looking for the space to get a shot in.
Sinclair 5 Worked hard but game passed him by. Always impresses how he rarely wastes possession by playing the simple ball.
Lines 6 Played well but below some of his previous game changing performance
Moore 4.5 sorry the guy frustrates me, for all his skill he rarely poses a threat. What were all those corners to the back post about.

Easter 6 You can see the underlying class but he rarely turns this into a great performance or threat on goal. Dont remember much he did of note.
Harrison 5 A game to forget. Some good early flick ons, but after his poor penalty he faded away.

Subs: Gaffney 7 Not on that long but you cant knock two goals.
Partington 5. Still looks rusty to me, needs an extended run to find hisform
Broom 5 Average
