Yeovil - Player Ratings

Casper - 6 - One save in the last ten minutes to make. His distrubution was better (well it couldn't have been worse than the Yeovil keeper - maybe they swapped boots!) Claimed a couple of corners too.

Parker - 7 - One of his better games recently, got forward well and look composed at the back.

Naylor - 7 - Quiet game from Naylor, didn't have a lot to do but did it well.

Rui - 7 - Looked comfortable on the ball, perhaps too comfortable sometimes. Wasn't put under any pressure.

Douglas - 7 - His positional play his fantastic, he's clearly not a right back but does a job because he uses his brain.

Delph - 6 - Can we please have the old Delph back in the middle of the park, doesn't offer us enough on the left wing.

Howson - 7 - Industrious performance from Howson, certainly has claimed his place back in the team in style.

Kilkenny - 8 - My MOM, whoever got rid of the old Kilkenny was a genious, I like this new one, involved in everything positive and was one of the only players in the first half who got the ball on the floor.

Snoddy - 7 - Ran his socks off again, was fuming he couldn't take the penalty but kept going all game.

Becchio - 6 - Not his best game and smashed a pen over the top.

Beckford - 8 - Hattrick again, I only counted six attempts last night and one of them was disallowed! Didn't do much else, but who cares.

------------

Grella - 7 - Looks very tidy with his feet and appears to have a great first touch, glad he got a chance and seemed determined to show his worth.

Johnson - 6 - Lost on the left. Simple as that.

other than the pen thought becchio deserved a 7 otherwise i agree with you on everyone else


yes it is me the bloke who offered to drive kkny to any other club
but this new kilkenny is a completely different player passes the ball FORWARD runs and even tried to tackle  lets hope we can keep him and the old one can fuck off
Del

Would give Rui an 8 and Becchio 7

Very Happy

Agree 100% mate,share the exact same view of the game
Batfastard

I also had a very similar view (though I was sat next to Tosh, so that's perhaps hardly surprising).

One thing I would add though, is that Yeovil were an exceptionally poor side. They looked OK first 20 mins or so, but totally fell apart after we scored and never really recovered themselves.

The only slight amendments I would make to the player ratings above is that both Parker and Dougie looked a bit dodgy during that first 20 mins, when Yeovil were coming at us a bit. Once Yeovil fell apart, they each took command of their positions and looked like quality full backs......... but I wouldn't bet against either of them getting skinned by anybody decent.

Dougie is a midfielder, simple as. And Parker is, imo, an average League One player and will never aspire any higher. If we ever get out of this damn league I can see him being sold to a Northampton or a Bristol Rovers or a Carlisle or one of the other permanent League One sides - I can't ever see him making a career above this level.

Delph just looks shattered to me. It's his first full season and, however good he is, all youngsters get tired. He has barely missed a game since breaking into the side - he needs a break imo. A good manager nurses youth along and makes sure they don't get burned out - Grayson needs to wake up to this, imo.

The biggest positive for me though was Grella. Looked like he's got some absolute class and clearly a very intelligent and selfless player. There was one time near the end where he burst into the box, could have taken a shot (and I'm sure he'd have loved to have scored one) but squared it instead to Bex who was in a better position (though he got closed down as it happened). But thats a good sign of a skillful, thoughtful team player.... wouldn't complain at all if he started v Swindon.

Good post

Imo once Andy Robinson is fit,Delph will be on bench,give him chance for bit of rest,then hopefully by buisness end of sseason,he,l be chomping @ the bit.......

Lets hope Grella becomes a good signing,sure we,l see more of him next season.....

Imo Parker will be sold in summer,i do expect Aidy white to be 1st choice left back,goin into next season
