MOL
Gilchrist Phillips Bielik Styles
MJ Molumby Mowatt Price
Jimoh
Heggebo
Would like to see Jimoh play centrally and price floating from the left. Think Jimoh could offer more of a ball carrying threat on transition centrally and we can protect his lack of defensive instinct in front of M&M.
No excuse to make too many changes as we have clear weeks either side and working on some more attacking solutions is key.

MOL - 8 - Best GK performance for quite some time. Even with the occasional flap.
Imray - 6 - 5 for 25 mins, 7 for the following 20. Right taken off to protect him. Has promise, but seems way off the standard required, which at 23 is a worry for him. Great attitude though.
Phillips - 8 - Collosal, back to season start form. Blocks, interceptions, tackles, headers. Superb.
Taylor - 9 - Solid both in and out of possession, Eric Peters-esque. But an extra mark each for the clearance and 'tactical foul' - Wonderful stuff, I cheated that rugby tackle harder than anything in recent months.
Styles - 8 - All action, really developing into a really good full back.
Wallace - 6 - Ran a marathon. Not much impact on the ball. Did his job really well off the ball.
Molumby - 8 - Best performance of the season from him. Won so many tackles was disciplined in his positioning and played some very good forward passes. More of this please.
Mowatt - 7 - So good to have him back, the amount of control he gives us is irreplaceable in our current squad.
Jimoh - 6 - A few flashes of his undoubted ability without any real output, but far too often left Styles exposed and was not quick enough to sprint back. ER gave him a few tellings off. Need to learn that side of the game an quick. Would start MJ there next game.
Price - 7 - I genuinely can't remember a player in recent times who covers the ground he does. Remind me of a young Jordan Henderson. And I think in time he will become that sort of player in CM.
Heggebo - 7 - His hold up play is the best in the league. His physicality is superb. But can't score him any higher because as an attacking unit we didn't do enough.
Subs:
Gilchrist - 7 - Really solid and much better on the ball too. Could be the biggest winner of ERs coaching.
Dike - 5 - Looks cooked mentally to me. So sad to see. When ever he jump he stops when he lands to see if he's okay. No pace, no impact.
MJ - 6 - Worked hard defensively, we didn't have enough of the game to get him involved up the pitch.
Diakite - 6 - Sured us up at a time we were getting completely overran. Job done Aussie. That should always be his role.
Bielik - Not enough time.
ER - 8 - Better balance to the starting XI, so credit for him trying to find those solutions. Also good responsive subs to how the game played out after their triple sub. Only negative was taking Heggebo off which meant we lost our outback and invited some pressure. But Birdy me ruined he had been struggling physically in recent weeks so will keep my powder dry. The last 2 games have looked very similar to those early days under CC. Players communicating much better on the pitch, staying organised and doing the really horrible things well. That's a big difference from at any point during this season. Changes needed in that front 4 though as it's not working enough going the other way.

I thought he was another Homer. However he did get all the big decisions against them right, to their annoyance. But the amount of inconsistent decisions were mind boggling.
Booked Price for a high boot. Their player tried to volley the ball at shoulder height and nearly decapitated Phillips - Play on.
He booked Styles early on when their RB when charging through, then Doyle blatantly pulled back Molumby when we were break - No booking.
Booked Imray for repeated fouls - when 2 weren't even a foul. Then let's Klarer get away with 3 hack downs of Heggebo after he had rolled him.
Don't even get me started on the Jaw breaker from their keeper on Phillips.
And the 'noses still have the neck to moan about the decisions.

Mad Max
Campbell (hopefully back soon)
Phillips
Taylor
Styles
Mikey
Mowatt
Molomby
Villa kid
Price
Heg
If we can keep that team for the rest of the season we will be a solid team that can hopefully start scoring.
If we have to rely on more than two of the following on the pitch Maja, Dike, Diakite, Imray, Gilchrist at any point then we will keep struggling. It’s mad how poor this squad is.

The last time we kept two clean sheets on the bounce?
I don’t know the answer but feels like at least a year
