Amos: 5: Release it quicker! Konsa: 6 Forward! Pearce: 5 Caught on the ball. Nearly cost us the match. Bauer: 7 Actually happy to run with the ball Sarr: 6 Aribo: 6 Worked hard Forster-Caskey: 5 Poor Marshall: 5 Worked hard but ineffective Reeves: 6 Fosu-Henry: 5 Where was the Fosu we remember? Magennis: 5 Ajose: 5 Zyro: 6.5 Won headers, played through ball of the day.
Kaikai did the two best tackles of the day. At least he looked gutted when his shot went sailing over the bar. We can't shoot, and we're rubbish in dead ball situations.
Amos: 6.5 good saves to keep it level Konsa: 6 didn't get forward enough Pearce: 6.5 one dreadful error, otherwise solid Bauer: 7.5 huge stuff as usual Sarr: 7 defended stoutly and did well getting forward in the second half, a couple of giveaways and a terrible shot mind Aribo: 7 showed good touch and presence I thought Forster-Caskey: 5 where has he gone Marshall: 6 a couple of good balls in but mostly ineffective Reeves: 6 thing is, he is tidy and gets around the pitch. but we don't have the set-up to suit him and looked better after he came off and we went two up front Fosu-Henry: 6 so threatening, so many poor decisions. take him off set pieces NOW Magennis: 5 there was no point really although with a partner who knows Ajose: 6.5 looked quite handy Zyro: 6 ditto
Amos: 6 steady and slow Konsa: 5.5 loves a pass back Pearce: 5.5 nearly blew it. Bauer: 6 steady. Sarr: 5.5 no full back. Aribo: 6.5 worked hard and kept trying. Forster-Caskey: 5.5 slow and ponderous Marshall: 5 no end product Reeves: 6 a couple of half chances Fosu-Henry: 6.5 the good the bad and the ugly corners. Magennis: 4 no comment. Ajose: 6.5 played ok alongside Zyro Zyro: 6 played ok alongside Ajosie.
Amos: 6.5 - Clean sheet. His poor distribution forced himself to come up with a couple big saves. Doesnt give up many rebounds.
Konsa: 6.5 - played well defensively but didnt get forward much at all.
Pearce: 6 - overall steady performance. Good positioning. Not troubled too much.
Bauer: 6.5 - played good possession out of the back. Won all his headers.
Sarr: 6 - looks awkward at fullback. Good left foot on him. Rarely offered a option going forward.
Aribo: 7 - looked for the ball constantly and hustled all over the pitch. If he bulked up a bit he could really overpower the midfield.
Forster-Caskey: 5 - we tried to play through JFC but he didnt have any cutting edge stuff today. When he did try to break down a stubborn Fleetwood, his passes were erratic.
Marshall: 6 - only good thing is he stays wide and spreads the defence. Problem is when he gets it, hes so predictable. Credit he did have a couple decent crosses.
Reeves: 5 - for a CM he doesnt get on the ball enough. Id like to see a more intelligent footballer in the CAM role. At least Zyro has size to offer in center park.
Fosu-Henry: 5.5 - good at full speed, but his crossing, shooting, and passes were awful today.
Magennis: 6 - a few neat link up plays. Hes at his best when he checks to the ball after starting in a deep position, forcing gaps to open up around him.
Ajose: 6 - thought him and Zyro looked good together. Needs a full 90min to show his value.
Zyro: 6 - won some good headers at CF. Id like to see a shot on target from him. Got in a couple good positions but nothing resulted.
Amos: 7 nothing to do Konsa: 5 not a full back Pearce: 6 no nonsense but one bad error Bauer: 7 good on the ball Sarr: 5 not a full back Aribo: 6 will be a key player next year Forster-Caskey: 4 why does he need 3 touches all the time Marshall: 5 no support Reeves: 5 lightweight Fosu-Henry: 6 great running but delivery was poor Magennis: 4 needs a few games on the bench Ajose: 7 I like him. Good touch, good movement and great finish for the off side goal that looked onside Zyro: 6 won headers
Amos: 6 Clean Sheet Konsa: 6 Clean Sheet Pearce: 6 Clean Sheet Bauer: 6 Clean Sheet Sarr: 6 Clean Sheet Aribo: 6 Tries but also ineffective Forster-Caskey: 4 Really lost his way, but he has never been fantastic. Marshall: 6 not a bad game by any stretch, just not an effective one. Tried a bit. Reeves: 4 Not as bad as many make out but needs to be pushing up more to be effective. Fosu-Henry: 4 Just for those corners! Attacks well but tries to do too much. Magennis: 4 Is he trying to fool us, pretty sure he only chases lost causes these days on purpose. Ajose: 6 Ran a bit, passed a bit, but ineffective - Tried a bit Zyro: 6 - As above
Amos: 7 - in one sense perfect but not much to do Konsa: 5 - seemed out of sorts today, probably because he's not a full back Pearce: 7 - decent except one mad moment in second half Bauer: 7 - good game Sarr: 6 - did ok but just not a full back Aribo: 6.5 - did well at times but wished he played 10 yards further forward Forster-Caskey: 6 - constantly tried to get things going but generally from too deep a position Marshall: 6 - quite a few "almosts" but never quite right Reeves: 4.5 - bet Magennis jumps for joy when he's named as his main partner! Fosu-Henry: 7 - at least some entertaining moments and if we going to get something it was through him I thought Magennis: 6 - off the pace but so isolated at times. Ironically when went wide was the only player who tried to get it in early. Almost as if he was making a point and saying, try this when I'm in there! Ajose: 6.5 - quite lively when came on, deserves a start Zyro: 7 - put himself about and more threatening than Magennis
Konsa: 7 - Solid if unspectacular going forward but attacks didn't come down his side.
Pearce: 5.5 - That mistake on the halfway line. I thought he was a bit better today until that. That is completely unacceptable from our most experienced defender and captain for the day. He also likes to drop onto the goal line when the ball is in the 18 yard box which is weird.
Bauer: 8.5 MOTM - He is very good at defending and bailed Pearce out on more than one occasion.
Sarr: 7.5 - Marauding left back. Thought he was very good today.
Aribo: 5.5 - Was there but often made the wrong decision in the final third. Looked slow and ponderous on the ball.
Forster-Caskey: 6.5 - A more reserved and tidier role. Nearly had the defense splitting pass that broke them down only for Ajose to be ruled offside.
Marshall: 6.5 - Drifted in and out but got to the byline and got crosses in on a few occasions. They weren't very accurate, but that's an improvement.
Reeves: 7 - Would have liked to have seen him with Zyro and/or Ajose in front of him. Any little breakthrough we had either came from him or Fosu. He looks after the ball well and takes up clever positions. It's just he gets doubled and tripled up because there is no one running beyond him.
Fosu-Henry: 7 - A lot of hard work, a lot of feigning to shoot or cross, not a lot of end product. To be fair when there is no overlapping fullback and not much movement ahead of you or beside you, it makes things very hard and he often got doubled up as soon as he had the ball.
Magennis: 6 - He is not helped by how static the attacking three and midfield two are. No one runs past him. No one makes out to in runs. That said he would have done well to drop deep and leave a space there to potentially create space for others. He is not best suited to games aggainst tigght, compact defenses where he needs to make little touches and interchange with the attackers.
Ajose: 6.5 - Looked lively and looked to drop deep and run at them. Unfortunately that's not his forte and it wasn't always effective. Why he was offside on that ball from JFC I don't know.
Zyro: 6.5 - He looks good with the ball at his feet. Unfortunately, by the time he comes on we're just looking to lump it forward.
Kaikai: n/a Worked hard and tracked back well. Didn't seem to offer much going forward.
Konsa: 7 - Solid if unspectacular going forward but attacks didn't come down his side.

