Cox 5  a good prospect but made mistakes that on another night would have cost us dear.
Grant 4  a poor game by any standard,he's gone back in quality this season
Taylor 7;5 m.o.m. held the defence together
Wilson 6 good to see him back but a way off full fitness
Friend 6 decent but surely must be short term and another player that will need replacing in January
Thomas 7 the only ray of hope going forward
Woods 4 dire,mistake prone 'looked unfit'
Finley 5.5 ok in parts but made little impact
Brown 5  Reading did their homework and stuck close to him
Collins 6 back out wide on the left ,a legacy of Bartons that i'd hoped had been binned.
Martin 6 "all he does is score goals" hopefully he'll continue doing just that!!
Hall
Gordon
Marquis 6 he had the most blatant penalty denied,wheres VAR when you need it....oh wait a minute !!
Vale 7 a great cameo he must start games and out wide where he causes most damage
Bogarde 5.5 better than Woods which wasnt difficult
Crama 5 adequate.
Gibbons n.o.l.e

Ref 6 for the first 80 odd minutes, 2 after his eyesight failed

Reading 5 they looked a poor side,worryingly we weren't much better !!

As Requested Moved to the Correct Thread.

Our View of Last Night

Cox 5 - Worst distribution game since he has been with us. Put us under real un-nessacary pressure at times.

Grant 4 - Being played in too many different positions by both JB & AM. Not sure he knows what he's doing at RB! Got done far too much!
Wilson 5- Not match fit & made too many mistakes. Protected by Taylor which saved his blushes.
Taylor 8.5 - Won everything in the air thankfully covered Wilson & Grant. Did more work than he should have!
Friend. 5 - Some positive's but I would like to judge him at CB, not LB. Concerning lack of pace & the turning circle of HMS Ark Roayal

Findley 3 - So inconsistent game to game. Team has moved beyond him. A move to League Two must be on the cards in January
Woods 7.5 - Excellent game (except one big mistake that lead to the goal) - Out of position time and again but this is because he was covering Finley & forced to make too many covering tackles from Finley's errors
Thomas 7 - Looks soooo frustrated! Tried to get us going but gave up in the second half. Clever back heal for Brown.
Martin 6 - Missing apart from the run through & shot for the goal. Looked slow on occasions but no question he is a proper goal scorer! No real support.
Collins 5 - Just looks so uncomfortable on the wing sometimes
Brown 2.5 - Worst game so far in a Rovers shirt.

Subs …

Bogarde 6 - Played almost as a sweeper at time rather than a midfielder. Played behind Finley not alongside him.
Marquis 6 - Did Okay but needed to be on the pitch sooner.
Vale 7 - Changed the game and excellent assist. Needed to be on from the start.
Crama 5 - Did ok when on - better than Wilson.
Gibbons 5 - Gave away a Pen fortunately not given. Another Struggling to look like a League 1 player

Referee 7 - Really good game until the Marquis Pen & red card that he should have given for stopping a goal scoring opportunity. Compounded the error by evening it up (in our favour) when Gibbons gave away a foul which should have been a Pen.
Stadium 7 - First visit & its facilities are appalling for a new-ish stadium. lack of bars, food outlets inside in the dry. Access to the stadium & parking difficult! View inside absolutely perfect.
Gasheads 6 - Good following but noise & away "atmosphere" was nullified by the home drum. A good example of how to use a drum & the effect it can have!

From Ifollow..

Cox 6 looks nervy, I think we need a shake up in goal.
Grant 6.5 coped well.
Taylor 7 best of the defence.
Wilson 5 gave away too much.
Friend 5.5 ineffective.
Thomas 7.5 m o m tricky and constant threat.
Woods 4 poor.
Finley 4 poor.
Brown 4.5 poor.
Collins 5.5 tried a bit.
Martin 6.5 took his goal well.

Hall
Gordon
Marquis 6.5 should have been a pen winner.
Vale 7.5 glittering cameo.
Bogarde 5 no real difference.
Crama
Gibbons

Ref 8 apart from pen shout which looked horrendous mistake, I thought he had a good game.

Reading 4 low quality only matched by ourselves. The poorest outing of the season...

I feel sorry for all that travelled and attended!
