Performance vs Grapes (A)
Outclassed and outplayed, Smithfield concede 7 for no reply on a great pitch against Grapes.
Stanway
Seemed shaky at first then for a spell had to single handedly keep the opposition at bay, let in 7 goals though.
7/10
Clarke
Battled well when our backs were against the wall, found himself out numbered as full back pushed forward.
7/10
Harris
Under pressure for most of the game with 4 of the goals coming from his side of the pitch. Never let his head go down, was replaced on the hour.
7/10
Askey
Really couldn’t do much for any of the goals which is surprising when you let in 7, kept the back line out well.
7/10
Tudor
Felt sorry for the lad having given 3 goals away through his mistakes, on another day he’d have got away with it but Grapes were ruthless up front.
5/10
Smith
Struggled defensively, and needs to pick out his pass quicker when going forward. He has the pace and needs to use it more as a weapon.
6/10
Ford
Never really looked comfortable in the middle and dropped further back as the game went on. Needs to find his pass much quicker.
6/10
Bagnall
Should be more vocal to prevent players being seemingly unmarked and less critical when the inevitable happens because they are. Over run in the middle.
6/10
Craig
Struggled to cope with the full back pushing forward, tried to find a good pass but was often hit and miss.
6/10
Maskery
Ran himself into the ground and was often fighting a lone battle up front, work rate terrific, movement really good.
8/10
Jones
Never a threat, poor workrate and made it hard for his team with his lack of movement off the ball. Didn’t keep there defenders occupied.
5/10
Subs
Cobby
Came on in the second half and looked strong, gave us what we had been missing for an hour.
7/10
Latham
Caused problems in the last half hour, made some good runs but didn’t get the ball he deserved. Looked tired after 14 minutes though.
