Referee: 8 - Best we've had this season, would have given him a 10 yet for a few strange second half decisions Commentators: 10 - Excellent and some good insights from the U23 Manager
Steer: 7 - Was going to get a "6" for having nothing to do all game but made a lovely save to keep his clean sheet Solly: 6.5 - Had a typical Solly type game yet then suddenly made some very strange defensive errors Bielik: 8 - Erm I think someone needs to tell Patrick to find a nice cushion for the bench Pearce: 7 - Dont want to mark him too low but barely noticed him tonight Sarr: 7 - Had one nervy moment right at the start of the game where he lost sight of the ball briefly but otherwise a nice game from Naby Pratley: 7 - Has been poor of late but thought the Pratley we saw at the start of the season has returned Cullen: 8.5 (MOTM) - Ran the show, class act, now go have a rest for a few weeks Aribo: 8 - Only bettered by Cullen on the pitch today, back in form!! Fosu: 7 - Did well to win the penalty, did better than in recent weeks Taylor: 6.5 - Scored a nice penalty, didnt do much else, clearly not fit Vetokele: 6 - Didnt really get a chance to shine
Grant: 6.5 - Really good effort saved by the Goalkeeper but couldnt get into the game today, maybe tired after Doncaster hence why he was a sub
Lapslie: 6 - Nice cameo from young George Marshall: 6 - I liked his effort today and think we'll see more of him if he continues to play like he has done the last few days
Ref: 6.5 - Some ifty decision, but could be said both ways tbh Steer: 7 did well Solly: 7 Bielik: 7.5, Solid Pearce: 7.0 Solid Sarr: 7.0 did well tonight Pratley: 6.5 (Did alright) Cullen: 8.5 (Ran the show) Aribo: 7.5 (did very well, neat and tidy) Fosu: 7 (Excellent first half) Taylor: 7 (Didn't look %100 but did okay) Vetokele: 6 (didn't look entirely fit before injury) Grant: 6.5 (unlucky with the header)
Lapslie: N.A Marshall: 6.5 (did a good job when he came on)
Steer: 7 - nothing to do until last 20 mins but stood up when called upon Solly: 6.5 got forward well.They looked best down his flank though. Bielik: 7 both CBs looked good Pearce: 7 both CBs looked good Sarr: 6 looks uncomfortable at CB let alone LB. Pratley: 8 MOM. Clever experienced showing. Got about and didn't put a foot wrong. Protected Solly well. Cullen: 7.5 ran the game for large parts. Hopefully not out for long. Aribo: 7 Tidy Fosu: 7 very good first half. Tired. Taylor: 7 Usual influential performance. Maybe a blessing that he's suspended for Mansfield Vetokele: 5. Nothing went for him. His touch was poor. He missed every header then got injured. Grant: 6.5 Nice touch and unlucky with header
Steer: 7 - Made one great save - nothing much more to do Solly: 6.5 - Was decent apart from panicked clearance against his own man Bielik: 8 - I thought he was excellent Pearce: 7.5 - Solid Sarr: 7.5 - Nice and solid, I love his weight of pass. It helps attacks flow. Pratley: 7 - Thought he competed well Cullen: 8.5 - (MOTM) - Thought he was everywhere tidying up and creating attacks Aribo: 7 - Was involved Fosu: 7 - was excellent first half, a bit invisible in the second. Nice bit of skill which invited the challenge for the pen Taylor: 7 - Battled well considering he didn't look fit Vetokele: 6 - Looked ok, then got injured Grant: 6.5 Unlucky not to score - their keeper made a great save - did ok
We looked a class apart first half and should have gone in 3 up. I hate it when we play a team that is clearly not as good as us and we spoil when ahead. It evens things up. Yes, difficult to see how we could lose that game, but if you are better, keep on imposing yourselves on them!
Thought Marshall did well again in his short cameo.
Referee: 7.5 not flawless Steer: 7 had so little to do Solly: 6 good first half then looked like he was carrying a knock in the second, or played like it Bielik: 8.5 the monster prospers onward Pearce: 7.5 a number of excellent interventions, still can't really pass, likes a foul Sarr: 7.5 loved it when he did his man then crossed it over the entire penalty area that's our Naby Pratley: 7 Did well at times when he wasn't being violent Cullen: 8 a supreme player at this level, hope he's back soon Aribo: 7.5 loves picking pockets Fosu: 7 won a penalty well, made some weird decisions besides that Taylor: 7 seemed to dominate their defenders and took his penalty well Vetokele: 6 had the opportunity to score an overhead kick, and missed the ball! oh igor Grant: 6 loves a missed chance
Lapslie: 6 yeah did well Marshall: 6.5 looked to break forward nicely
Referee: 6 Steer: 7 Another clean sheet. If he was poop when we were conceding a lot, he's presumably world class now. Solly: 6.5 Excellent first half, not as good 2nd half. Bielik: 8 Excellent defending now Bowyer is playing him correctly. Scored one, nearly scored 2. Pearce: 7 Solid as usual. Sarr: 7 Played well. I've said for a while I'd rather he was LB & Solly RB. It worked better imo. Pratley: 7 Played well. Cullen: 8 Excellent MOM. Hope he's back soon. Aribo: 7.5 Very good. Fosu: 7.5 very good, best since last season. Taylor: 8 Excellent. Vetokele: 6 Hope he's back soon. Grant: 7 Did well again. Lapslie: 6 Didn't get too involved but fine. Marshall: 6.5 Looked lively, did well.
