Steer 7 Dijksteel 7.5 excellent Pearce 6 some dodgy moments Bauer 6 rusty Solly 7 good Lapslie 5.5 Huge effort, minimal quality Ward 7.5 Bielik 4.5 don’t like him in that position Aribo 7 Grant 6.5 Ajose 4 (plus 1 for the one sublime bit of ball control)
Steer 8.5 a couple of wayward kicks but set up first goal and stunning save. Dijksteel 7.5 Pearce 8 Bauer 7.5 Solly 7.5 Lapslie 7 Ward 7.5 Bielik 8 Aribo 7.5 Grant 7.5 Ajose 7
Steer 8 great assist and worldly save Djiksteel 7 steady Pearce 7 captains performance Bauer 6.5 steady return Solly 5 he was exposed for pace Lapslie 6 lots of effort Ward 8.5 MOM Bielik 5 overplayed it Aribo 7 Grant 6 Didn’t do much apart from goal Ajose 5 Not up to it time for him to go in January Fosu 6.5 we need to get him firing I would like to have seen him on earlier Marshal not on long enough Hackett Fairchild as above
Steer 8.5 MOTM The new Ederson Dijksteel 6.5 solid but unspectacular, some dodgy passes, good cross for 2nd goal Pearce 6 beaten in the air for their goal, stupid booking, liked his go at being a winger Bauer 7 a large and reassuring display from a large and reassuring gentleman Solly 6.5 this wrong side lark doesn't really suit him Lapslie 5.5 he just didn't affect the game Ward 7 good goal and plenty of hustle, also plenty of overhit through-balls Bielik 6.5 not sure about him in midfield but at least he's a dominating presence Aribo 7 has the 'poacher' attribute - very valuable Grant 6.5 has the 'running towards open goal' attribute - also very valuable, I guess Ajose 7 loads of effort, good link-ups and threat from him, shouldn't take set-pieces
Referee: 7 - Not a bad game, some dubious decisions but better than most
Steer: 8 - Not just for the assist but for that tip over the bar at the end!!... Winning save that was!! Dijksteel: 6 - Should have closed his man down more, wasnt impressed again today Pearce: 7 - Good steady game, loved the way he ignored the referee when booked Bauer: 6.5 - Not bad but slowly coming back from injury so will let him off Solly: 7 - Loved his rugby tackle style booking; solid game from him Lapslie: 6 - He'll have better games but enjoy his tireless running Ward: 8 - Lovely finish!!... Nice performance Bielik: 6 - Would have been given a 5 for his first half performance, got in the way a bit at times Aribo : 7.5 - Real key figure in the midfield, deserved his goal Grant: 7 - Nice composure for his goal, typical performance for someone who has rejuvinated their Charlton career Ajose: 7 - I thought he played well, real team effort and put in some good set pieces (better than most)
Fosu: 5 - Barely noticed him today Marshall: 6 - Decent cameo Hackett-Fairchild: 6 - Erm did he touch the ball?
Ref 4 starts with B rhymes with Hellend, let them get away with loads (really surprised the marks he's getting!)
Steer 9 motm some great saves and what an assist Dijksteel 5 looked vulnerable down his side Pearce 7.5 great leader yelling like mad at their corners at the end Bauer 8 so glad to have him back Solly 7 outdone a few times but generally okay Lapslie 6.5 put himself about but a little naive at times Ward 8 loves the first time pass and lovely finish sometimes doesn't come off for him Bielik 7 still guilty of occasionally overplaying but looks class at all other times Aribo 8 got stuck in and won is possession so often just wish he'd shoot more! Grant 7 not his most impressive display but good for the goal at the end Ajose 6.5 better than usual
Fosu some good turns but not quite there yet Marshall good running Hackett-Fairchild he's quite tall
Steer 9 MOM. Brilliant assist and one game changing save. Distribution excellent all game.
