Home v Stevenage - Tues Feb 11th

DMH feet are too quick for his brain. Lots like him about. His football IQ is extremely low.

 

Good second half performance. But let's not kid ourselves. We were poor against the bottom team in the league.
The win papers over the cracks a little but SM & KB have a hell of a job on turning the good ship BCFC around if we want to go up this season.

 

O'Donnell 5 - Flappy. Indecisive
Henley 6 - Big improvement, snapped in to tackles.
OC BRE 6 - Standard stuff
Wood 8 - Quality as usual
DMH 6 - Bright second half but too indecisive
Reeves 7 - One of his better games
Akpan 6 - Commentary have it in for him, every Stevenage attack was blamed on him. They were incapable of understanding he was the advanced midfielder. Had a few great touches first half. Plays well for someone that gets dropped continually.
Mccartan 8 - Presume Mccall told him to go roam at half time. Quality finisher
Guthrie 5 - None existent first half, much brighter second when he got going.
Novak 5.5 - Same as above.

 

He took his chance very well.

 

I thought DMH was decent as well. Think he needs to work on his decision making when in good positions, couple of times made the wrong call.

Really pleased for mcCarten and hope he kicks on from this. Think he's the best shooter we have.

Reeves played very well especially considering he was carrying Akpan all the time he was on.

Can't believe the half time turnaround. Lucky we were playing a poor team unable to hold onto their lead. Bit a wins a win we just need push on from here

 

Stevenage were woeful

 

We do but Saturday is going to be tough. Cambridge are in cracking form with another win tonight.

 

Probably not the most impressive win in the world but at least it takes the pressure off with 3 points on the board.

 

McCartan changed the game for us for me. Looked a threat until he was taken off. 2 goals tonight and a vital goal away at Swindon. Let’s hope he keeps going. Becoming a bit of an asset.
Novak two in two aswell

Guthrie looked lost. Why did we sign him? Off of the bench only really for him now. Donaldson looks streets ahead.

Very poor first half but we came out in the second half admittedly against a poor side but 3 goals and a win will do confidence good. If only we had hung on Saturday we would be in the play offs. But keeps us in touch.

 

DMH actually has a very good cross on him which is good to see, just made the wrong decisions a few times when in good positions.

 

This Leagues woeful, we look woeful hadn’t won in 8 yet find ourselves 1 point off 5th.

 

Yeah 2 away games followed by Plymouth at home, we def couldn't have afforded to drop points tonight, and can't afford another terrible 45 minutes against stronger teams.

 

Can City play some more woeful teams then, coz Cambridge up next look to have hit some form.

 

3 points cant be sniffed at but at times it was a lottery on that pitch, until Novak broke away and made the game safe with the third I was always concerned a ball launched into our area could have stuck for an equaliser.

 

Re decisions, even tho it’s a fair while since he left us, he’s still very immature in terms of good standard football. Hopefully his decision making can improve with game time.
He’s definitely got some potential for me.

 

Never a good time to take the piss, after that no show in the first half we had to get better second half.

 

I always liked the kid

 

Much improved 2nd half performance, albeit against a woeful Stevenage side.

Maybe McCall is the man to get the best out of McCarten, because he seemed to have more of a roving role, and he was very good in the second half after been so anonymous first half.

I thought Reeves played well tonight, but my MOTM tonight overall was Wood.

 

Jake Reeves take a bow did the work for 2...as akpan was his usual self sauntering around aimlessley

 

Novak for Vaughan? Turning out to be a good deal.
No goals from Vaughan again and subbed after an
hour,again! Maybe he wishes he was still here now
Bowyer has gone?
