Scores given with the caveat that this was my first game of the season and I couldn’t always tell who did what when the ball was anywhere near the other goal.

Belshaw. 7. Impressive

Taylor 7.5. I thought he looked pretty good in the second half.
Hughes 6
Anderton. 6

Rodman. 5.5. I like him but he didn’t do much yesterday so far as I could see
Grant. 6
Finley. 6
Anderson. 6

Nicholson 7. Good player. If he can play 36 of our 46 games we should be fine.
Pitman 6.5. Good first half. Same as Nicholson, if he stays fit then great.
Collins. 6. Seemed energetic.

Subs: one general point. Under Garner and Tisdale and now under JB, whoever we bring on as subs seem to make us worse not better.
Coutts. 5
Thomas. 5
Saunders. 5.

Ref: 7. Thought he did well
Barrow: 4. I thought they were poor, though spirited. If we don’t finish above them this season then we really will have to play badly. Liked the town though, from the little I saw of it (the inside of the Duke of Edinburgh pub opposite the station and the short walk to the ground). Nice scenery from the train.
