We are dire. We keep hoofing down the left to Garbut who is worse than useless today. They are bossing us all over the field.
(Re comments earlier in the thread, it appears that he was playing on left of 3-5-2 formation.)
League One
Doncaster Rovers - Conor Grant played full match in 1-1 home draw with Millwall
OS Match Report
"More brilliant work from Tyson set Conor Grant through on goal. With an option to square the ball or go for goal he looked to place it past Archer at the near post but again Millwall man made an excellent save to keep the scores level."
Twitter stuff
21' Freekick to Rovers wide right . Grant is behind it...It hits a defenders head and lobs into the arms of Archer who then clears 0-1
26' Grant picks the ball up and drives towards goal, he lets rip from 25 yards and it goes just wide 0-1
79' Chaplow into Middleton, into Grant, out to Evina but his cross is blocked, Rovers still have the ball 1-1
CHOPPED: Grant absolutely whacked by Thompson. He gets a yellow card.
Grant is through on goal, he can square it but he shoots and it's saved 1-1

On the other hand I thought Gooch and Grant linked up very well in the second half. Clearly he is not going to be a target man because of his size but he has a solid level of technical ability similar to Grant.
Conor Grant – Looked rusty in the first half but was back to his best in the second half. Grant always wanted the ball and created space time and time again only for a team mate to look elsewhere. As our best attacking midfielder the young Everton loanee has a big part to play for the remainder of the season.

League Two
Oxford Utd - Jonjoe Kenny played full match and was booked in 2-1 away win at Wimbledon
OS Match Report
"Back came Wimbledon, Buchel making another outstanding save from giant forward Elliott on 74 and Dunkley, Kenny, Mullins and Skarz threw their bodies into blocks and challenges; the whole side defending for their lives when required and looking increasingly dangerous on the break."
Twitter stuff
10' Wimbledon break past Kenny and MacDonald, but Elliott's slide to meet the through ball means he can't get a cross in 0-1
12' Sercombe steals away from the feet of Elliott before moving smoothly past him and squaring to Kenny. 0-1
14' Another throw in for the U's, which Kenny comes to take. Sercombe lobs into the area, Hylton meets... Roos saves. Still 0-1
15' Kenny powers a ball off the Wimbledon attacker but he's unlucky and it stays in play. Mullins blocks the cross. Corner 0-1
17' Another U's throw in. Kenny takes. O'Dowda creates space and uses MacDonald. O'Dowda crosses and Sercombe flicks on. Saved 0-1
21' Save! Great touch from Buchel to put Rigg's header over the bar. Barcham created the chance for Wimbledon, overpowering Kenny 0-1
22' The corner lands in the middle of the area but is cleared. Barcham chases down and lumps it back in. Kenny hoofs up field 0-1
37' Superb pace and clearance from Kenny as Barcham is through from Elliott's overhead kick. Wimbledon corner 1-1
43' U's corner which Maguire takes to the back post. Dunkley heads in but it doesn't reach Hylton. Kenny's shot blocked. 1-1
86' YELLOW | Kenny is booked after fouling Meades out wide. 1-2
90+1' Kenny connects with a cross but it loops above him. He gets behind it again and powers out of the ground 1-2

Kenny 5 - A real tough game for him. Targeted by Wimbledon a lot and turned into trouble more than once. A green performance from him and one he'll learn from.
Kenny - for an 18 year old he stood up to the test pretty well and maybe a touch harsh on him

Too many poor performances. Spencer, Haynes, O'Neill and Ledson all fall into that category.
What does Ledson do exactly? The bloke is absolute pony.
National League
Barrow - Michael Donohue gets to make his much-delayed debut and plays full match in 2-2 home draw with Forest Green
Comments from short match report on fan forum
"Jordan Williams was the headline inspiration from the bench, dazzling with purpose and quick feet. Williams' introduction, and the urgency of being 0-2 down, soon brought left-wing partner Nick Anderton into attack mode to now give us free-running width both sides, the left now emulating the threat provided on the right by the persistent and promising Everton loanee Michael Donohue. Stretched and tiring, Forest Green - on the receiving end of a game-long battering from Andy Cook, twisted and turned by Donohue, met by overdue physical sturdiness in midfield from Andy Parry and Dan Rowe, and at the end of their second arduous away journey of the week - faded."
"Still we came forward, pressing for the winner, the excellent Donohue probing until the last. It was uplifting stuff."

Young Michael Donohue looks a more than capable acquisition given a little more freedom and maybe we finally do have two midfielders that can compete with the best even if it is only for the short term!
The Everton lad looks useful.
Donahue looked a promising prospect, perhaps a little lightweight at the moment but I'll watch his progress with interest.
