In his own report / 5 things learned JP said Kalala added new impetus when he came on and made a positive difference to the team performance. Yet here gives him a lower score than the player he replaced, and Atangana, and the same as most of the other players.
How are we meant to interpret this?

The introduction of Broom, Dawson & Kalala put Cheltenham on the front foot for the first time in the game. Although Crawley edged the game overall and deserved their win, they were mostly hoofing the ball upfield in response to our 3 subs coming on.
Kalala in particular deserves a 7 marking and if he’d been on longer, perhaps even higher, as he frightened the Crawley defence into mistakes. Even the sponsors gave him MotM.

Can't argue with these responses. All 3 subs added something. Kalala was going past players like they weren't there, just let down by that shot which disappeared way up into the tree - some feat.
Was Atangana's worst game for us, I though. He had a real off day with his passing. It happens, especially at this level. Hopefully it was just a blip.
Personally, I'd be giving the referee a 4 at best as well. What the hell was he doing in the first half where he seemed to blow the whistle for a pass back to their keeper, which it blatantly was, only to then give a drop ball because a couple of them protested and have us kick it back? And other than the penalty and a few absolutely blatant fouls, he seemed to give us jack all and anything to a Crawley player that shouted loud enough.

Bizarre set of scores from the reporter. Derek Goddard will be looking down bemused.
"Back-passes with parts of the body other than the foot, such as headers, are not prohibited."
"but defenders are not permitted to attempt to use a deliberate trick to pass the ball to the goalkeeper with a part of the body other than the foot to circumvent the rule."
It was a very deliberate pass back to the keeper with his knee. I don't know why that wouldn't count as a back-pass, but apparently it's legal. I never knew that because it seems stupid. Should be deliberate pass back to the keeper with any body part of the legs or feet, as far as I'm concerned.

One touch FA Doubles; head and knee didn’t count as a touch.
Agree with you - as doesn't handball - over the years - now includes the whole arm...rather than just the hand?Shade wrote:"Back-passes with parts of the body other than the foot, such as headers, are not prohibited."