Dijksteel 6 - solid but lost a mark for not closing down their goal scorer when everyone was baying at him to do so.
Pearce - 7. Some scary moments but you’d miss him if he wasn’t there.
Bauer 7. Generally solid and good to have him back.
Solly 7. Solid. Extra mark for continuing to serve out of position. But please please stop backing off your man.
Lapslie 5.5. Not really getting all the man love. Great effort but looks like a headless chicken to me.
Ward 8. A complete pest all game and brilliant anticipation for his goal.
Bielik 7. Thought he looked a class above with the odd slip up thrown in, generally because he is a class above and no one reads what he is going to do an give him an outlet.
Aribo. 6.5. Hot and cold.
Grant 5. Tried hard but not half the player without Lyle next to him
Ajose 3. Imposter. Can’t hnderstand all the positive reviews. Thought he was utter chuff.
Steer 7 Dijksteel 6 Pearce 6.5 Bauer 7 Solly 7 Lapslie 7 Ward 7.5 - irritating and annoying of the referee and opposition all game how he did not get booked i have no idea. Bielik 6 Aribo 7.5 Grant 6 Ajose 6 Thought he was cack but not as low as a 3.
Steer 9 what a save in first half, thought they had scored Dijksteel 6.5 went forward Pearce 7 usual Bauer 6.5 gave the ball away on occasions Solly 5.5 worried me slightly, their winger was pacey Lapslie 6 got tired second half Ward 8 was a constant nusciance and took goal well Bielik 7 won a lot of balls Aribo 7.5 was a handful Grant 7.5 pace tired them out Ajose 6.5 better performance
Steer - 8.5 Two excellent saves in each half and an assist. Dijksteel - 6 Some sloppy passing. Pearce - 8 Captain fantastic. Bauer - 7 Dealt with Payne well. Solly - 7 Kept up with their no.2 Leadbitter. Lapslie - 7 Battled in midfield. Ward - 7 took his goal well, should have shot instead of passing behind Grant late on and gets in a lot of unnecessary aggro. Bielik - 6 Clumsy in parts. Aribo - 7 Steady and scored. Grant - 7 Missed the partnership with Taylor but couldn’t miss that 3rd. Ajose - 6 Needed to be a bit sharper at times.
Crossbar challenge taker - 5 he should stick to film reviews....... ;-)
Ref 8 Best of the season ? Steer 8.5 A couple of tremendous saves & set up the first goal. Continues to make his unjustified critics look foolish. Dijksteel 6 Pearce 7.5 Dominant Bauer 7 Looked really good in his first league game back. Solly 7 Decent Lapslie 5.5 Ok first half, but disappeared after 55 mins. Ward 7.5 Best game for Charlton and took his goal well. Bielik 7 Mostly excellent, occasionally Sarr like. Aribo 7 Good first half, faded in second half. Grant 6 Ok Ajose 6 Ok
Steer: 8.5 - Said it before will say it again, it's those moments of keeping concentration when he hasn't had a lot to do that makes him a good keeper at this level. Worldy of an assist.
Dijksteel - 7 - Thought he gets caught narrow and a bit flatfooted for their goal but otherwise very solid and a good ball in that led to Aribo's goal.
Pearce - 7.5 - Solid. Silly booking.
Bauer 7.5 - Standard.
Solly - 7.5 - He's been good at LB
Lapslie - 6.5 - Put himself about. Nothing spectacular but good work.
Ward - 8 - Some real moments of quality from him. Still think he lets his temper get the best of him at times but a good performance.
Bielik - 7.5 - At times sloppy in possession but he's such a skillful player and he won the ball a lot.
Aribo - 7 - Good poacher's goal. Looked good going forward, not great defensively.
Grant - 7 - Did well to do his best to play with his back to goal. Not brilliant, but put in a shift.
Ajose - 7 - Good work from him. He seems to be the new scapegoat, which is unfortunate. I think it's his first league start of the season. He and Grant are not a great foil for each other but they did alright. Set pieces were very hit and miss.
