Performance v Signalman (H) (Cup Qtr Final)
Smithfield rue missed opportunities in the first half to collapse to a 5-0 defeat in the second.
Stanway
Had one save to make first half, dropped the ball for the crucial second goal in the second, not at his best today (but was ill if I do say so myself -Ian).
7/10
Clarke
Was at fault for the first goal, but battled well after that, linked up well with Craig down the right.
8/10
Cobby
Sound performance again from the left back, was felled by an atrocious tackle in the second half, but dusted himself down and carried on.
8/10
Harris
Strange for him to play on a Sunday since he’s discovered God. Took 15 minutes to settle back in but performed well after that.
8/10
Askey
Not a lot he could do about the first 2 goals, showed how easy it was when moved to midfield the last half hour.
8/10
Ford
Gave the ball away too cheaply at times, should have had at least one goal, never gave up when all seemed lost.
8/10
Maskery
Outstanding commitment in the middle of the park, could have had a goal, never let the opposition rest.
9/10
Smith
Struggled with the pace of the game first half, was more of a threat in the closing stages.
7/10
Craig
Managed to hit the post twice in the same move in the first half, needed to have the ball played simply in the second, made the runs, needs the ball.
7/10
Woodcock
Turned up after a late call, should have had 3 goals but was denied by an inspired keeper, passenger in the second half.
7/10
Jones
Should have had at least 2 goals, showed his lack of match fitness in the second half, still on the way to recovery.
7/10
