Jaakkola  5 he hasn't been at his best so far.

Hoole 6 one of the few reasons for optimism, he looks the part,a real find.
Hughes 6 fairly solid apart from one careless moment.
Anderton 6 an ok game, but no good going forward.
Harries 5 better than Baldwin IMHO, but thats not saying much

Grant 5 worked hard but mistake prone.
Finley 5 nowhere near match fit but I think there's a decent player in there.

Thomas 5 disappointing ,he has obvious talent but perhaps low on confidence,
Hargreaves 5 no worse than the rest but his career seems to have stagnated in the last 18 months.
Anderson 7 m.o.m.Worked hard, most of the few good thing involved him.

Saunders 6 no service but gave his all.

Subs: Rodman  5 obviously ring rusty.made little impact.
Nicholson 5 as Rodman
Collins 5 as Nicholspn.

Ref 6  ok
Stevenage  6 decent

Jaakkola 5 not feeling it from the big fella yet this season. One great throw out though.

Hoole 7 m o m classy performance, mature beyond his years.
Hughes 6 nice covering.
Anderton 7 competent.
Harries 6.5 ok steady, had a shot on target.

Grant 5 um, can do better.
Finley 5 tried hard but part of underperforming mid.

Thomas 5 tried hard but part of underperforming mid.

Hargreaves 4 anonymous.
Anderson 6.5 worked hard no support.

Saunders 6.5 worked hard no support.

Subs: Rodman 5 hardly contributed.
Nicholson 6.5 set up best move of the day for us
Collins 5 hardly contributed.

Ref 8 best we've had this season.
Stevenage 6 well organised but had not much to offer....2 goal win flattered them.


Poor lethargic low tempo attack from us helped them, but we need to do better if we intend to compete in this harsh division. Not good enough.

[cheamgas]

Jaakkola 5 (none of the spectacular saves that we have become used to and distrubution poor)

Hoole 5.5 (managed to get vital tackles in but did not really impact on the game)
Hughes 5 (in the main looked a competent defender but must take responsibility for the defence playing too deep and not enough good forward passes)
Anderton 5 (looked relatively competent in defence but very negative)
Harries 5 (did not do much wrong but did not look as if he was going to make a positive impact on the game)

Grant 4.5 (each time he looked as if he would do something good he would make a mistake. After a lot of games in the last couple of years expect a more commanding performance)
Finley 5 (a reasonable effort seeing not much of a pre-season and hopefully will get better)

Thomas 5 (a few nice touches but a very disappointing performance from someone of his ability)
Hargreaves 4.5 ( a few moments of good energy and positive running but a shadow of the player that he was when he first came into the team)
Anderson 6.5 (the only half decent performance. Showed good effort, pace and skill but a little short of end product)

Saunders 3.5 (anyone above six ft two inches tall would of made more of an impact. Not his position and appeared that if he played there for ever he would not score)

Subs: Rodman 4 (little impact)
Nicholson 4.5 (little impact but at least his presence gave us hope)
Collins 3 (made even less impact that Saunders)
Ref 6
Stevenage 5 (even with a new team we should win games like this. When Wycombe went up to the Championship they only had a handful of players at the start of pres-season)

[I Voted For Kodos]

My own opinions from the match. Results to come shortly


Jaakkola 4.5 Maybe could have done better for the first goal 


Hoole 6.5 Some good interceptions and looked to play. Caught out for the goal but the ball shouldn't have been allowed to drop like that in the box 
Hughes 5.5 One slight slip, but the more assured of the centre back
Anderton 4.5 Caught out by Reid and switched to LB for the second part of the first half. Seemed stronger in the second half though
Harries 4 


Grant 4 Overrun in second half, unable to link defence and attack
Finley 6.5 Worked hard and was always busy. Clear impact when he went off


Thomas 5 Clearly talented but not in the game enough
Hargreaves 4.5 Did some decent pressing in the 10 position. Arguably created our best chance when his pressing almost forced an own goal
Anderson 6.5 Best player on the pitch. Isolated, but showed energy and skill in driving forward


Saunders 5.5 Can't fault his running, but struggled on his own


Subs: Rodman 5 Didn't have the desired impact
Nicholson 5 Won some fouls, but didn't get going
Collins 5 Not sure he was fully fit


Ref 8 Pretty anonymous, but in a good way. Some soft fouls given, but consistent
Stevenage 7 Solid in the first half, stepped it up in the second.

Yeah, good spot. It is the 18th time this has happened in the league, though 7 of those have occurred in the last year.