Fosu - 6.5 - Good control and ball for the third. Beyond that did decently to defend down the left but nothing spectacular.
Steer 7.5 Excellent couple of key saves, great assist for the first goal Dijksteel 6 A bit of a mixed bag today Pearce 7 Solid Bauer 7 Good first league game since injury Solly 7 Usual good display Lapslie 6 Works hard but caught out of position at times. Missed a good chance. Ward 8 A pest of a player that you like to see in your side and not the opposition's Bielik 5 Poor, too many mistakes surprisingly for him Aribo 7.5 Close between him and Ward for mom. Grant 7 Deserved his goal Ajose 6 A mixed bag from him today
Steer 8 (+1 for the assist which was Hameresque) Dijksteel 6.5 (one of his better games for us) Pearce 6 Bauer 6 Solly 6 Lapslie 6 Ward 7.5 (+ 1 for the goal which was really well taken) Bielik 5 (3 or 4 times he lost the ball in really dangerous positions, against better opposition he could have cost us 1 or more goals) Aribo 6.5 Grant 6.5 Ajose 6.5
Steer - 7 (2 great saves which gave us the win on 38 minutes and 88 minutes) Dijksteel - 6 seemed to make more mistakes than most Pearce - 5 stupid booking Bauer - 6 Solly - 6 Lapslie - 8 Good game. Looks promising Ward - 8 Bielik - 7 Aribo - 7 Grant - 6 Ajose - 6
Fosu - 6 Marshall - 6 Hackett-Fairchild - n/a
Thought our midfield of Lapslie, Ward, Bielik and Aribo was strong by League One standards despite our missing both Forster-Caskey and Reeves.

Ajose 5 Not up to it time for him to go in January
Fosu 6.5 we need to get him firing I would like to have seen him on earlier
Marshal not on long enough
Hackett Fairchild as above
Crossbar Challenge taker 4 Spongefootesque
Steer - 7 couple of good saves, great distribution for the first goal, couple of dodgy kicks out
Djiksteel - 5 was ok but didn’t look very comfortable at times against a fairly poor side
Pearce - 7 did well, good defender, leader, would play at higher level if younger or could pass better
Bauer -7 once or twice ball work a bit rusty but overall getting back to best already
Solly - 7 should really be a 6 but I’m adding on a mark for him playing left back again which really is t his position at all
Lapslie - 6 ran around a lot, few good touches but not very incisive today
Ward - 8 including a half mark for the timewasting. Nicely taken goal, looked difficult to deal with all game
Bielik - 6 one amazing turn, didn’t notice him the rest of the game
Aribo - 6 couple of rabbit in the the headlight moments but a couple of good crosses and a goal
Grant - 7 quick and difficult to deal with. Didn’t always time his runs well but nice composure for the third
Ajose - 6 slightly frustrating again, just not quite on it yet
Fosu - 5 look I’ve got quick feet, round one, through two, lost it again.
Hadn’t seen Henry irving’s crush play before but he looks like he might be a bit useful.
Steer 8.5 MOTM The new Ederson
Dijksteel 6.5 solid but unspectacular, some dodgy passes, good cross for 2nd goal
Pearce 6 beaten in the air for their goal, stupid booking, liked his go at being a winger
Bauer 7 a large and reassuring display from a large and reassuring gentleman
Solly 6.5 this wrong side lark doesn't really suit him
Lapslie 5.5 he just didn't affect the game
Ward 7 good goal and plenty of hustle, also plenty of overhit through-balls
Bielik 6.5 not sure about him in midfield but at least he's a dominating presence
Aribo 7 has the 'poacher' attribute - very valuable
Grant 6.5 has the 'running towards open goal' attribute - also very valuable, I guess
Ajose 7 loads of effort, good link-ups and threat from him, shouldn't take set-pieces
