Rudd: 6 - had my heart in mouth once but otherwise sound Solly: 7 - had a really good game for me, seems well in control and surprisingly pacey Fox: 7 - good positioning, good crosses, some very good tackles. Even boo boys around me were praising him Bauer: 6 - generally solid but his distribution has gone a bit wayward Pearce: 7 - very solid Holmes: 8 - goodness he can dribble with a turn of speed Ulvestad: 6 - not bad, not great Crofts: 5 pretty ordinary for me Lookman: 5 - ditto Magennis: 8 - very good and unlucky not to score a couple Ajose: 5 - got into good space but missed a couple that should have been nailed on. Hope he starts firing soon.
Botaka: looked very good Novak: looked a bit slow in the beginning but scored and had a second chance as well so fair play.
Rudd 6 Solly 6 Bauer 7 Pearce 8 gets better each time I see him Holmes 7 cross for the goal made up for several poor one Ulvestad 6 Crofts 6 Got better as game went on Lookman 5 attitude not good today Magennis 7 Ajose 4 Missed 3 good chances, 2 in front of goal 1 to prove Slade wrong.

Rudd: 6 Few opportunities to create an impression one way or the other.
Solly: 6.5 Looked to be struggling physically at times, carrying an injury maybe, but his usual competent all round performance. Shame about the shot though!
Fox: 6.5 Got done by Evans early on and also had to cope with Afryidi (?spelling) but stuck to his task and had a reasonable game.
Bauer: 7 Solid
Pearce: 7 Best game I've seen him play since he joined.
Holmes: 7.5 Deserved assist. Not everything came off for him by any means but he always puts in a shift and never hides.
Ulvestad: 6.5 Faded a bit in the second half but some good moments.
Crofts: 6.5 Better than last week and a nice ball for Ajose in the first half.
Lookman: 6 The boy is just 19 and perhaps the mental and physical demands of professional football are beginning to get to him. He looks jaded to me. Defenders have begun to rough him up a little bit and he hasn't yet learned how to cope.
Magennis: 7.5 Two decent headers and normal hardworking performance. My MOM narrowly from Ricky.
Rudd: 6.5 One OK save but didn't have much to do otherwise Solly: 7 Much better Fox: 4.5 Why is it that he gets roasted by every League One right winger? The weak link... Bauer: 7.5 Very solid Pearce: 7.5 Equally as solid Holmes: 5 Tried hard but lost the ball too often Ulvestad: 5.5 Tried to be positive Crofts: 4.5 Better second half but awful in first Lookman: 5 Looks tired; no ooomph! Magennis: 6.5 100% effort again but not one of his better games, despite nearly scoring Ajose: 6 Missed his two chances but did give the team a better balance
Slade - 5 The right substitutions at least
Ref - Seemed to lose it and was very inconsistent; not helped by a very poor west stand lino.
Rudd: 6 little to do, as usual. Solly: 6.5 good steady game Fox: 6 decent after the first 10 mins Bauer: 7 solid Pearce: 7 solid, best game for Charlton Holmes: 8 won us the game, with his run. MOM Ulvestad: 5.5 not great, worst game for a month Crofts: 6 adequate Lookman: 5.5 not great, kept losing possession Magennis: 7.5 good game, unlucky not to score, good saves by goalie Ajose: 6 had 2 great chances which he missed
Botaka: n/a why the hell isn't he playing ? Proper decent footballer Novak: n/a improving & great header for the goal
Rudd: 6 - not much to do. Fumbled one cross but generally sound. One of our most consistent players Solly: 6.5 - not extended. Would like to see him get forward more Fox: 6.5 - a difficult start to the game but did ok and got in some crunching tackles Bauer: 7 - some wayward distribution in the first half but generally classy and untroubled. I fear we could lose him in January Pearce: 7 - a very solid, no-nonsense performance. Tried to drive us on Holmes: 8 -MOM: skilful, direct and, as usual, worked like a Trojan. Not everything came off but he had the courage and determination to keep trying Ulvestad: 6 - a weak and static first half, better in the second Crofts: 6 - drove us forward towards the end of the game, although, by then, Chesterfield had dropped back 20 yards Lookman: 5 - looked tired, both physically and mentally, and his body language was poor. Maybe the club should give him a week off to rest up and recharge his batteries Magennis: 7 - put in his usual shift and drew a couple of decent saves from their keeper Ajose: 5 - he desperately needs to put these sort of chances away. Hopefully, a goal or two will help him regain his confidence
Rudd: 6.5 not much to do but looked safe Solly:6.5 Steady Fox:6 Ok Bauer:7 Decent Pearce:6.5 Defnsively fine, but distribution could sometimes have been better Holmes:7 Great Cross for the winner Ulvestad:6 Important part of the team even though yesterday wasn't his best. Crofts:6 Looked tidy but didn't win enough 5--50s for me Lookman:6 Not his best. Maybe trying too hard. Would like to say him played down the middle. Magennis:7.5 Key member of the side - MOTM for me Ajose:5.5 Shored have scored at least one from his two great chances.
Botaka should have come on earlier, but was very good when he did.
Rudd: 7 good save from Evans, nothing else to do. Solly: 6.5 bit iffy at times against their tricky winger Fox: 7 did really well today going forward and back. Bauer: 7 just what you'd expect from him. Solid performance. Pearce: 7.5 starting to grow on me now, wasn't too sure at first but proving to be solid. Holmes: 8 usual amazing work rate, inevitably runs himself down a blind alley a few times a game but God knows what we'd do without him. Ulvestad: 6.5 decent, still waiting for him to really push up the pitch with the ball, feel like Slade's really restricting his ability. Crofts: 7 another one growing on me. Does his job to a t. Think he gets slack because of the lack of creative license given by Slade to him and Ulvestad Lookman: 6 an off game. Some of the abuse he gets is unbelivable. Then fans wonder why so many promising players fall off. Fans like you. Magennis: 6.5 done everything he could, good hall through to Ajose and bar some decent saves could have had a goal or 2 himself. Ajose: 6 similar to Lookman, leave him alone. Come in in pretty awkward circumstances and IMO did well considering. Got in to the position we know he can but lack of confidence meaning he snatched at chances. Can still see him developing very well if given the chance by Slade.
