Some thougts

Forster - Looks good. Much more presence and confidence than Alnwick.
Drury - Looked steady before the injury.
Nelson - Solid display.
Berthel Askou - Solid display
Otsemobor - Decent. Even a couple of good crosses.
Smith - Invisible. Too light-weight for this role now.
Hughes - Think his injury lost us the game.
Lappin - I like him, but today he was AWFUL.
Daley - Too light-weight. Poor touch. A couple of good involvments, but not enought to earn a new start in the next game.
Holt - Fought like a captain, but think he dropped a bit too far back at times. Made it hard to create anything when he met the ball behind the mid-line all the time.
Martin - Looked lively in the first half. Excellent goal. Disappeared later in the game.

Spillane - Looked decent
Adeyemi - Not good enough
McVeigh - Poor

Ref was awful but got their penalty right (or at least his linesman did).

Think it's alarming that we were unable to create anything after Hughes went out.

    - Agreed, regardless of the slight touch, martin just shows time and time again that he (NCFC) - pants, Sep 14, 23:09:13
      - He went into that tackle with the wrong foot, (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Sep 14, 23:35:53
      - Tend to agree - not sure it is a 'growing up' issue though (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 14, 23:13:28
        
        It was no more a pen than the push on Holt. (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 14, 23:20:45
        
        That decision when the player elbowed Holt, and got the freekick, with Holt (NCFC) - pants, Sep 14, 23:25:20
        
        Oh yep - agree entirely on that part. Ref and assistants had an absolute shocker (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 14, 23:22:29

        He was wearing blue, and was shit. The ref v Walsall disallowed a good goal... (NCFC) - Arganth, Sep 14, 23:32:01
        
        How Holt kept his relative cool all match I'll never know (NCFC) - pants, Sep 14, 23:30:23
        
        I know - he was immensely calm all night, yet agressive enough to often (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 14, 23:31:36
        
        Yeah I like Holt a lot, we've needed a tough old cult hero like him for ages (NCFC) - pants, Sep 14, 23:33:17
        
        Holt is running a close second to JBA for me at the moment (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 14, 23:36:04

        I thought he... (NCFC) - Fierce Panda, Sep 14, 23:15:30
