Here goes:

Kuipers 7- Looked solid and made 1 or 2 good saves

Whing 7- Won loads of headers and hardly lost a tackle.good distribution also.
Elphick 7- Brilliant again, won everything against McCammon
Lynch 6- Good in the air but a few miskicks
Richards 6- Did nothing wrong but got injured early on

Cox 7- Was a wizard on the wing, final delivery could be better though
Thomson 7- Won his tackles and linked up well with El-Abd
El-Abd 7- Made a few crunching tackles and also played some surprisingly good balls.
Westlake 9- Brilliant all day, great delivery and pace and linked up well with Murray and Forster. Deservedly MOM

Murray 6- Not one of his better games, did ok alongside Forster
Forster 8- Excellent workrate, followed up well for the goal. Good general play.

Mayo 8- Probably the best I've ever seen him play

Crowd 7- Good atmosphere, slightly dissappointing attendance though

Ref 5- Too fussy, made some unneccessary subs.

any comments on Gary Hart?

if we had of had any other player on up front, we would have won that 2-0 today

 

[Barry Izbak]

Kuipers 7- Did everything asked of him. Dispiriting for Donny to have him there

Whing 7- Whole hearted again but over enthusiasm cost him his tenth yellow card.
Elphick 7- I like his defending, not a fan of his long ball distribution, but to be fair probably working under orders
Lynch 7 - I like Butters, but can't see him getting in ahead of Joel
Richards 6- Not my favourite player, but made no mistakes in his brief appearance. Hope he's not too badly injured.

Cox 7- Worked as hard as I have seen him in weeks. Final balls could have made him a match winner.
Thomson 6 - Didn't know he was playing in the first half, but improved contribution after the break.
El-Abd 7- He's not what you'd call creative, but his tackling is effective to say the least.
Westlake 9- Another excellent performance. What a volley that was! We'll miss him against Bates' bastards

Murray 7 - Worked so hard, some great touches, but didn't have a goal chance today.
Forster 8- A captain's perfomance again.

Mayo 8- Wilkins can have no fear of using The Ginger Prince in that position after that MOM performance.

Hart 5 - What a shocker. Sorry to say it, because he'll know better than anyone what a chance he had for 2-0.

Officials - set the tone with a laughable goal kick decision against Fozzie in the third minute, then threw yellow cards round like a premiership ref.

any comments on Gary Hart?

Sorry,forgot him. Had a one on one where the nearest player was about 3 metres away from him. Did nothing other than that.

Mayo 7

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Kuipers 7- Did well when called upon, made some good saves.

Whing 8- Stupid booking, but was very solid and had Trolley in his back pocket.

Elphick 8- Fantastic yet again, won almost every header and looking a class above.

Lynch 7- Recovered after a few mistakes, but was solid yet again.

Richards 6- Hopefully the injury isn't serious, but got ripped apart down the left.

Cox 8- Played so much better behind the front two, instead of the wing.

Thomson 8- Solid, made some great tackles and his passing was brillant.

El-Abd 7- Broke up every attacking play, won alot tackles and passing was good.

Westlake 9- Absolutely fantastic, made some great runs and definitely someone we missed all through the season.

Forster 9- Knackered, ran his socks off. Class above again, really outstanding performer.

Murray 8- His first touch was good, his holding play was good. But needs to watch the line for offside.

Subs:

Hart 5- One chance fluffed, definitely going in the Summer.

Mayo 8- He was quality, one of his best games for ages. Still something left in him, hopefully he will start against Huddersfield on Tuesday.

i give them ALL a 10 today, so much passion and pride out there, great result

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Elphick was quoted as excellent and then given 7, whats that all about ?.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Cox was excellent today.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Kuipers - 7 - solid, didn't put a foot wrong
Richards - 6 - hadn't done anything wrong, hope he's not badly injured
Lynch - 8 - fantastic in the air
Elphick - 8 - How he's so young i don't know. Brilliant
Whing - 7 - we'll miss him now he's banned. Looked comfortable against their winger.
Westlake - 9 - immense. Pace, skill, brains and an end product. All you could ask for from a wide-man at this level. Not quite Ryan Giggs, but the closest we're going to get!
Cox - 8 - have to hand it to Wilkins, it was a masterstroke bringing him into the middle. We were being outplayed until that happened, and we had no options as soon as El-abd/Thomson got the ball.
Thomson - 7 - lots of fight, gives the ball away too easily though. Oatway-esque
El-abd - 7 - some clumsy play, some composed, calm passing. Sound defensively.
Forster - 9 - loads of energy, loads of running both up front and on the wing. Deserved his goal.
Murray - 7 - undoubtedly class. He really tries to play football - lots of tricks, great control and good passing. Linked up well with Cox, Forster and Westlake. Just needs to improve staying onside.

Mayo - 8 - brilliant. Experience showed - contributed to the goal and made some great tackles.


Can't really complain - second halves like that ALMOST justify a full price ticket!

Oops, I meant to give him an 8. Sorry!

7 out of 10 is not excellent in anyone's book. Was word would you describe for a 10 ?.

any comments on Gary Hart?

His days as a striker ended years ago.

Can do a job - but not up front.

Should have scored, but failed to control the ball, was off-balance and then fell over.
