Amos: 6.5 Dijksteel: 7 Konsa: 7.5 Best player on pitch by miles Lennon: 7 DaSilva: 6 Kashi: 6.5 Marshall: 6.5 Aribo: 7 first touch poor today but some stuff too Reeves: 6 Mavididi: 7 Magennis: 5 missed a sitter. Isolated but he is so poor at the minute
I missed the first 20 minutes with a tuition-related injury but I thought that was a good display in adversity
Amos 7 had almost zero to do Dijksteel 7.5 His best game so far maybe? Konsa 8 Far too good for 'em - if it's his last for us it's a worthy note to finish on Lennon 6.5 Beaten in the air and poor with the ball, but clean sheet so can't be too harsh JDS 7 Some really lovely work down the wing. Passed it out of play more than he usually does, albeit on an atrocious pitch Kashi 7.5 Apart from a bad free-kick I thought he was fairly huge for us today Marshall 7.5 A really good outlet down the wing and had the hunger to score his goal Aribo 8.5 MOM Awesome display on a tough surface. Ran the show Reeves 7.5 I thought we were really purring in the second half and he was a big part of this Mavididi 7.5 It feels like every game he'll either score a solo goal, or miss one. Had their defender terrified Magennis 5 The fall guy as with every week. Had his chance to score and took it awfully. Effort is on show, at least, if not much else
Amos: 7 didn't have much to do Dijksteel: 6.5 decent, frightened me a few times (announcer called him Dijeekeesteel) Konsa: 8 looked more like the £4m player this match (announcer called him Erzi) Lennon: 6.5 see Dijksteel DaSilva: 8 linked well with Mavididi, most good moves came that from him Kashi: 7.5 commanded well Marshall: 8 looked lively down the wing for once and scored Aribo: 8 played a few good passes and got the assist (announcer called him Abiro) Reeves: 7.5 wanted to get on the ball, put himself around, needs to get his head up more Mavididi: 8.5 motm great to have him back almost everything good came through him almost scored after wriggling through their whole defense Magennis: 6 should have scored his 1v1 but looked more useful than in the past
Ripley: 10 great to see his good-natured response to the banter!
Amos: 7 not much to do but commanded his area no issue with distribution Dijksteel: 7 acquitted himself ok Konsa: 7 looked comfortable all game Lennon: 6.5 got booked early 1st half nothing silly after that stuck to the task DaSilva: 7.5 too good for L1 linked well with Steph Kashi: 7.5 dictated play with a little more intent today Marshall: 7.5 getting better gave their LB a difficult afternoon managed to score Aribo: 7.5 Could have scored early 2nd half great work to set up MM for the goal Reeves: 8 Best I've seen him play in the 10 role wanted and used ball well Mavididi: 7.5 mustard tore their RB a new one great skills unlucky not to score Magennis: 6 toiled manfully missed two good chances 1st half though, manned the pumps in defence to good effect in last 10mins to see game out
Amos: 7 - clean sheet. Didnt have any saves to make. He takes a long time to distribute but does his best to keep possession.
Dijksteel: 6.5 - a physically stong and athletic fullback. Difficult to beat 1v1. Defended well. Didnt get forward much. Mopped up as last man a couple times.
Konsa: 7 - positionally very good. Applied great pressure to the Bury strikers to keep them unsettled all game and playing backwards.
Lennon: 7.5 - won a ton of headers late when Bury were lumping it into the box. Sometimes clumsy but puts 110% into every tackle.
DaSilva: 7 - ran tirelessly to the final whistle. Very neat w the ball in tight areas. Makes himself available offensively while keeping defense responsibilities the priority. Consistently a good performance from him.
Kashi: 6.5 - looked fit and ticked the midfield on. Read the game well today in center park.
Marshall: 6.5 - scored a simple goal one time from Aribo which was deserved. Sometimes aimless crossing when he Dribbles into bad areas.
Aribo: 7 - beautiful assist and move for the goal. Hes a tall lanky lad and there is potentially a very good player in there to start really bossing the midfield on a every game basis.
Reeves: 8 - MOTM. Once he got into the game, he was involved in a lot of great buildup. Almost scored on a early diving header. Sprayed the ball around wing to wing. Late in the game is was Reeves picking up the loose balls in midfield after our defense was under pressure.
Mavididi: 7 - his flair comes w positive and negatives. As he can beat his man with ease but also tries cute stuff in dangerous areas. Great run when his deflected shot hit the post.
Magennis: 6 - early on looked like his old self. Turned his man beautifully once, then he really Should have scored on a 1v1 but instead of taking a touch to settle and another touch to bury a shot, he tried a weak one time inside foot volley which was very very poor. After that miss he started to shy from the ball.
