Sheff Wed Report Card
By: Dr Fishy
Date: 20/04/2003
DR Fishy would like to ask a few questions. Why did we play 4-5-1 in such a crucial match? Why were there three Owl mascots? And why did one of them decide to copy Mighty Mariner's pre-match routine?

Other than that I have no other questions to ask. It was plain and simple. Town weren't good enough against a team that they should have beaten.
Coyne: Most of his drop-kicks swayed out very wide. Made a straight-forward save in the first half. Otherwise he wasn't troubled all that much.
Grade: C
McDermott: The captain led by example. He was tested for pace but blocked everything that came his way and isolated the danger.
Grade: B-
Gallimore: Oh dear, what is happening to Gally? Out-paced on at least two occasions and his awareness is deserting him.
Grade: D-
Chettle: Steady at the back, had everything under control.
Grade: C+
Santos: See Chettle.
Grade: C+
Campbell: Burst forward on a couple of occasions. Didn't really threaten, only from set pieces. Became invisible for a while.
Grade: C
Keane: Tried very hard. Likes to cut inside and chase things down. Think Coldicott but with perhaps a shade more skill.
Grade: C+
Hughes: Made many fine interceptions in midfield and looked to drive forward at every opportunity.
Grade: C+
Bolder: Still looks like a nervous youngster but to his credit he continued to probe away and was unlucky with a long-range effort that was well saved by Pressman.
Grade: C
Groves: Gave away possession too easily at times. At times he looked steady, but then five minutes later he lost the ball again.
Grade: C-
Boulding: The effort was there, but the support was nowhere to be seen. So much for the formation taking a 4-3-3 shape when in attack.
Grade: C
SUBS
Mansaram: Came on and made a nuisance of himself without really getting anywhere. Turned and produced a trademark wayward shot from the edge of the box.
Grade: C-
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 |
