Bauer: 7.5 a decent display but the second goal seemed to come from where he was marking. EXTRA HALF POINT FOR UNLIKELY ASSIST FROM OPPOSITION GOAL-LINE
Pearce: 8 MOTM a very dominant and battling display - his kind of game
Sarr: 7.5 a couple of ropey moments early on but they had no joy off him thereafter, and he scored!
Solly: 7 mostly good, they did have some joy down his side but he linked up well with the midfield
Aribo: 6.5 has the tendency to dither - did ok but I'm not sure we've found his best position yet
Pratley: 5 I'm beginning to fear that this is the farewell tour, and not a glorious one either
Page: 7 good assist, couple of mistakes but largely solid
Ajose: 5 not good was he
Taylor: 7.5 ran all day and got his reward. Worryingly cocked up a clear one on one
Grant; 7 took various wrong options...except the one that got us that second goal
Reeves: 7.5 added a bit of class and notched an assist
Lapslie: 8 what a difference he made! We need that energy and drive in the middle

Thought it was very harsh dropping Phillips but Steers distribution was better
Bauer: 7.5 - Him and Pearce dealt extremely well with Akinfenwa, extra slight mark for the assist
Pearce: 8 - Great game from him, led well
Sarr: 6 - Gets a point for the goal, was at fault for the first goal and dithered on the ball at the wrong times
Solly: 7 - One of the better performers from the First-Half, did well in the second
Aribo: 6.5 - Dithered a bit too much on the ball yet was better with Reeves and Lapslie playing
Pratley: 5 - Poor game yet gets a point for the bad challenge he took, we've needed someone to do that for a few years
Page: 7 - Did well to get us the opening goal, not a bad game, not standout
Ajose: 7 - As already said, he's a Striker not Attacking Midfielder yet did his best and didnt hide during our poor spell
Taylor: 8 - Already a cult hero for me, deserved his goal, terrorised their Defence
Grant: 7 - Terrorised their defence with his pace, didnt really get a sniff at goal though
Reeves: 7.5 - Did well from the bench, could be an important player this season
Lapslie: 8 - Worked his bloody socks off yet why didnt he shoot when he was clear through?
Referee: 5 - Would have had an 8 for his First-Half display, the second half though he was bloody awful

Lapslie: 8 MOM changed the game
Steer: 7 - didn't look at fault for goals. Two wonderful long goal kicks for Taylor to chase.
Bauer: 7.5 - looked solid. Extra .5 point for assist - though in all honesty he was woefully out of position!
Pearce: 8.5 - MOTM - handled The Beast as if he were a Bunny.
Sarr: 8 - Love Naby! Well-taken goal. Plays out of defense really well.
Solly: 8 - better going forwards than defending. Linked up well down his side, where we got most of our joy.
Aribo: 6.5 - a bit anonymous at times. Not sure we know his best position.
Pratley: 6 - did the dirty work, generally an honest player, but two nasty challenges in our last two games
Page: 7.5 - really rate Page, he offers a good attacking threat and usually good crosses. Occasionally caught out in possession though which can be a concern.
Ajose: 6.5 - tried hard, not quite on the same wavelength as others - could be blamed on lack of playing time with them. Sometimes tries to be too flash.
Taylor: 8.5 - also MOTM - second half he was a nightmare for them, constantly running at their defence. Would have been on hand to tap in if they hadn't OG'd our first. Should have had another with the 1-v-1.
Grant: 7 - not as involved as usual but some good runs and makes a lot of space for passes to come into. Fluffed his 1-v-1 which he'll be gutted about.
Reeves: 7.5 - made a real difference when he came on. Lots of energy and a touch of skill.
Lapslie: 8 - I think someone put it eloquently elsewhere on this site: he plays like we'd play if we played for Charlton. Love watching him, he adds a lot of energy, drive, and desire, and really changed things when he came on. Links up really well with Solly down the right.

Solly: 6 Worked hard but they did look dangerous down his side
Aribo: 6 Some good, some not so good
Pratley: 5.5 Worked hard as usual but not as good as previous games
Page: 7 Another solid game
Ajose: 5 Worked hard but not worth a starting place based on today
Taylor: 7 Poor first half, a real handful 2nd half. Needs to do it for 90 mins.
Grant; 7.5 MOM He never stopped working, caused their defence problems.

Steer: 7.5 seemed calm under pressure, the defence let him down for the goals, kicked well twice to put Taylor one on one!
Bauer: 6 steady BFG performance
Pearce: 8.5 dealt with “the beast” really well, I bet he’s got some bruises and that he enjoyed it! Good club captain, no fear!
Sarr: 6.5 at fault for the first goal but did score a blinder!
Solly: 7.5 Solid Solly! Really good to see him back looked much better (like Sarfend) with Lapslie in front of him
Aribo: 7 Struggled in the first half in our “two man” midfield
Pratley: 6 As above overrun in first half 2 against 5, not skillful will get reds and yellows but a good influence to have in the squad
Page: 7 good performance, hope he don’t get injured
Ajose: 4 played to link the front two? I think he simply did not do that, pleased he went off
Taylor: 9 Mom for second half performance, a propa handful for thier centre and left backs
Grant; 6.5 I do think he’s improving this was not his best effort, but he worked hard
Reeves: 7 finally a performance worth noting, made a difference 2nd half
Lapslie: 7.5 got to like this kid, all effort and running no fear of opposition
Thought we were badly set up first half, mark of a good manger is can he change it? Bowyer 8.5!

Bauer: 8 - applied himself to the task at hand and put his head in where others would be afraid to put their foot.
Pearce: 8 - see above.
Sarr: 8 - Oh Naby Sarr, he plays up front...
Solly: 7 - didn't do anything wrong, looked OK going forward
Aribo: 7 - some nice touches but not involved enough
Pratley: 4 - a lump, a vicious lump, a not very good vicious lump
Page: 7 - not everything worked but what did was good
Ajose: 6 - played completely out of position
Taylor: 8 - really put himself about and could have ended up in hospital; spared Bauer's blushes, who should have got the second, by being in the right place at the right time for his goal.
Grant; 7 - worked hard, nearly got in from Taylor's through ball in the first half.
Reeves 4, Lapslie 7: I wondered how I'd tell two small blonds apart, then I noticed one was good and the other was Reeves. About the only thing Lapslie did really wrong was passing to Reeves instead of shooting.
