Henderson - 7.5 Some good saves, confident and really part of a renewed team spirit. Solly - 7 As tenacious as ever, a few passes and crosses going awol but a great effort. Teixeira - 6.5 Important calm presence . Lennon - 6.5 Fox - 7 I felt he had a good second half.

Henderson ... 8 :Thank god for a top keeper Solly ... 8.5 : A Solly 8 with one side tackle that deserved a point 5 Teixeira ... 7 : Brings stability - got mugged for the pen a bit Lennon ... 7 : One moment, but looks good next to a proper centre half Fox ... 7 : Good game, getting back to where he was before his form slip Gudmundsson ... 7.5 : That's better now Cousins ... 9.5 (MOTM : This is the player I know we have. I'm sorry to give a negative, but I think he carried JJ a bit. Jackson ... 6.5 : Good freekick, but legs don't allow him to influence the game. Against better teams playing this formation we need a bit more. Bergdich ... 8 : I wa simpressed - played an important part throughout Makienok ... 9 : I have always thought he would do well if team played to his strengths. Could be a big asset in fight ahead. Great game. Vetokele ... 7.5 : You could see that player we thought was a bit special last season coming back.
Riga 10: Given that all he could do for the Hull game was to watch from teh dugout - I think his influence over the subsequent two games has been immense. Where as even we could see th eprevious loser didn't have a clue, we know that this bloke has more than a clue.
Henderson - 8; some good saves, assured on crosses, more creative than I've seen before in his distribution, influential Solly - 8; Solly Teixeira - 6.5; not quite as commanding as I had expected and got caught for pace on occasion, but steady Lennon - 7.5; I've seen him partner Bauer, Saur (briefly), Johnson and now Teixeira, - in each case I felt HL gave the better performance Fox - 7; sound, better than I've seen from him for some time - gaining in confidence, was even organising the line at times Berg Gudmundsson - 8.5; a strong technical performance, even aside from the two excellent assists and was conscientious in his defensive duties Cousins - 7.5; I've had reservations about JC, but this was a good all-round effort Jackson - 6.5; committed as always, but struggling physically to make the impact he'd want to; how do you value his leadership? I don't know, so not allowed for in my mark, but this is what gets him into the team I think Bergdich - 6.5; did well to lay on the first goal and worked hard defensively, but a bit loose at times in using the ball Makienok - 7.5; two good goals; although he might not do as well in the air as you'd expect for his height, he still made a good contribution; hold-up play could have been better Vetokele- 7.5; seemed always to get the ball under heavy pressure, but he's so hard to knock off the ball that he made the most of these thin pickings
Henderson - 7.5 gets an extra 0.5 for the header he saved, could have been a nervy ending had that gone in Solly - 7 a great effort on the right and won a corner from nothing all on his own shielding off a couple of players Teixeira - 6.5 loses 0.5 for conceding the penalty it was needless, otherwise decent enough Lennon - 7 not afraid to get stuck in Fox - 7 an improvement but the goal came from his area of the pitch Berg Gudmundsson - 8 made three goals, the JBG of old Cousins - 8 deserves better ratings with his pinpoint pass to JBG to set up Igor's goal Jackson - 7 won a few crunching tackles. He gave everything on the pitch, could see at 2-1 he refused to not win the game Bergdich - 7.5 huge impovement hopefully will make the same impact Bulot did last season. Fantastic assist for the 1st goal Makienok - 9 MOM only a hat-trick could have rounded off an almost perfect performance away from home. Hope this now shuts up the idiots who booed as his name was read out before the game. Vetokele - 8 dangerous up front, looked sharp and like the old Igor
Henderson 7 - some great saves from the number 1 Solly 7 -Showed desired and commitment of old, super Sol Texiera 6.5 - Solid but always ops for the long ball, seems to be our game plan from the back recently.. silly challenge for penalty Lennon 7- Very solid but always worried a mistake will come with him Fox 6 - Didn't play as bad as usual but still positional and confidence issues Gudmundsson 7 - 3 assists and back to his old self yesterday, showed fight Cousins 6 - Again... shows fight and some good challenges but passing sub standard and not much creativity Jackson 6.5 - Tries as much as he legs can give him! Nearly rolled back the years with that freekick Bergdich 7 - doesnt look the most amazing player but worked hard throughout up and down and got an assist to boot Makienok 8 - Makienok from the Hull game today, won headers, scored two and linked up well Vetokele 8 - Was class, 100% effort and a goal
Henderson 8 Solly 8 Teixeira 7 Lennon 7.5 Fox 7 Gudmundsson 9 Cousins 8 Jackson 8 Bergdich 8 Makienok 9.5 Vetokele 9
Just think the penalty when watching it again a few times now was actually slightly soft. And that if Jacko did have that extra yard of pace, we would 1) notice him a lot more and 2) would've probably had a decent career in the premier league.
We seem to have made this into an opportunity for the turning point. Cause boy that was a classy win, everyone played well minus a couple of mistakes here and there that need cutting out. & the run from Lookman for the 4th was a joy too.
