Reserves player ratings

Our reserve matches correspondent Clive Richardson has provided the following ratings on players in last night's victory over Norwich:

Myrhe Not heard such a vocal keeper since ... no defence is going to sit deep with him hollering 'Get out' if a defender puts a foot in the area
Youga Promising, quick, gets forward, passes ball wall
Brandao More of same, comfortable on the ball, overlapped well to put in some good crosses
El K Commanding, good long-ball passing
Spector Quite a revelation - ball-playing centre back, comfortable in possession, good tackling, almost a midfield general
Ricketts Did well enough in midfield
Fuller Excellent game, good ball-winner, good distribution, rugged tackling
Lloyd Sam Good turns, good runs, couple of good shots. Has far more to offer than JJ, including a rasping shot, far better than JJ's vapid efforts last night
Bartlett Not much involved, won a couple of good headers including getting on the end of Sam's first cross to score first goal just on half-time, followed by a second in second half
JJ A striker? 3 or 4 chances, not on target, got injured in a challenge early on, went off holding side just before half-time. The flapping Finn will doubtless make a Lazarus like recovery for Sunday
Lisbie Too casual, off the pace, predatory instinct at its usual low ebb, showed little interest, lack of flair, but scored with a 6 yard header
Had 75% possession, good passing/running/control, little finishing power with this strike force.

Dissapointing to see your reserve reports are being written by a a two legged animal. Has the Canine and Feline Football Journalist Academy been closed?