Amos: 6.5 Dijksteel: 7 Konsa: 7.5 Lennon: 7 DaSilva: 7 Kashi: 7.5 Marshall: 6.5 seems a bit harsh considering he scored, but runs down blind alleys and his crossing today was poor Aribo: 7 Reeves: 7.5 Best game for us by miles Mavididi: 7 Magennis:6.5
Amos: 6.5 had nothing much to do Dijksteel: 7.5 getting better Konsa: 8 MOTM Lennon: 7 solid DaSilva: 7 helped Mavdidi a lot Kashi: 7 Captain for the day and led by example Marshall: 6.5 can be frustrating but popped up with the goal. Aribo: 7 great set up for the goal needs to get forward more. Reeves: 6.5 started well but faded 2nd half. Mavididi: 7.5 great runs but sometimes takes on the same player twice and loses the ball. Magennis: 6 missed two good chances.
Amos - 6.5 Nothing of note to do but assured and feel 6 would be bit harsh considering he done nothing wrong. Dikjsteel - 7 Solid enough, can be caught out of positionally but understandable considering his age and natural CM. DaSilva - 7.5 Real class act, not much to do defensively but great to watch the link up with Stephy Konsa - 8.5 Rolls Royce display, dominate against an wily old pro. MOTM Lennon - 8 Commanding performance and as mentioned by, feel he's a great organiser and especially needed with age of defence. Marshall - 7 Pleased he got his goal, constantly works hard and thought he caused a threat today despite being doubled up on. Mavididi - 7.5 Great performance very Lookman like. Plays like he's in the playground which is great to see as I feel footballers are often too drilled these days Kashi - 7.5 Controlled the game, solid and kept things simple. Aribo - 7.5 Much like Kashi solid and great play to set the goal up. Reeves - 7 Best display I've seen from him in the number 10 role. Really good passing and moving. Mcgennis - 6 Just isn't happening for him right now. Easy chance with the chip.
Subs - Not enough time.
On a whole, we were depleted and you can only beat what is put in front of you. Frustrating that we should have scored 3 at least and instead were holding on at the end,
Amos: 7 didn't have much to do Dijksteel: 6.5 decent, frightened me a few times (announcer called him Dijeekeesteel) Konsa: 8 looked more like the £4m player this match (announcer called him Erzi) Lennon: 6.5 see Dijksteel DaSilva: 8 linked well with Mavididi, most good moves came that from him Kashi: 7.5 commanded well Marshall: 8 looked lively down the wing for once and scored Aribo: 8 played a few good passes and got the assist (announcer called him Abiro) Reeves: 7.5 wanted to get on the ball, put himself around, needs to get his head up more Mavididi: 8.5 motm great to have him back almost everything good came through him almost scored after wriggling through their whole defense Magennis: 6 should have scored his 1v1 but looked more useful than in the past
Ripley: 10 great to see his good-natured response to the banter!
Dijksteel: 7 - Started very shakily but grew into the game and calmed down. Doesn't look a right back but needs must at the moment. He does have these moments where he steps into midfield and drives forward with the ball, which gives me hope for him when he's eventually played in his natural position.
Konsa: 8.5 - Got on the end of everything. Was the most experienced (in terms of league appearances) member of that back four, and the 20-year-old took on that mantel well. Really good game from him.
Lennon: 6 - Never convinced by him. Shaky on the ball. Lazy long balls into the channel. And at least once a game he gets caught under a diagonal ball that he should be getting to.
DaSilva: 8 - Never stops running. His linked up with Mav is very promising.
Kashi: 7 - The game passed him by in the first half with all the long balls, but in the second half he got his foot on the ball and really started to dictate play. Had some vital tackles down the stretch.
Marshall: 7 - +1 for the goal. Beyond that, it was largely the same old story for him. But he scored a crucial goal and hopefully that puts some confidence in him.
Aribo: 7.5 - +.5 for the lovely assist. He looks dangerous with the ball at his feet. He is good at holding on to it to draw defenders in, then beating them or laying it off. Not his best game, some sloppy touches, but it was a shit pitch. Got stuck in and provided a moment of class to break the deadlock. He is raw, but he looks very, very promising. It was around this time last year that it was rumored that big clubs were tracking him.
Reeves: 8 - So that's why we waited so long and brought in a player without a pre-season. He was everywhere, always wanting the ball in tight spaces, and turning and looking to make things happen. His ball control is absolutely excellent for this level. He works really hard off the ball, which we've desperately missed since Clarke went off the boil. More like this please. A fit and firing Reeves really could be the difference between making the playoffs and not.
Mavididi: 7 - Boy he's fun to watch, isn't he? Looks dangerous every time the ball is at his feet. Things didn't quite come off for him, and he was unlucky that he hit the post after a brilliant run. But I really look forward to an attacking three of him, Reeves, and Fosu.
Magennis: 6.5 - Thought he looked much better. A big difference was in the second half we played the ball to his feet and with his back to goal he held off his man, laid it off, and moved to create space. The miss was bad, but I think it was tougher than it looked, especially because Ripley was very clever in that he dummied to rush out then backed off. That said, a player with confidence lets the ball bounce and volleys it instead of the chip.
Hackett-Fairchild: n/a He's a big lad and stronger than he looks. Had a couple tidy touches. You can see in little flashes that he clearly has something about him. Forster-Caskey: n/a Jackson: n/a
