Elliot - 7.5 Francis - 7.5 Dailly - 7 Doherty - 8 Bessone - 6.5 Fry - 6.5 Wagstaff - 5 Semedo - 8.5 MOTM, tough call between Jose & Abbott but Semedo was superb today McCormack - 6 Jackson - 6.5 Wright-Phillips - 6.5 Eccleston - 7 Abbott - 8 - not sure what's happened to him as he's been useless recently but other than nearly falling over the ball with his first touch he was brilliant
Elliot -7- Solid, had no chance for either goal Francis -8-Much improved, put in a great cross for Jackson's goal Dailly -6.5- Solid against the division's highest scorer's and possibly best striker Doherty -6.5- see above Bessone -6.5- solid and unspectacular Fry -6- solid Wagstaff -5- didn't do anything, right decision to bring him off Semedo - 7.5- his usual self McCormack -6- some poor passes but didn't hide and gets around a lot Jackson - 5.5- would have been 5 but for his brave headed goal Wright-Phillips -6.5- drifted in and out but yet another goal Eccleston -6.5- much better on the wing, i hope he starts ahead of waggy there next week. Might be a luxury in away games as he doesn't track back Abbott -8.5- MOM- helped change the game. Won headers, held it up, distribution mainly good and took his volley well, albeit with the help of a deflection. Brilliant
Elliot - 7.5 Very solid in the wind. Crucial save when pushed shot onto post early on
Francis - 7 first time he got forward we scored. Very strong and good in the air but still a few errors but he was up against a good team and players. Looked better with Eccleston in front of him and the extra space created
Dailly - 7 Solid again
Doherty - 7.5 block after block
Bessone - 7 I liked that he also looked to pass on the ground even if it didn't always come off. His pace is useful. Shame he was injured again
Fry - 6 Started very poorly and was done more than once. Improved but not his best
Wagstaff - 6 Rarely in the game even before the clash of heads
Semedo - 7.5 he does what it says on the tin
McCormack - 6 Real disappointment. Would have been less if not for the 100% effort
Jackson - 6.5 not a good game esp. in first half but scored a key goal
Wright-Phillips - 7 really didn't show first half but another goal. OK an unmarked header but he still had to get that space and finish it both of which he does very well. Cracking first time shot that also nearly went in.
Eccleston - 7.5 Didn't work with him and BWP up top but not for lack of effort. Playing wider he had more space and created a wonderful 2nd goal
Abbott - 8 Match turning performance and a good goal which he was clearly so pleased to notch. So pleased for him
n/a Reid 6 No real impact.
Powell 8 Napoleon asked his generals if they were lucky. Powell certainly has ridden his but it is more than that. Got the team plan wrong first half and we were over run. Changed it and the talent in the side turned it around. Good enough for me.
Did anyone else notice after Posh kicked off after the third goal his just sat down on the advertising hoarding. Not so if it was shock or that he is so relaxed but it made me laugh. Onwards and upwards Chrissy.
Elliot -7.5 Very good, surprised so little praise for him. A few good saves & started off the quick break for the 2nd goal. Well done Robbie.
Francis -7 Very good coming forward, crossed for 1st goal, but gave the ball to them for their 1st & where was he when they got their 2nd ? He should've been there
Dailly - 7 Usual VG game
Doherty - 7.5 One of / if not his best game for us. His blocking was immense.
Bessone - 6 Personally thought he was quite poor today. Strangely seemed to have divided opinion from VG to very poor.
Fry - 6 Not great, but boy does he have guts & tries hard.
Wagstaff - 6 Very quiet again. Think his time should be up for a while. I'd give Eccleston a chance on the right & rest / bench Waggy.
Semedo -7.5 Another excellent game
McCormack - 6 Poor 1st half, ok 2nd half. I'd have Racon back in if he's fully fit.
Jackson - 6.5 Quiet again, but extra half for the goal, which was also a brave effort- his oppo didn't put his head in.
Wright-Phillips - 7 Didn't do a great deal but that's now 3 in 3. Reminds me of Killer - if he scores 46 a season not doing a lot,I think even the boo boys will be happy
Eccleston - 7 Quiet 1st half, excellent 2nd half - keep him on the right please.
Abbott 8 Great performance. He did well against Bournemouth & Shrewsbury & couldn't understand why he's been so poor. Have to say no one was expecting that !
Elliot 7 Didn't do anything wrong Francis 8 Improving every game Dailly 6 Competent Doherty 6 As usual dominant in the air , looks dodgy against pace Bessone 6 Looks good going forward . Like his turn of pace. Wagstaff 5 Not his best game , but it seems he was not 100% fit McCormack 6 In this phase we are going to alternate him with Racon , steady and unspectacular Semedo 8 Superb performance Jackson 7 Steady filled in well with Bessone on the left to allow the Argentinian to go forward . Brave header for the goal gives him the extra point Eccleston 7 Looked better when switched to wide right Wright-Phillips 8 Good goal 3 in 3 , can't argue with that
Abbott 8 Game changer, shows we have genuine options up front Fry 6 Looks dodgy against pace on the wing . Like him to play CB over the coming weeks Reid NA Chased hard ,commited to the cause . Hope he gets a chance during the run in
Red Robinson - me and my son were just laughing at you giving Wagstaff the same score as Francis when I noticed you have commented to me. First things first, I don't care about his goals, he is the weak link. Secondly, if you scored him and Francis the same you couldn't have been there. I have noticed people slag off triers like Francis, but praise the Wagstaff's and the lloyd Sams. Fancy Dans, backhealers, purplebootwearers. Not for me.

Come on! Nobody can fault Wagstaff for hard work and effort! The man covers every blade of grass. Lloyd Sam perhaps although I think in his case, personally, it was lack of fitness because of his lung condition rather than lack off effort that made him sometimes appear lazy.
I would agree with you though that Francis gets unfair stick.
Masicat - sorry maybe i was a little hard on my mark for Francis (edited to a 7). I have never criticized a player on here. But you can see how hard it is when people knock a players who tries hard every game, particularly players who are young and home grown. They are still learning. :-)
Elliot - 7 - Steady. Good save onto post. Not at fault for goal. Francis - 8 - What an improvement! Odd misplaced pass - but huge improvement in crossing. Dailly - 7 - Mr reliable. Doherty - 6.6 Bessone - 6 - Looked OK - and tries hard going forward. Obviously not fit from the off. Fry - 6 - I thought he did OK Wagstaff - 6 - Bit invisible. yes he gets around a lot but something missing. Semedo - 9 MoM - Fantastic - we have got to sign him up before the summer! McCormack - 7 - Looks aggressive, fights harder than Racon for the ball and doesn't give up. Would like to see Racon back though... Jackson - 6.5 - Goal good. Awful first half - different player second half. Wright-Phillips - 7 - Has a knack of being in the wright place (sorry) Eccleston - 8 - Amazing acceleration and footballing vision for someone so young... Abbott - 8 - Should have been on from start. Eccles & BWP bit similar - need a hold-up man and Aboott can do that. Made a big difference.

But that's what he's there to do Eccleston - 8 second half performance was class, electric pace, the cross for bwp was perfect Abbott - 9 the unlikleyest of game changers, won headers, some nice touches and some good tekkers for the goal, pleased for him!
can't see how everyone is rating francis, seems like he makes a mistake every week
You're absolutely right. He dosen't even deserve a 5 as he made A mistake. Nobody else in the whole game did anything wrong and all the other players would have been able to put in a better cross for Jackson to score.
Jeez he has a good game and still people want to give him shit.
