Shearer - 4 - just not up to it! Slow distribution. Have away unnecessary penalty.
McMahon - 5 - better than Barnsley. Still some work to do. Very slow! - Cameron Norman or Ruffles?
Nelson and Dickie - 6 - coped relatively well and limited Fleetwood to very few chances. Their main chances came from a foul and a penalty or break aways from our corners.
Garbutt - 4 - what is going on? Looks bereft of confidence. I was expecting a superstar, like Baldock. - Potential, needs time
Brannagan - 4 - really poor today and gave up lots of possession. A couple of nice cross field passes. Tried to be everywhere
Ruffels - 5 - much improved from Barnsley but not good enough to be a League 1 starter. - Full back cover with pace
Holmes - 6 - a few nice runs and touches but no end product. Excited to see him when fully settled. Best player on the pitch
Mackie - 1 - anonymous. Didn't do anything of note other than miss a sitter! Unfit or legs gone - didn't get involved
Hall - 2 - didn't get into the game at all. Very poor showing. Man marked a lot of the time - Fleetwood had seen what he did at Barnsley
Smith - 4 - worked hard. No support for him up top. Should have done better with his chance. Needs another alongside him - 4 4 2
Browne - 5 - showed glimpses of promise. Awful tackle, rightly booked. Looks useful
Henry - 3 - didn't get into the game. Give the bloke a chance - he had an uphill start and instantly made a difference - but too late
Obika - not enough time. Give him a chance alongside Smith in a 442 and if he still can't produce it'll need another. Whyte worth a go?
Massive improvements are needed and quickly!
