Pope - 7.5 - Nervy at the start but after the Phillips save looked very assured Solly - 7- Good battle with Mackie which he probably edged, solid. Bauer - 8 - Without trying to draw to many comparissons reminded me very much of Ben Haim, looks a shrewd buy Diarra - 7.5- Much like Pope started Shakey but absolutely dominant in the air against a very good striker in Austin Fox -7.5- Great goal, another who grew massively as the game progressed Gudmundsson -8.5- It is scary to think where we'd be without this man Ba -7- Moments of Brilliance with some sloppy touches, think he will improve on this performance though, also very strong. Kashi - 8- Expected him to play the CDM role but was absolutely everywhere, Strong, Calm and a decent passer, the heart of Midfield. Cousins - 7- Put in a shift on the left exactly like Luzon wanted, when we stuck him in CM for the last 15-20 he showed how effective he is. Ahearne-Grant -6- Needs some football, A lot of potential but still very Raw. he's unlcuky in the sense that a lot see him as the next "Gomez." Makienok - 6- Won some headers, lost a fair few, actually looked better with the ball at his feet, confused me as a player. Watt - 7.5 - Typical Watt performance, tricky, sometimes annoying but overall a very classy player. His ability to take the ball round players is incredible. Berditch N/a Ceballos n/a
Pope - 6.5 hardly troubled, crap kicking, good diving save Solly - 7 got stuck in with 'crazy arms' Mackie Bauer - 7.5 proper defending, get it out and away, but can pass too Diarra - 7 Barely missed a header, miskicked a couple of times Fox - 8 kept the winger quiet, well taken goal Gudmundsson - 7.5 cracking effort for the free kick, got things going when we were lacking in the first half Ba - 7 jittery and caught in possession first half, grew into the game Kashi - 9 MOM everywhere Cousins - 7 kept drifting in from the left, was getting frustrated and didn't influence the game as much as he can, but he was in the wrong position Ahearne-Grant - 6 inexperience and youthful exuberance meant he kept dropping too deep, which was Makienok's job. Needs to work on his positioning in relationship to others Makienok - 7 not going to score a lot of goals but harrasses defenders well and will wind a lot of people up. Needs to win more headers given his size Watt - 8 changed the pace of the game when he came on, good goal and worries defenders with his running Berditch N/a Ceballos n/a
Pope - 8 - fantastic handling, punching and reflex stop Solly - 7.5 Bauer - 8 - strong and solid, row z defender Diarra - 7.5 Fox - 7 - a few shaky moments, great strike for the goal Gudmundsson - 7 - superb free kick, some threatening moments Ba - 7 Kashi - 9 - superb, kishishev mk. 2? Cousins - 8 Ahearne-Grant - 5.5 - just looked out of his depth Makienok - 7.5 - great defensively Watt - 9 - so exciting when he gets on the ball
Pope - 6.5 Happy for him more than anything else. A couple of really good saves that were swerving all over the place but he dealt with them. Also claimed a couple of crosses well. Solly - 7 Solid as usual. Bauer - 8 Very impressed, looked solid. Diarra - 7 Did well other than a miss kick and a mix up towards the end. Fox - 7 Seems to have been taken tips on how to defend from Solly. Best I've seen him play. Gudmundsson - 7.5 Classy payer. Ba - 6.5 Disappointing first half but improved in the second half. Kashi - 7.5 Like the look of this lad. Looked aggressive and got stuck in. Cousins - 7 Not ideal having him on the left but he got involved. Have Fox good support. Ahearne-Grant - 5.5 Not his fault, he's just not ready yet, Didn't get a sniff. Makienok - 6.5 Not effective in the first half but looked much better with Watt alongside him. Watt - 8.5 Changed the game completely. Wouldn't have won it without him. As soon as he scored it gave everyone a lift and a bit of a confidence boost.
Pope - 7.5; some very good saves and decent command (couple of things to work on though). Solly - 7; juuuuuuust about coped with Mackie (who I'd LOVE at Charlton cos he's a right little shite, if that makes sense) Bauer - 7.5; like Michael Morrison but better. Diarra - 7.5; really surprised me. Didn't think he was any good pre-season but he's proved me very wrong today. Fox - 7.5; solid and a good goal. Gudmundsson - 7; didn't do too much - great free kick and always looked like a threat. Like his interplay with others. Ba - 6.5; looked a little behind because - confusingly - he was always looking for the next pass, making him slightly out of step with what was actually going on. Moves WAY too slowly for my liking. Kashi - 8; solid. Kashishev as I will now dub him absolutely smashed it. Really good performance - works hard, passes quickly, makes decisions quickly. If only he was technically sound (hence Kish comparisons I suppose)... Cousins - 7; worked his balls off and passed well. Don't like him on the wing though, mitigating his effectiveness. Ahearne-Grant - 6; only started apparently because Watt had a bit of an incident... Didn't quite look ready. But he will be one day and he will absolutely tear the opposition to shreds in time. Makienok - 7; great defensively but attack-wise still leaves stuff to be desired - and we did sign him as a striker. Decent linkup with Watt.
Watt - 8; took his goal well and looks like such a threat with the dribble. So excited to see what he'll be like this season. Bergdich N/A Ceballos N/A
Pope - 6.5 hardly troubled, crap kicking, good diving
Early contender for meanest rating of the season. His kicking was shaky to begin with, but 2nd half was very good. And the "hardly-troubled" one made a first - half save described by the QPR Twitter feed as "stunning "
