stupid and unnecessary penalty by Knight. 
Cashin sat on his backside for the second. 
Two goals knocked off for crazy brainless offsides and again sitters missed. 
Apart from that all was wonderful ?

Wildsmith. - 6. Could do little with the goals. Average performance. 
Knight. - 5. Have penalty away by getting school boy turned. Getting found out at TB by teams. 
Davies. - 5. Rusty. 
Cashin. - 5. Needs a break  off the pace tonight. 
Roberts. - 4. Football fraud. 
Bird. - 4. Becoming progressively worse.  Doesn’t assist. Doesn’t score. Only passes back/sideways. Thankfully subbed. 
Dobbin. - 7. Always lively. Put a shift in. Never should have been hooked. Post him up top. 
NML. - 5. Off tonight. Brief sparks but nothing of note. Should not have been offside for disallowed goal.
Sibley. - 4. Invisible. Can not take the first team opportunities when given to him. Maybe too busy thinking about his birthday presents. 
Collins. - 3. Seem nothing in him that suggests he is a goal scorer.                        Hourihane - 4. Almost forgot him. Seemed to be in competition with Bird for who could be more ineffective. 

Not rating the subs. That list has depressed me enough! Didzy looked ok, put himself about in his cameo more than Bird/Hourihane combined. 
 

Little Liam - 2. No plan A, no plan B. No clue. Sadly the stake, predictable football continues.

Wildsmith 6 (solid but not all kicking accurate)

Knight 6 (for effort)

Roberts 6 (a yard off the pace still but not bad)

Cashin 7.5 (only one at it)

Davies 4.5 (recall didn't pay off)

Dobbin 5 (worked back well, repeatedly chose wrong option in attack)

McGoldrick 6 (for effort)

Sibley 5 (poor) 

Hourihane 4.5 (just isn't delivering)

Mendez-Laing 5 (2 good crosses and what looked like a legit goal disallowed, otherwise worst performance to date)

Bird 4.5 (his worst game of the season, always 2m from where he needed to be and not enough drive)

Collins 4.5 (possibly robbed of a goal though)

Barkhuizen 4.5 (missed an easy chance and otherwise did nothing)

Osula 5.5 (actually looked ok but limited time and didn't see enough of the ball)

Awful match and only mendez stood out for me

[OoooMarkWright]

Wildsmith 5.5 No chance with the goals. Kicking was dreadful though. Overcooked about a dozen kicks into touch.

Knight 5 Their left winger had him in toast. Sloppy passing. Looked like a midfielder playing right back for the first time this season.

Roberts 6.5 Looked alright, battled well. Came central a lot. 

Cashin 6 Not his best. Slightly harsh to blame him for the 2nd as he was on his arse from a header moments before and he’s blocked many like that previously. 

Davies 5 Looked like an old man who didn’t know how to kick a ball properly. Harsh, but very rusty.

Dobbin 5 Good positions 1v1 but final touch/pass not enough. A little lightweight.

McGoldrick 5.5 Didn’t effect the game like I thought he would do.

Sibley 5.5 Sloppy at times but involved in some dangerous attacks. Can’t have too many complaints about being subbed.

Hourihane 5 Same old. Odd nice touch but intensity/closing down was too much for him. Legs look knackered. 

Mendez-Laing 6 Verybpoor first half but most likely to get something in the second. Great ball in 2nd half which we should’ve scored from. Goal disallowed. Our best threat. Could have played a better ball to TB for the 2v1.

Bird ? 4.5 Very poor at times. The odd nice ball but like Hourihane, outmuscled and intensity too much for him. Thought he’d boss this league but he’s not been at it thus far.

Collins 5 Battled hard but feeding off scraps. Goal disallowed which was tight. Touch very heavy at times. 

Barkhuizen 5.5 Should have scored. Looked lively the first 10 but then the sloppiness of the team got hold of him too. Messed up the 2v1 attack. 

Osula 5 Didn’t do much but it was game over by then.

[Lac291884]

Wildsmith - 6 (Not a fault for goals, but below average distribution)

Knight - 4 (His worst game this season, gave away penalty, struggled against Diamond, needs to be in midfield)

Roberts - 4.5 (Poor, prefer Forsyth in that position)

Cashin - 6 (Did ok after his poor mistake last week)

Davies - 5 (Just coming back from injury but didn't look his best)

Dobbin - 4 (Gave the ball away far too much and made errors in good positions)

McGoldrick - 5 (Didn't do much when he came on)

Sibley - 6 (Thought he kept the ball reasonably well, didn't create much, brought off too early)

Hourihane - 4 (Has offered next to nothing outside set pieces too many games this season, this game being another)

Mendez-Laing - 6.5 (He troubled the defenders at times, should have stayed onside but couldn't see it too well)

Bird ? - 4.5 (Wasn't at it today, positionally wasn't good, him and Hourihane are struggling as a pair)

Collins - 5 (Not sure whether his goal was offside but good finish, other than that he rarely got involved)

Barkhuizen - 4.5 (Should have finished his chance, did nothing of note other than that)

Osula - 6 (Came off bench and looked ok, did nothing wrong)

Wildsmith 6 did ok..no chance with the goals but long kicking was off.

