player ratings V Derby

[London Irish]

How long is Henderson here for?

Is it a month?

 

[Jello]

Bear in mind that Henderson has known his teammates for a very short time so allowances need to be made I think.

Agreed, but that shouldn't mean he spills any shot along the deck. I think he spilled at least 3 shots and was lucky Derby didn't pick up the scraps. Liked his kicking and seems OK on crosses.

Is it a month?

Yes

Henderson - 6 Not at fault with the goal but spilled a couple

Dodd - 8.5 my motm, linked well with Ried, dependable

Mayo - 7 started well, couple of mistakes b4 ht

Mcshane - 8. massive star of the future

Butters - 7 solid. We'd miss him

Reid - 7. enjoyed his more forward role

Oatway - 7 pit bull

Carpenter 6.5 went missing a few times

Hammond - 8 The new Pele

CKR - 8 On his day, he'll score a shed load; Impressed

Knight - 8 - willing to do the leg work. All round game is improving

I dont mind keepers punching - infact id rather have a keeper punch it 30 yards than try and catch it a drop it.

There seems to be an issue in England that when a keeper punches he is crap not mentioning the fact the punch is as good as a defensive header.

My thoughts exactly. Keepers like Buffon and Toldo punch a lot and there aren't many better than Buffon.

Henderson - 6 Not the answer, not good enough, will cost us if he stays in goal

Dodd - 8 - set pieces were great, assured, good signing

Mayo - 7

Mcshane - 9 - Incredible, from one game I would say he is already premiership material, was first to every ball, fast, great positioning, sly and cool

Butters - 8 solid

Reid - 7

Oatway - 6 quiet

Carpenter 7. quiet

Hammond -7 Lively, the next youngster to go I reckon

CKR - 8 Caused a lot of problems but far from the finished article, needs to develop a killer instinct, potential is staggering though

Knight - 7 - huffed and puffed, but he should not be playing behind the other forward it doesn't work. He should be an advanced forward or winger
