This.
Relieved with a point but we were incredibly lucky.
Sheridan again showing his complete and utter tactical incompetence.
Referee was utterly incompetent for both sides. Should have sent their player off for elbowing Alessandra in the head, should have sent Mellor off for deliberate handball when he was last man, and was it an Argyle hand for the penalty? Even if he got that last one right, he was utterly calamitous. Lost the plot.
McCormick 7 MOTM - Not at fault for the goal. That's about it.
Mellor 4 - where are these good ratings coming from? Still astonishingly cautious going forward, should have crossed and didn't a fair few times too.
Hartley 6 - Very good first half, not so good second.
Nelson 6 - Solid enough.
McHugh N/A - Not a flaming left-back Sheridan, everyone can see it, why not you?
Cox 5 - Been generous as he clearly wasn't fit.
O'Connor 7 - Tidy, used the ball well.
Harvey 6 - Too deep. His fault or Sheridan's I wonder?
Banton N/A - Maybe one day we'll learn to not have this very attacking minded player being played so deep he's forced back into his own half. Clueless manager.
Alessandra 6 - Worked hard, not a lot of end product.
Reid 6 - Isolated as hell but could have worked the channels better.
But despite not having a proper left-back or proper wingers, the weakest link in this squad is the manager. I am prepared to give John Sheridan 10 games this season before making any big "Sheridan Out/Sheridan In/Sheridan is God" statements, but right now I am not happy with what he is doing, despite having what looks like a pretty damn good squad at his disposal. 4 points from 3 games is an ok start but "ok" aint gonna cut it this season.