Knight 4 Made to look like a midfielder playing in defence, his man had him on toast all night.

Roberts 5 was ok some great passes into their box but not enough.

Cashin 4 Too many mistakes. Looked off it tonight.

Davies 5 Looked rusty.

Dobbin 5 Some nice touches and tried to get forward but often out muscled.

McGoldrick 6 Looked decent when he came on, hope he gets fit enough to play longer.

Sibley 4.5 Hardly did anything.

Hourihane 3 Very poor even his free kicks were woeful apart from the one they cleared off the line but his legs seem to have gone.

Mendez-Laing 7 Tried all night always our biggest threat, should have stayed onside for 1-1 and they wouldn't have scored their second.

Bird ? 4 Anonymous and very poor on the ball.

Collins 5.5 End product poor again, should have stayed onside.

Barkhuizen 5.5 A couple of lovely crosses but generally seemed off the pace like most of the team. Should have scored.

Osula 5.5 Wasn't on long, didn't have any significant impact.

Weird that one.  Looked by far the best player on the pitch prior to the last 2 games in our side and v what the opposition offered.  He advised Rosenior he would fill in but wasn't happy to stay in that position .  Probably anticipated as we all did that a regular right back would be brought in before the window shut.  Now he's stuck there I bet he can't wait for January.  Can't see anyway he's agreeing a new deal.

Wildsmith 4 he was awful at kicking the ball(in fairness really small and narrow) 

Knight 5 really struggled against the winger, silly peno to give away but still playing out of place only reason its a 5 and not 4

Roberts 5 steady game seems to panic too much when he gets the ball

Cashin 4.5 ok game look like they struggled at the back could be more to do with davies being rusty

Davies  4 didnt look match fit

Dobbin 5 tried his best in a very poor team made some good runs and couple of nice turns

McGoldrick 5 tried hard when he came on had some fight in him

Sibley 4 didnt effect the game at all

Hourihane 4 really struggling with the pace he needs a runner in the midfield with him the role hes laying with bird doesn't work

Mendez-Laing 5.5 in and out of the game tried to take on his man get a few crosses in 

Bird  3 doesn't effect the game at all we are carrying him and he passes the ball into danger and causes pressure on us 

Collins 5 nice finish on the off side, he didnt see the ball enough to effect the game 

Barkhuizen 5 looked better better when he came on should of scored

Osula 4.5 didnt effect the game but tried to get the ball

[nottingram]

Wildsmith 6 - couldn’t do much with either goal, looked a bit unlucky with the pen but would probably have been retaken if he’d saved it as he was about on the 6 yard box

Knight 5.5 - poor for the penalty but generally fine performance 

Roberts 6 - playing a difficult role but looks comfortable doing it. Would quite like to see him as a left sided centre back in a 3.

Cashin 6 - not sure why but doesn’t make me feel particularly comfortable when he takes risks on the ball yet, competent defensively.

Davies 4 - under par and loses an extra mark for being the final straw leading to me turning the game off in a strop in the 92nd minute when he played some crap pass out of play.

Dobbin 5 - nice touches but lost the ball too easily with stray passes, not convinced we can play away games with him and Sibley.

McGoldrick 6 - nice touches and drove us forward, looks after the ball.

Sibley 5.5 - doesn’t look after the ball as well as McGoldrick yet, the contrast between his cup and league form is weird. Not the answer to all of our problems.

Hourihane 4.5 - an enigma, get the feeling he should play because he is dangerous in the right situations but I’m not sure how to fit him in perfectly. No slight on Bird but he isn’t good enough defensively to cover Hourihane off the ball. 

Mendez-Laing 6 - quiet first half but should’ve come out the second with a goal and an assist. Always dangerous, need more players with his physicality. 

Bird ? 4.5 - should be dominating games, isn’t. Wants too much time on the ball and seems to need a ball winner next to him at the moment but we have seen before he hasn’t always. Carrying both him and Hourihane at the moment.

Collins 5.5 - decent in general play, nice finish but offside.

Barkhuizen 5 - seemed to give the ball away every time he got it and should’ve scored. Team looked better with him on but probably coincidental.

Osula 5 - thankless task, couple of nice touches.

Watch that second goal again. Absolutely no blame whatsoever can be attached to Cashin for that goal, he was on his backside as he made an outstanding block, his mates then stood still and didn’t put the challenge in, Hourihane Bird and there was another I can’t remember who, they were the ones to blame.
