1:1 a fair result in the end. They moved the ball around well but with no end product for much of the game. We looked occasionally dangerous on the break but no end product. I'm not convinced of those penalty claims. There was contact on Burrows but he was looking for it. Went down far too easily (I actually thought the ref was going to book him). As for the scramble after the handball is ball to hand (too close), there was a bit of contact on the second one and hard to tell on the third. We've got away with a few this season so always going to even out sometime.
I do, however, think Robbo was very lucky not to be sent off. Essentially assault!
The problem was that we had no real system/Style of play again and then decided to sit back and try and catch them on the counter (which we nearly did).
Cooper - 7 - One really great save but he also had a bad spill he was lucky to get away with. Generally solid as per.
Burrows - 6 - Did ok but didn't really have his normal impact. Kept going and he'll feel hard done by at the end but I think he was looking for it.
Robbo - 5 - He needs anger management. Once again he throws someone over his shoulder and then goes at him again. lucky not to be sent off. He was also our worst defender tonight. Too slow and got caught a few times.
Holding - 6.5 - Thought he did well. Bit of a mess with Seriki and JRS down our right first half but covered it well.
Seriki - 5.5 - Got forward a few times but, especially first half, I thought he got pulled out of position on far too many occasions.
Peck - 5.5 - Thought he was poor. Sloppy and slow. We're pushing him towards that over-tired state again and performances drop.
Choudhury - 5.5 - Busy and snapped in to tackles. Had to do a fair bit of covering but he gets pulled out of position and there were big gaps in the middle at times.
O'Hare - 6 - Lively as per usual. Our main creative outlet first half. Surprised he got pulled off to be honest.
BBD - 5 - Thought he was poor again. Makes a lot of bad decisions. I was expecting more of an impact.
JRS - 5 - Had a couple of moments going forward but doesn't track back and there were huge gaps first half for them to exploit.
Campbell - 7.5 - You could argue this is a bit generous as he should have done better with a couple of chances but once again he's the player we have to rely on to score.
Subs:
Brewster - 6.5 - Set up the goal and looks quite creative when he gets on the ball. I need to see more from the rest of his game though. Had a chance which he delayed a fraction and they got back.
Hamer - 6.5 - Started the move for the goal playing a much deeper quarter back position. Looked the most likely to create once O'Hare went off.
Moore - 6.5 - Did quite well but the end product just wasn't there. Held the ball up and made runs. Looked a better bench option than Canon
Anel - 6 - I really didn't notice him but gets a 6 for not getting booked
McCallum - 5.5 - Didn't add the assurance at the back
Wilder - 6 - Once again we weren't the best team first half. Looked to have got away with it yet again until near the end. Subs both involved with our goal but sitting back finally got us punished.
Bristol City - They move the ball around really well without necessarily having the end product. I did think their defenders looked clumsy though. Like an accident waiting to happen.