Different game watched to me.
Surely those scores reflect a comfortable home win against a very poor team, not a toothless 0-0?
Amos: 6, didn't have a lot to do Konsa: 6, Pearce: 5 dropped point for nearly costing us Bauer: 7 reasonable game, pushed on, probably MOM which says it all. Sarr: 5 average, offers little going forward so doesn't work for Robinsons usual formation Aribo: 6 Average going forward Forster-Caskey: 6 Ok, think he'd look better in a 442 Marshall: 5 Worked hard but ineffective when it'd not 442 Reeves: 6 where is the player who used to terrorise us, didn't play bad but..... Fosu-Henry: 6 looked a threat at times Magennis: 4 I just don't know what to say about him anymore Ajose: 6 give him a run in a 442 Zyro: 6.5 drop Magennis and play him in a 442, he'll get goals and make goals.
On reflection overnight I believe in my frustration I was a little hard on Sarr. I have amended my mark from 3 to 4.5. No point in beating your dog because it can’t play the piano.
Amos: 6 Konsa: 5 (play it forward) Pearce: 6 Bauer: 7 Sarr: 6 Aribo: 7 Forster-Caskey: 5 Without Kashi, his link up up play isnt at fluid, cross field balls not accurate. Marshall: 4 Final ball often poor. Reeves: 5 Fosu-Henry: 7 Magennis/Tresor Kandol mark II: 3 Ajose: 7 Zyro: 7

Forster-Caskey: 5 where has he gone

Reeves: 6 thing is, he is tidy and gets around the pitch. but we don't have the set-up to suit him and looked better after he came off and we went two up front

Magennis: 5 there was no point really although with a partner who knows
Ajose: 6.5 looked quite handy

Aribo: 6. worked hard but to no great effect
Poser-Caskey: 5. looked pretty but was generally crap.
Marshall: 3 no end product. Slow. Busted flush.
Reeves: 4. Looks like the mascot got to play. Neat and tidy but utterly ineffectual.
Fosu-Henry: 6. Our only creative outlet but loses marks for poor choices and even poorer corners
Magennis: 3. I always cut him slack for ploughing a lone furrow but he was toilet today.

Watched him for lots of the game , he never makes a mistake, never gives the ball away. Very consistent.
Closest to scoring today when he blocked the ball 1st half , it rebounded and he forced a last ditch save.
That said Messi he ain't!

The back four did all that could be expected of them.
Aribo needs to drive at the opponent's defence more.
JFC is not the great passer he thinks he is but who do you play there instead?
Marshall, Mag. Contributed bugger all.
Reeves and Fosu-Henry always look like they may make something happen. Sadly, most of the time they don't and Fosu's shooting today was appalling.
Ajose and Zyro get 8 because they were both really up for it and gave us much more up front that Mag does.
