GC 4

Bonham: 7. Competent.

J Clarke: 6. Struggled today and badly at fault for their opener. Good season though.
Lockyer: 7.5. Another good game from a very good defender. His passing is still poor, but he's there primarily to defend and does that well. Only denied a goal from a brilliant save.
Craig: 7. Solid as ever. This man has been a superb signing.
Holmes-Dennis: 6.5. Not his best game but gets an extra mark for that cross.

Upson: 7. He's had a good second half of the season and continued that today.
Ogogo: 8. Best performance I've seen from him. Played well.
O Clarke: 7. A return to form and a beauty of a goal.
Sercombe: 7. Had he stayed central he would have got a 4 as he didn't look remotely interested. Much better out wide though.

Nichols: 8. Played really well and linked the midfield with JCH in a way that no-one else has done. Would be interesting to know how many of JCH's goals have come with Tom in the side.
Clarke-Harris. 8.5 MoM. What a player. Shows the value of a presence up top and more importantly, a goalscorer. Has saved our season.

Rodman: 6.
Sinclair: 6.
Jakubiak: nole.

Ref: 7. Decent game. Got all our bookings right.
Bradford: 6. Gave it a go, but given their position they had to. Liked No 10.
Crowd: 6.
GC: 6. They say it's better to be a lucky manager than a good one. Today was a case in point. Got the starting formation wrong but to his credit had the nous to change to 4-4-2 relatively early. Why we feel the need to play three largely defensive, battling midfielders at home to the team bottom.of the league is beyond me. Substitutions too were dreadful. Taking Nichols off, when he was arguably our best player up to that point was odd to say the least and left JCH isolated and invited them on to us. Still, he's almost done the job he was appointed to do and will deserve the chance to crack on next season. I just hope that he embraces a bit of creativity next year.

So, Rovers win. City lose. Somerset win. The Masters on tv tonight. I've had worse days...

Bonham 7 Did well Brave in the air.

J. Clark 5 Thought the first goal was his fault, Lucky Bradford didn't exploit him like Luton.
Lockyer 7 Steady game
Craig 7 same as lockyer
Holmes Dennis 6 Better going forward than defending

Upson 7 Proper box to Box display
O.Clarke 6.5 Glimpses of the proper Ollie
Ogogo 6 unsettles the opposition
Sercombe, 6 45 minutes of 4 and 45 minutes of 8

Nichols 5 Rhinestone cowboy, we need a gunslinger
Clark-Harris 9 The Mem holds it's breath when he gets the ball

Rodman 6 Adds another dimension
Sinclair 5 Still a decent sub
Jacubiak NOLE

GC 6 Got a result from unbalanced and limited squad
Crowd 6 Needed JCH to get them on side or else team would have been booed off.

Ref 8
Bradford 6.5

Bonham 7.5 competent.

J. Clarke 6 oops.
Lockyer 6.5 hmmmm?.
Craig 7 best for me.
Holmes-Dennis 5.5 not so good.

Upson 5.5 another poor show.
O. Clarke 7.5 nice goal.
Ogogo 8 best I've seen.
Sercombe 6 not the Sercs from last season.

Nichols 5.5 impotent.
Clarke-Harris 8.5 m o m our saviour.

Subs: Sinclair 7 consistent.
Rodman 6.5 not the answer, don't care what the question is.
Jakubiak nole.

Crowd 6.5 some on verge of booing until 90+3.
Ref 7 got his cards right but some baffling decisions on ball throw ins etc.
Bradford 6.5 unlucky not to get something out the game and typical relegation luck. Shame, I quite like them apart from their initials!

Bonham - 7 - commanded the crosses well and hardly to blame for either goal.

J. Clarke - 5 - worst performance of the season, culminated by giving away their first goal.
Lockyer - 6 - did okay.
Craig - 6 - likewise.
Holmes-Dennis - 6 - quiet.

Upson - 7 - held the midfield together well.
O. Clarke - 7.5 - cracking finish and overall did well.
Ogogo - 7 - solid.
Sercombe - 5.5 - poor again.

Nichols - 6 - some nice touches and link up play, I wouldn't have subbed him first.
Clarke-Harris - 8 - running out of superlatives but two disgustingly high-quality finishes and once again proving to be our match-winner. No way he's here in August.

Subs: Sinclair - N/A
Rodman - N/A
Jakubiak - 7 - effectively helped set up the winner via a direct run.

Crowd - 6 - quiet but lifted at the end.
Ref - 5 - too card-happy towards us.
Bradford - 6 - much better than clear-bottom but evident why they're in a perilous position.
