Mildenhall : 6 - Did what he had to do Leadbitter: 7 - Good pace, gaining in confidence Parkes: 8 - Getting better and better McCrystal: 9 - Best performance I have seen from him. Won everything in the air Brown: 6 - Solid if unspectacular Mansell: 5 - Looked a bit lost tonight, one of those days? Gosling: 4 - Why oh why doesn't he use his pace more? Tends to slow things down too much Lockyer: 5 - Getting better Monky: 5 - Not his best performance, easily knocked off the ball Blissett: 5 - Caused trouble with his presence but needs more control Taylor: 6 - Excellent control and holds the ball well. Needs to be more ruthless IMO
Harrison: 6 - Well taken goal, ideal impact performance Balanta: 5 - First touch let him down a few times, there is an excellent player in there somewhere! Dawson: 7 - Maybe tries too hard with the trickery but he has pace and great crossing ability
DC: 7 - Happy to change things when needed. Thank goodness Ref: 7 - One of the better ones, no real issues Braintree: 8 - Looked good and a threat up front. Thought they sat back too much in the second half though. Marvellous goal, deserved the applause.
And that concludes the voting of the Highbridge jury. Goodnight.

I did offer to bring my lady to Grimsby today but was given "that" look which only a woman can give. And only a man can understand. Radio Bristol it is then.

A lot of fans don't realise that as long as a fraction of the ball overhangs a fraction of the line it is allowed. So the ball itself doesn't need to be in the quadrant or even touching the lines around it. OK with that, but I've seen corners with the ball clearly outside (not overhanging) the line. Pedantic may be but it does annoy the crap out of me.

Here's one which annoys me:
Linesmen: Ensure the ball is in the quadrant when taking corners. Lost count of how many times a corner-taking player will move the ball outside the marked area before taking it. Not convinced what advantage there is but the markings are there for a reason.

See that Luton have terminated the contract of Dave Martin. And no I wouldn't have him back.

"Taylor caused Bath's defence problems" is that meant as a joke, given we didn't managed a decent shot on target? He certainly caused their defence problems. Sadly not their goalkeeper.

At home drowning my sorrows. Before I get too depressed, here are the scores from the Highbridge jury:
Spiess 4 - One very good save and quick distribution. But at fault for the first goal and could have done better perhaps with the 2nd.
Leadbitter 4 - good pace but final ball very poor. Tackling weak on occasions. Gave away 2nd goal. Trotman 4 - Not as commanding as usual but won his share of headers. Parkes 3 - Long ball passing abysmal today. Didn't seem interested. Brown 4 - Solid performance but nothing like the quality we are used to.
Balanta 2 - Dreadful game. Finishing poor and passing wayward. Clarke 1 - The worst game I haver ever seen him play. Sinclair 5 - Never gave up and he expressed his frustration many times. The ineptitude of his team mates got to him I think. Martin 1 - Didn't do a lot right today and must be on his way back to Luton
Taylor 4 - Caused the defence problems, good pace but final product poor. Blissett 4 - Did well before his injury and not at his best.
Subs: Wall 2 - Didn't seem interested and played far too deep when we needed an old fashioned centre forward in the box. Gosling 2 - Didn't see him do anything of note Goldberg 2 - Asper Gosling
DC 4 - Got team selection wrong today and couldn't motivate the team for some reason. Ref 5 - Not too bad, seen far worse Bath 8 - Really up for it, their forwards (7 and 9) caused us problems all afternoon. Impressed with their fans who outsung us all afternoon. The "Blackthorn" quiet as a library and not one version of "Goodnight Irene" heard at all.
