The Poolie Bunker

Lee-B - Looked glad to be given a chance. Bawled at Barker for a poor back-pass first half and made a couple of outstanding saves in the second. Should keep his place
Nolan - Steady away. Better understanding with Brown than Foley err, understandably
Nelson - Solid. He and Clark partner each other well
Clark - Great to be back. Occasionally will be caught out by those Stepho turns, but is a class act
Elliot - Poor decisions and slow against a speedy young 'un.
Foley - Good going forward, but today showed how much Brown has got ahead of him.
Liddle - Covered acres of ground, good performance
Boland - Unsure about his performance. We're better when he takes control and no-one else does it like him, but some of his hospital passes are going to leave us exposed
Humphs - whole hearted. great to have someone who can cover back when Elliot is up taking (poor) corners
Barker - Battering ram again, but it's not our best style.
Moore - Ran his socks off as usual. Some good flicks and so unlucky with the dink over the keeper that came back off the bar.

Brown - Made a big difference. Always an outball and loses it a lot less as he gains experience and strength. Could have had two goals in his first five minutes.
Robson - Looked sharp. His crossing was so un-Robson like - whipped some great balls in and slotted back in with Humphs no bother. I'd be happy with him and Humphs on Friday down the left channel
Porter - Last five minutes only but looks like he wants Barker's place and could have won the game for us given more time.

Overall a disappointing first half against a battling but poor Northampton. Battered them for most of the second half but couldn't get a break, again.
