Player Ratings v Crewe

I'll give it a go:
Collin - 6 Apart from picking the ball out of the net 4 times, didn't do a great deal wrong.
Elliot - 6 One of his better games, and took his goal well, but just didn't get forward enough in my opinion
G Jones - 5 Didn't notice him much to be honest, don't think he knew much about the 'own goal'
Webster - 3 Shocking performance, school boy error for their first goal, time to drop I'm afraid.
Percevill-Knight - 4 Usually kind of like him but I thought he looked lightweight and pulled all over the place, got injured and replaced
Iredale -6 Probably the pick of the back 5 never gave up
M Jones - 4 When this guys not on his game then the whole team seems to suffer, this unfortunately was one of those games.
Bridge - 5 Ran around a lot
Sagarf - 6 Pick of the midfield, although that wasn't hard, but really needs to impose himself on the game a bit more.
Hope - 6 Tried his best, but like all the players his best wasn't good enough.
Fela - 6 Tried desperately to make things happen, but needs somebody either playing off him or somebody to knock down balls to.

Subs:
Melish - 7 Pick of a very bad bunch for me
Scougal - 5 See Bridges comments
Mc Kirdy - 4 I for one was screaming for him to get involved, unfortunately he might as well stayed on the bench, but it might of made a bit of difference if he came on earlier.

Pressley: 4 Fails to see the obvious, 5 at the back didn't work today and if he wants to give himself a chance of keeping his job, then he needs to make some hard decisions like dropping Webster for a start.

Ref: - 8 Never really noticed him so he must have had an OK game, although right at the death when he gave them the free kick, they took it and then he blew to start the game was bizarre.

I would give Sagaf 4 and Hope and Iredale 3 and that would be it.

I would give them [censored] all and that includes there wages

I'm really struggling to pick a man of the match - most of them were so poor. The first half was dire. As Bry says above when M Jones is not functioning in midfield we struggle. Five at the back and playing deep ( or playing scared ) just gave them the run of two thirds of the pitch as we were outnumbered. Occasionally when our front players tried to press when Crewe played it out at the back they had so much space to find a way out because everyone else were so deep. That said that the quality of our players is just not good enough - in what, IMO, is a very poor league. I think we need to play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 Five at the back does not work with poor quality players prone to making numerous mistakes and giving the ball away far too easily. Fancy Dan Bridges cost us the second goal when , despite being battered we were still in it. We had an excellent 20 minute spell to draw level and then just gave it away again with stupid schoolboy errors. Desperate times, I'm afraid.
