I'm no Deadbat - but there is no other - so here are my thoughts

Turner 7 – did OK all round. Didn't shoot like Howard the other night though :) Can't have those pesky young keepers involved can we Nigel!

Brayford 7 – 10 out of 10 for effort – real 100 percenter but he's a 6 as a defender and an attacker. Should not be at the club :(
Kennedy 8 – why is it only me who sees the spirit of Tony Kenworthy in this lad :? Getting better on the ball as well as he plays more but still far less often than he should. Always worried after that booking he would mistime a crunching tackle and get sent off.
Basham 7 – love his strength in the air – but prone to the occasion mistake? Get his power in the centre midfield where it is badly needed
Freeman 7 – not as bad as painted. Sold into trouble a couple of times by such as Coutts.. If he's that bad why don't you call for MacFadzean getting a game there? Should not be at the club.

Davies 5 – FFS at the moment makes Baxter look mobile. Has got that quality though and will hopefully improve as he gets fitter.
Reed 7.5 – all we had in midfield. Getting stronger in the tackle. Top rate going forward with heart and skill.
Coutts 5 – looked like Peterborough's description of him. Jack of all trades, master of none. Modern day so called midfield player. Plays from the middle of the field but cannot apparently run all day, mark and tackle and attack as a proper midfield player can. Should not be at the club.
K Wallace 5 – first real look at him after sub only appearances. No comments as he is young just thoughts. The observation is why is he getting opportunities and not Khan? Has he really gone off the rails the last months? (Despite his international call up :)!)
Adams 6 – if ever there was a mixed bag it was him yesterday. At times unstoppable going forward – ball watcher defender. Infuriating going backwards on so many occasions particularly nearer the end.

Higdon 5 for his general play, 0 for his tackling. Luckily for him and Clough his final warning did not see him sent off with the next foul – but finally subbed.

Murphy 9 :star: Two quality finishes and always positive.
Scougall 6 – much needed energy from this lad. FFS work on your shooting/finishing.
Baxter 2? - as remarked put us in trouble twice losing the ball.

Manager Clough ? Three players who should not at the club – excluding Baxter and Doyle. How do you mark that?
10/10 for luck which could prove more important than ability?

Crowd 5 – too quiet but there was not much at stake. It was just a game to watch and enjoy and hope for the best. Did make a difference when the ref livened them up.
1 for their turnout on Tuesday from what I've seen ion the web site :(

Entertainment. 9/10. It is the pantomime season isn't it? I enjoyed it.

Generally higher marks for the defence.
First half I thought Swindon were much better going forward than Spurs!:? Great movement and skill but fortunately worse finishers than us though. Like Spurs a shit defence.
Attack is always the best form of defence Nigel!
