Preston Report Card
By: Dr Fishy
Date: 27/12/2001
TOWN lined up in a defensive 5-3-2 formation. As the game wore on, we noticed that it was more like a 6-2-0-0-2 formation.... the front two receiving no support from the wingbacks and very little from the midfield trio. It was evident that the strategy was to be play-for-a-point.

Coyne Surely the man of the match. Save followed save followed save followed save. The nearest he came to being beaten was by a deflection off Ford that trickled centimetres wide.
Grade: A-
Neilson Started nervously, but grew in confidence. Obviously not a proper wing back as such. Carried out his defensive duties adequately, nothing more.
Grade: C+
Chapman Did very little wrong. Ventured forward occasionally, and was solid.
Grade: B-
Gallimore: Had a pretty good first half. Refused to be pulled out of position when Preston overloaded the left side.
Grade: B-
Groves: Disappointing. As captain would be expected to lead the 3 centre backs. As a ex-midfielder, would be expected to venture forward. Did neither. Looked nervous and short of confidence and wasted possession in dangerous areas.
Grade: C-
Ford Looked promising, but had a few edgy moments. Should be happy with his full debut.
Grade: C
Butterfield Inconsistent. Almost too casual in his passing. Sometimes he was neat and well positioned, but his tackles were weak and did not give Neilson any real assistance.
Grade: C-
Willems A strange performance - he attacked more than the other non-strikers, but he let Butterfield take most set pieces, and did not seem bothered about Chapman being outnumbered time after time.
Grade: C+
Burnett This was Wayne's chance to get a run in the team. But too often he gave away the ball and sat far too deep. Like Groves, he is an experienced player in a young team, but seems not to help them out... The obvious choice to be taken off
Grade: D
C.Thompson Looked skilful, worked hard and never gave up. Missed a good chance by shooting with his right when it was on his left. Was then unfortunate victim of dodgy off-the-ball incident and had to be subbed, just as Jevons was tiring. Hopefully not badly injured....
Grade: B+
Jevons: Pretty good in the first half, but exhausted in the 2nd. Was very poor in the 10mins before being taken off.
Grade: C-
Subs:
Coldicott, Jeffrey and Boulding:
All 3 made a difference. Boulding had a handful of breaks, and managed to shoot wide, over-elaborate or shoot at the keeper. Jeffrey made a great run to catch up with one of these breaks, but Boulding just ignored him. Jeffrey also hit side netting late on!! Coldicott was everything Burnett had not been; bustling, busy, physical, and attacking.
Grade Guide
| A* | This is almost impossible to achieve as I will refuse to give anyone this grade - unless they score six goals and get opposing players sent off. |
| A | This is more possible to achieve, although the player must have had a brilliant game i.e. he can't have put a foot wrong all match. |
| A- | The player must have performed superbly, setting up goals, scoring goals, making match-winning tackles etc. |
| B+ | The player played to a very high standard indeed having been influential throughout the 90 minutes. |
| B | This can be achieved if the player had a very good game overall but could be forgiven for making one or two minor mistakes. |
| B- | The player put in a performance worthy of special mention for his efforts on the pitch or otherwise having a good game. |
| C+ | A mark for players who have had an average game but at the same time played well in patches and may have had an impact on the final score. |
| C | An average performance but not worthy of being dropped for the next game - a competent performance. |
| C- | Start thinking about the player's attitude and commitment on the pitch. Showed little effort and was probably invisible for most of the match. |
| D+ | Poor game and realistically shouldn't feature in the next game. |
| D | This player shouldn't be playing in the near future. |
| D- | The player deserves to be fined for his abysmal performance |
| E | The player should be sacked |
| F | And then shot |