Referee: 5 inconsistent let too much rough stuff go Steer: 7 did what he had to great save 2nd half Solly: 7 committed performance in his favoured spot Bielik: 9 outstanding a cut above extra point for goal Pearce: 8 they shall not pass great leader Sarr: 7.5 very good performance provides height and balance Pratley: 8 a great shift for a 33 year old Cullen: 8.5 the boy oozes class so much time Aribo: 7.5 that's better much improved on Rochdale Fosu: 7 great close control still overplays it though Taylor: 8 usual menace had the desire & bottle to score pen Vetokele: 6 looked up for it but performance cruelly cut short Grant: 7 usual busy bee only one clear chance we'll saved
Lapslie: 7 usual 100% effort to see game out Marshall: 7 good possession to run the clock down
Referee: 8 one of the better refs in this league, still fell for a few dives though. Steer: 7 did what he had to do well. Solly: 6.5 solid but a few poor decisions Bielik: 8 cool, calm and collected extra .5 for the goal. Pearce: 7 didn't notice him much which is usually good for a centre half. Sarr: 7.5 impressed at left back. Pratley: 7 covered a lot of ground and good passing, worries me when he dives into challenges though. Cullen: 8 Just shades bielik for mom, ran the game. A class above at this level and really hope he isn't out for long. Aribo: 7.5 so skilful but sometimes gets caught out of position Fosu: 7 much better today playing from the left is his best position Taylor: 7 works really hard and took his penalty well but looked a little tired/injured at times. Vetokele: 6.5 a few nice touches and unlucky to get injured again. Grant: 6 didn't really get into the game and possibly should have scored his header.
Lapslie: 6.5 gave us energy in the middle and calmed things down as Walsall got on top. Marshall: 7 decent positive cameo, beat a few players and held onto the ball well when we were up against it.
Referee: 6 - Nothing to complain about Steer: 6 - Had very little do, but made some good saves when we were under pressure in the second half. Solly: 6 - Good performance I thought, but got beaten for speed a couple of times. Good outlet down the right wing too. Bielik: 7.5 - Looked unfazed defensively all game., missed the clear header but finished well when it dropped to him. Great partnership with Pearce. Pearce: 7.5 - Him and Bielik worked great together, never looked shaky. Might be hard for Bauer to work his way back into this side. Sarr: 6 - Did a job at LB, they started targetting him in their good spell in the second half but he did well Pratley: 6 - Was good support for Solly, worked hard, got a silly yellow, did well when put into the Centre and helped calm things down Cullen: 8 - MOTM - Outstanding, collected the ball from the defense and the wings and kept the ball moving. Excellent first touch. Everything went through him. Really hope his injury isn't bad. Aribo: 6 - Good performance, looked confident especially in the first half. Went missing a little in the second half but still a good performance. Fosu: 7 - His first touch wasn't totally there today, but once he had a yard and a half to run at their defence he caused them problems, earnt the penalty. Taylor: 7 - Great performance for someone who definitely wasn't playing. Not the best penalty again. Worked back to help out defensively also Vetokele: 5 - Gutted that he got injured again, but before that he wasn't up to much, first touch wasn't there. Grant: 6 - Worked hard, tracked back well, only had one solid chance with the header.
Lapslie: 7 - Settled the ship when he came on, looked confident and moved the ball around well. Great subs by Bowyer Marshall: 7 - Settled the ship, attacked well and put them on the back foot. Great substitution again.
Referee 5 Wasn't mindful enough when Solly went down Steer 6.5 One crucial save kept the Saddlers at bay and gave us the all important clean sheet. Solly 7 Back in his accustomed role. Was always comfortable. Sarr 7 Dominant Pearce 7 Did his usual sterling job Bielik 8 cool, calm, measured and a goal! Cullen 8.5 Tackler, blocker and creator. Injury is a real blow. Pratley 7.5 Very good performance from him. Assured. Aribo 7 Constant threat Fosu 7 Improving Taylor 8 Love his energy and his passion. Vetokele 6 Ok before his injury. Grant 6.5 Might be disappointed he didn't put that header away Lapslie 6 Continued the energy levels of Cullen Marshall 6 Retained the ball well in the closing minutes.
