Jaakkola: NOLE

Rodman: 5. Looked at fault for the 3rd and offered little going forward.
Menayese: 4. Worst game I've seen from him. All a learning curve though.
Craig: 6.5. MoM. Getting MoM with a 6 says everything about our performance. Did ok.
Kilgour: 5. Got dragged everywhere, although to be fair spent the first half covering Leahy.
Leahy: 3. Decent season but dreadful today.

Ogogo: 3. Where has his form gone?
Upson: 4. Targeted by MK as soon as he received the ball and didn't have the speed of movement or thought to cope.
Sercombe: 6. Poor first half, better second.

Nichols: 6. Good first half but faded in the second. Understandable given how hard he worked on his own.
JCH: 2. Looked either unfit or disinterested. Either way, he shouldn't have stayed on. Won't go anywhere with that performance.

JVS: 5. One good save and unlike others, I didn't think he could have done anything with the goals.
Hargreaves: 5. Tried but even his energy wasn't enough today.
Bennett: 5. Looked lively in the short spell he was on.

Great ground (padded seats!), but desperately needs a crowd to get an atmosphere. We looked like a side that has played 5 times in 15 days with a paper thin squad that to be fair to them, has dealt with a lot over the last 3 weeks. We must give BG time to implement his style, although he also needs to be patient in not introducing too many changes too quickly.

Nobody deserved MOM as all were poor irrespective of the marks.

Jaakkola NOLE

Menayese 4.5 - great prospect but needs a break from the side (if we had a replacement)
Craig 4.5 - great player but at his age needs a short rest after so many high intensity games
Kilgour 5 - best of a poor back three

Rodman 5 - defensively poor and did not do a lot going forward
Upson 5 - in some games his lack of pace is more clear than others. Evident against MK Dons
Ogogo 5 - clearly not fit
Sercombe 5.5 - not involved as much as usual
Leahy 5 - poor all round but tried hard and made two good goal line clearances

Nichols 6 - Played very well in first half but faded badly
Clarke-Harris 5 - clearly not match fit. Had poor first touch and looked very frustrated

Subs: van Stappershoef 4 - did not inspire any confidence
Hargreaves 5 - looked lively at times but still not convinced that he can thrive in League 1
Bennett 5 - did not make a significant difference

Crowd 5 - hard to believe that there was more than 8,000 in the stadium
Ref 5
MK 6.5 - outplayed us. They did not look like a bad side at the Mem earlier in the season but had a lot of strikers injured. Thought at the time that if they had someone who could score goals for them they would rapidly move up the table.

Jaakkola Nole (sadly)
