Referee: 5 Unconfident, some poor decisions, got better towards the end of the gamr Steer: 7 Not much to do. Made a good save at the end. Did his job Solly: 7 Solid, no mistakes that I could see Bauer: 6 Made a terrible pass that released Wimbledon on an attack, could have been 1-0 them Pearce: 7 Solid and commanding as a captain should be Sarr: 4 Challenge not worth a Red card, but he's gotta show better awareness Bielik 9: MOM Commanding, bosses the midfield, made good runs and showed some decent skills for a bigger man. Will be gutted when he leaves Reeves: 5 Had better set pieces today but I don't think he should be on all of them Aribo: 7.5 Getting stronger, didn't take any shit today. FUCKING SHOOT LAD! Fosu: 7.5 Made awesome runs today, had Wagstaff on his knees a couple times with his skills. If he crossed better, he coulda had a couple more Taylor: 7 Solid, good position for the goal Ajose: 5 Forgot he was on the pitch for the first 60 minutes. Started to look a little more lively before he came off
Referee: Steer: 7.5 Premiership-class save at end and safe handling Solly: 7 they had some joy down his side but I thought he did well Bauer: 8 huge lad, huge game Pearce: 3 just not a left-back. Kidding! 8 very solid as usual Sarr: n/a (early bath) he probably folded everyone's clothes and tidied up Bielik: 8.5 yeah this guy is the man now, loses 0.5 for silly booking but what a performance really Reeves: 7.5 kept us ticking and played a pass of the season contender Aribo: 8 brilliant, almost effortless-seeming dominance Fosu: 7.5 back to something like his better form Taylor: 8 a poacher AND a playmaker! Ajose: 7 good assist, but ruined Reeves' big moment
Marshall: n/a reassuring and potent Dijksteel: n/a the wrong substitution for me but did ok
Referee: Steer: 7.5 Premiership-class save at end and safe handling Solly: 7 they had some joy down his side but I thought he did well Bauer: 8 huge lad, huge game Pearce: 3 just not a left-back. Kidding! 8 very solid as usual Sarr: 10 MOTM Bielik: 8.5 yeah this guy is the man now, loses 0.5 for silly booking but what a performance really Reeves: 7.5 kept us ticking and played a pass of the season contender Aribo: 8 brilliant, almost effortless-seeming dominance Fosu: 7.5 back to something like his better form Taylor: 8 a poacher AND a playmaker! Ajose: 7 good assist, but ruined Reeves' big moment
Marshall: n/a reassuring and potent Dijksteel: n/a the wrong substitution for me but did ok
Referee: 2 what a clown Steer: 7 what a save at the end Solly: 7 decent game, ended up as a right winger most of the game Bauer: 6.5 not an awful lot to do Pearce: 7 popped up on the left wing at times, not much defensive work to be done Sarr: n/a (early bath) didn't look an awful challenge but with Kettle it was always going to be a red the second it happened Bielik: 7.5 grew into the game, great second half, felt he tried too many Hollywood balls in the first Reeves: 6.5 needs to shoot more or pass early to Ajose when he makes a run. The one time he did today Ajose was clean through Aribo: 7.5 fades in every game but the amount he gets through in the first 70 mins I can't blame him Fosu: 5.5 the tackle that led to the second goal was his best bit of play, otherwise he was wasteful and greedy Taylor: 8 doesn't stop does he? Good goal and looked dangerous as ever Ajose: 7.5 I thought he worked incredibly hard and showed Fosu how it's done with the assist for the first.
Bowyer 7 I worried after the double sub, we completely lost our way for 5 mins and they suddenly looked a threat, but Marshall's calmness and well taken goal put paid to that thankfully
Referee: 6 think he had both sending offs right but loses marks for booking Taylor. That’s not allowed! Steer: 7 another impressive clean sheet Solly: 7 steady game Bauer: 7 calm commanding Pearce: 7 Did well at left back Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 8 passing top class Reeves: 6 misfires but worth persevering with as he can play the killer ball Aribo: 6 shooting wayward in first half improved second Fosu: 7.5 did well today but there’s more to come Taylor: 9 Mof M I gave it to Lyle Taylor. A brilliant cf goal. He is a star and we need to keep him to go up. Ajose: 4 please leave Nicky. All four marks for the cross to Taylor but other than that he adds nothing and messed up with that great through ball
Referee: 9 Steer: I’m not giving a mark because he had pretty much nothing to do. Solly: 8 Bauer: 8 Pearce: 8 probably ran more in the first half than any two usual games; wouldn’t be surprised if he had altitude sickness from being so high up the pitch. Sarr: n/a (early bath) 0 Bielik: 9.5 Reeves: 7.5 Aribo: 8 Fosu: 9 Taylor: 9 Ajose: 8
Marshall: n/a deserving of at least 8 for som very intelligent play. Dijksteel: n/a
Referee: 4 probably got the second ref correct but loads wrong including the Naby Sarr red which was a shocker Steer: 7 good save to keep us at 1-0, decent distribution Solly: 7 very solid game Bauer: 7 also very good Pearce: 7 couple of slow moments but good Sarr: 6 shouldn’t have been sent off but not a great challenge Bielik: 7 looked good and moved well into the formation when Sarr left the pitch Reeves: 6 didn’t do it for me today. Aribo: 7 all over the pitch and decent control 89% of the time Fosu: 6 still not up to full twinkly speed and kept screwing up crosses, think he plays better through the middle and did better once Ajose cane off and he played just behind Taylor Taylor: 8 looked dangerous all game, good skills, battled the defenders and scored a decent strikers chance MOTM for me Ajose: 7 decent assist and some good runs but not sharp yet as a striker
Marshall: 7 strong cameo, caned his defender a couple of times and scored of a difficult chance across the keeper.
