Amos: 7 - clean sheet. I dont think Plymouth had a shot on target but he did command his box well.
Dijksteel: 8 - strong tackler. A few raw mistakes but made it up with a few crunching quality tackles.
Pearce: 8 - won darn near every header. Always talking and supporting the team vocally.
Bauer: 8 - read the game well. Also good in air. Helped support Dijksteel when he got caught out a couple times.
Page: 8.5 - great strike for goal. Didnt get injured.
Forster-Caskey: 7.5 - always made himself available. Good range of distribution today.
Reeves: 6.5 - did some quality work off the ball closing down Plymouth. No size but makes up for it with hustling around to help defensive shape.
Aribo: 9 (motm) - commanded center park. Neat touches in tight areas. His lanky legs kept the ball out of Plymouths reach.
Fosu: 8 - when hes at full speed hes very dangerous. He was our best outlet from defense to offense. Drives into the Plymouth half looking for dangerous areas.
Ajose: 8 - unlucky not to score. He had a few great efforts. I like his willingness to run the channels and get behind the defenders. Him and Zyro play well together.
Zyro: 9 - big strong lad and has a good touch. His goal started with a nice link up play in midfield before continuing his run into the box. Held the ball up well and rarely turned the ball over.
I started this thread at half time, will my happiness remain for the next 50 minutes? You know what to do
Amos: 6.5 Dijkstreel: 7.5 - keep him In Pearce: 8 Bauer: 8 Page: 7 Forster-Caskey: 6.5 got better as the game went on Reeves: 6 worked hard Aribo: 7.5 lovely Fosu: 7 dangerous Ajose: 7 worked hard Zyro: 8.5 at last ; a centre forward
Amos: 7 wasted time in a skilled way Dijkstreel:8 strong boy, won so many tackles Pearce:8.5 a lion heart Bauer: 8 so solid Page: 7.5 super goal and great to see him play 90 minutes. Forster-Caskey: 8 much better today Reeves: 7 worked his socks off Aribo:8 lovely skill on ball. Fosu:7 good and bad, but still like him Ajose: 8 so unlucky not to score. Zyro: 8.5 still only 80% fit. Good 90 minutes in tank.
Amos 7 not a lot to do but did it well, extra half mark for first half save Dijksteel 9 absolute machine, undroppable on that form MOTM Pearce 7 led the troops well Bauer 6.5 quiet but did his job Page 7 sloppy at times but gets a +1 for his goal Forster-Caskey 8 influential in the middle Reeves 7.5 nice to see some effort Aribo 8.5 never stopped running, great link up play Fosu 6.5 hot and cold today but always a chance of something happening when he gets the ball Ajose 8 pulled their defenders all over the place, unlucky to miss out on a goal Zyro 8.5 big Josh but far better with his feet, a new favourite of mine
Amos: 9 - Why? Because he made a save @ 1-0 which wasn't just brilliant yet saw us go 2-0 up minutes later... Result would have been very different but for that moment Dijksteel: 7 - Bit of a shakey first half and a bit too casual; some of the tackles he made in the second were sublime, Holland missed him yesterday Pearce: 8 - Led by example, we saw the Bauer partnership from the start of the season today Bauer: 8 - Harshly booked in my opinion, like Pearce he didnt give their Striker a sniff Page: 7 - OMG!!... Best goal from a Full-Back I've ever seen, had that been in the Premier League they'd be raving for months Forster-Caskey: 7 - Much better from Jake today Reeves: 7 - Played some nice balls, massive improvement Aribo: 8 - So neat and tidy on the ball Fosu: 7 - Played well, still a bit greedy but kept Plymouth busy Ajose: 8 - Really deserved a goal Zyro: 8.5 - Linked up play between Striker and Midfield really well, took his goal really well and deserved a second right at the end
Amos: 6.5 nothing to do Dijksteel: 7 solid Pearce: 8 leader Bauer: 7.5 not troubled Page: 7 great goal but poor crossing Forster-Caskey: 7 tidy Reeves: 7 best game for us Aribo: 7.5 energetic Fosu: 8 scared them Ajose: 7.5 looked good Zyro: 8 battled, created, scored

I normally come on to this thread wondering whether I’ve been at the same game as everyone else and giving much lower marks than most. I’m doing the opposite today. That’s the best I’ve felt leaving the Valley in yonks and I’m tempted to give them all 10. But I won’t. Here’s my marks:
Amos: 8. One crucial save and very solid. Distribution as always was a little iffy and I’m amazed he wasn’t booked for time wasting.
Dijkstreel: 9. Brilliant. A little fortunate on occasion but he dug himself out of any holes he got himself into.
Pearce: 9: absolute captains performance. You could hear him from my seat organising things. Total donkey last week. Stallion today.
Bauer: 8.5. Commanding.
Page: 8. A little wayward at times but so good to see a proper left back at left back. Not a Da Siva going forward but what a goal!
Forster-Caskey: 8.5. Excellent today. And did a load of the hard graft as well as the poser stuff.
Reeves: 8. I doff my cap to him. He’s been utter shyte all season but he was excellent today. Wrong choices occasionally but I finally see what the fuss was about.
Aribo: 10. MOM. I thought he was flawless today.
Fosu: 8. You want to give him a slap occasionally due to the wrong choices he makes but he gives us that slightly flawed genius touch that makes you want to turn up every week.
Ajose: 9. Never ever thought I’d give this guy a standing ovation. Tireless and really sharp. If he can keep it up he’s a real bonus. My jury is out but fair play to him
Zyro: 8. When he gets properly fit this bloke will be a player.
Marshall. Honourable mention. We were getting exposed down the left and he cane on and shored it up brilliantly.
Amos: 7 Dijkstreel: 7.5 did well, needs to work on his throws though Pearce: 7.5 Bauer: 7.5 Page: 8 extra .5 for great goal Forster-Caskey: 7.5 Reeves: 7.5 Aribo: 7 Fosu: 6.5 some poor decisions Ajose: 8 deserved a goal, good shot in 2nd half Zyro: 8 excellent hold up play, great goal
Amos: 8 solid Dijksteel; 8.5 superb second half Pearce: 8 he’s back at last Bauer: 8 strong and resilient Page: 8 great goal Forster-Caskey; 7.5 Reeves: 8.5 is this the player Robinson thought he had signed ? Aribo; 9 take it all back. Superb Fosu; 8 Tired second half and often makes the wrong decision, but excellent. Ajose; 8 unlucky not to score. Kept running, best game in the shirt Zyro; 9 MoM and a real handful.
Amos: 7 extra point for playing when not 100% Dijkstreel: 8 MOM contender Pearce: 7 Bauer: 7 Page: 8 Terrific goal and played very well. Forster-Caskey: 7.5 Not a Jake fan but excellent today. Reeves: 7 Aribo: 8 just wow! Fosu: 7 Ajose: 7.5 Tidy with an eye for goal. Zyro: 7.5 Excellent goal.
Marshall: n/a as Sillybilly said he covered the right side of defence very well. Sarr: n/a Maloney: n/a Congrats to the kid.
Amos: 6.5 Not a lot to do, but tipped shot onto post at 1-0 Dijkstreel:8.5 a star - immense 2nd half after an ordinary 1st Pearce:8.0 played well Bauer: 8.5 won absolutely everyrthing in the air Page: 7.5 great goal. Forster-Caskey: 8 very good Reeves: 8 thought he played very well today and looked a threat with the ball throughout. Aribo:7 solid.. Fosu:7.5 very good - so much skill. Ajose: 7 worked hard. Zyro: 8.5 played so well, Magennis, who's he?
