Mildenhall 7 good solid performance and some good early kicking
Leadbitter 6.5 improve as the game went on
Lockyer 7 Great to have him back, battled well against MH
McChrystal 7.5 much better on his natural left side plus he brings out the best in Tom
Brown 5.5 bad day at the office, kept going,but was below par today.
Bodin 6.5 Steady game
O. Clarke 4, very poor, no contribtuion first half, marginally better second half but only just
Lines 6 was a little exposed with Clarke and Lawrence but grew into the game
Lawrence 5.5 frustrating for me, good control and flicks but he is a liability, cant run and a better opposition would have capitalised on this. Given him an extra point for a great free kick but a travesty he was selected ahead of Monty
Taylor 7.5 Good movement and two well taken goals.
Gaffney 6 struggling to regain his form post injury


Subs: Montano 7.5 Should have started, great attitude when he came on and made us better
McBurnie 6 not long enought to mark but worked hard during his time on the pitch
Easter 6.5 Shocked he didnt start after his performance last week, class.

Ref 7
Crawley 3 worse team I have seen this year

Mildenhall 6 Nothing to do.

Leadbitter 7 A couple of decent runs in second half.

McChrystal 6 Steady game, but man of the match?
Lockyer 8 Hardly put a foot wrong, his distribution is so much better now.

Brown 6 Worked hard to get forward, but he had an off day today.


Bodin 7 A good effort, has been a very good addition to the squad.
Clarke 7 Worked hard.
Lines 7 A few wayward passes, but a decent enough performance.
Lawrence 7.5 A cracking goal and some very good link play.

Taylor 7.5 would have been 5.5 but he scored 2 headers against a huge defence. 2 goals from 3 chances is good.
Gaffney 7 Ran his socks off.




Montano 7 Could easily have scored 2 goals
Easter 7 Looked lively.
McBurnie    7 Same as Easter

Bodin 6.5 Steady game, got class but does not show it enough
O. Clarke 5 Worked hard
Lines 4 Bad day at the office
Lawrence 6.5 Showing his quality in patches.

Mildenhall 6 - Solid enough, quick distribution is a major improvement in his game this season.

Leadbitter 6.5 - Did ok, pace pushes opposition back.
Lockyer 8 - So glad he's back. I'm a massive fan of Taylor but I think keeping Lockyer is more important for the future of our club.
McChrystal 7 - No nonsense and distribution an improvement on usual.
Brown 6 - Not at his best but not bad either

Bodin 6.5 - Skillful and causes opposition problems
O. Clarke 5 - More like the old Ollie Clarke although did win the free kick for the Beckhamesque goal I believe.
Lines 6 - Much better second half but still capable of better.
Lawrence 7.5 - Showed quality in possession and a Beckhamesque free kick.

Taylor 8 - Very poor first half but an outstanding 2nd half.
Gaffney 6.5 - Worked hard but gets dragged out wide too much, needs to be in the box more.

Subs: Montano 7.5 - Terrific shot which was unfortunately saved when he came on and kept up his momentum of recent good form. Left midfield looks very strong all of a sudden.
McBurnie 6 - Worked hard with little reward.
Easter 6 - Not much time to judge but looked up for the cause and a handy player to have as backup.