Referee: 6 - Not a bad performance, just not great at times either
Steer: 7 - Didnt have much to do but commanded his area well Solly: 7 - Solid performance from Solly, wasnt really tested Bauer: 7 - Thought our Centre-Backs played well today, despite not being seriously challenged Pearce: 7.5 - Very impressed with how he got forward at times Sarr: N/A Bielik: 7 - Thought he had a good game, especially in the second with bringing the ball forward Reeves: 6 - Steady game, improvement on his Blackpool cameo again Aribo: 8 (MOTM) - Ran the whole show in Midfield Fosu: 6 - Better than recent performances, neat on the ball yet final ball not there in the slightest Taylor: 7.5 - Very professional performance in what must have been a difficult day for him Ajose: 6 - Didnt really get any service
Steer: 6 good save late on Solly: 7 had the Waggy in his pocket Bauer: 7.5 we weren’t threatened at all but solid Pearce: 7.5 ditto for Bauer Sarr: n/a (early bath) looked a ridiculous decision Bielik: 6 don’t rate him personally but did ok Reeves: 7 keeps us ticking Aribo: 8 MOM oozes class Fosu: 7 dangerous whilst lacking final ball Taylor: 7 good finish for the goal, lovely touch to go over and applaud the Wimbledon fans at the end, think I have a man crush Ajose: 7 if players were on his wavelength he would score more often, excellent movement but a tad lazy
Referee: 3 shocker Steer: 6.5 not much to do Solly: 6 better today Bauer: 7 Started off most of our moves Pearce: 6.5 as usual Sarr: n/a (early bath) 3 missed the challenge Bielik: 7 brought the ball out from the back a lot Reeves: 6.5 gave the ball away a couple of times Aribo: 7 Becoming one of our best Fosu: 6 bit better than last week Taylor: 7.5 Gets better and better Ajose: 5.5 should have scored one on one
Referee: 5 despte the sending off and some bizarre decisions not the worst this season by a long chalk (depressing isn't it?) Steer: 7 Solly: 7 Bauer: 7.5 Pearce: 7.5 Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 7.5 Reeves: 6.5 definitely adds something but looks rusty still Aribo: 7.5 Fosu: 7 some of the old Fosu about him today Taylor: 8.5 Ajose: 5.5 tries to look busy at times but his positioning is not brave - at one point the ball was cleared and was heading for him and a defender. Ajose moved away from the defender without even challenging. That's what's wrong with him and why he'd be 4th choice if Karlan and Igor were fit
Referee: 6 Steer: 6 One of his easier games. Solly: 7 Worked well Bauer: 7 Hardly troubled against a toothless attack. Pearce: 7 Put another shift in to cover the missing Sarr. Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 7 Picked up the pieces in midfield. Reeves: 7.5 controlled the midfield. Aribo: 7 Kept the momentum going in midfield and worked hard with Reeves. Fosu: 6.5 Lacked the quality final ball. Taylor: 7 For someone playing at 75% fitness he worked bloody hard. Ajose: 7 Worked tirelessly and unlucky not to get a goal he deserved but put a lovely cross in for Taylor to tuck away.

Solly: 7.5 solid

Bielik: 8
Reeves: 6. Loads of possession but did little right.
Aribo: 8.5. MOM. Absolutely bossed it. If he could shoot........
Fosu: 6. A bit like Reeves. Absolutely no left foot. But on the mend.
Taylor: 7. Not fit but got the job done.
Ajose: 6. Double what I normally give him for the assist alone. Made a few runs to no effect but his colleagues don’t pass to him for a reason.
Marshall 8. Not on long enough for this to count but I thought he was terrific.
