Referee: 4 Steer: 7 Solly: 6 Bauer: 7 Pearce: 7 Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 7 Looked very good in midfield, pressing forward Reeves: 7 Looks as if he could play a Division higher no problem Aribo: 7 Fosu: 7 Taylor:7 Ajose: 7
Marshall: 7 Dijksteel: 6
This was a very good ensemble performance in dreadful conditions
Steer: 6.5 - Being generous only because he had nothing to do. Stayed warm. Passed the ball well.
Solly: 7 - Put in a shift. Not a lot of end product
Bauer: 7
Pearce: 7.5
Sarr: n/a (early bath) - Seen the replay a few times now, can't really decide if it's a sending off or just a booking. Doesn't really need to make that challenge, but at the same time how many have criticized him for not being tough enough. I'm guessing it's a three match ban, which is a real hurt this time of year.
Bielik: 8.5 - Class.
Reeves: 6.5 - Kept the ball moving and kept possession when we went down to 10 against 11. Lacking end product
Aribo: 7.5 - Was everywhere. Just lacking an end product
Fosu: 7 - Put in a shift at LWB
Taylor: 8 - A good goal and was just generally everywhere.
Ajose: 7 - Lead the line and took up good positions.
Marshall: n/a - Great to finally see him score a quality goal. He offers something different off the bench if we can get some confidence into him. Dijksteel: n/a
Referee: 7 Thought he did ok. Sarr's red was a red, even though a harsh one. Steer: 7 I feel safe with this guy in goal. The team must do the same which will help them. Solly: 6.5 Did nothing really wrong but not as involved as he can be Bauer: 6 Has that bad pass in him. Dik ok apart from that but Wimbledon dodn't prioritise scoring Pearce: 7 Solid Sarr: 4 Was a poor decision to make a tackle like that - they weren't in a really dangerous position and the slippery surface was going to accelerate him. No real intent to harm though. Bielik 8: Did very well. Was key for us. Reeves: 5 I thought he was terrible today - delivery was crap and he looked weak Aribo: 7 Competed well and was an important part of the midfield Fosu: 7.5 Closest we have seen to last season's player. A good sign. Taylor: 8 MOTM. That was a goal not many players could score. We are very lucky to have him Ajose: 5 A bit anonymous, nearly scored second half and if he had would have gotten a couple more marks from me. He didn't so have to judge him on his contribution.
Referee: 5. come on you Reds. For once in a Cafc match he may have got both red cards right. But he makes me nervous when we do a foul.
Steer: 7 did the few things well. Solly: 6.5 steady game Bauer: 7 comfortable game. Pearce: 7 enjoyed playing wing back ! Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 7.5 majestic Reeves: 6 not his A game but kept trying. Aribo: 6.5 decent performance Fosu: 6.5 played better but still not there Taylor: 7.5 heroic with his bad foot. Great strikers goal. Ajose: 7 takes up great positions but only once yesterday got the pass. Good assist for Lyle's goal.
Referee: 3 probably best I don’t comment, he at least got the dive correct.
Steer: 6 nothing to do Solly: 7 done well considering but he acres of space Bauer: 7.5 commanding and dealt with everything that came his way Pearce: 8 such a fantastic player to have, he played like a left wing back at times as well. Sarr: n/a (early bath) unlucky with the red in my opinion Bielik: 9 wow. He was phenomenal. Only thing is a couple of his passes in the first half were off. The rest of his game was brilliant. Reeves: 6.5 not really his day but he works hard and we are a better team in midfield with him Aribo: 7.5 big job in the middle of the park, done well and maybe needs to shoot and be more confident more often Fosu: 6.5 frustrating if I am honest. He has so much ability and skill that we know he can do so much more. Too often he cuts on his right and just passes backwards. Maybe lacking in confidence but hopefully he gets better soon Taylor: 7.5 playing with an injury but was always going to score. So important to us and it’s great to have a striker that is showing to have it all for this level Ajose: 6.5 just when he started to make the runs he should’ve done for the whole game, down the side of them, between two defenders, he does it once and we score then he comes off
Marshall: n/a it won’t count of course but, 9. SO happy for him to score yesterday and to me he done more in the time he was on than Fosu in the whole game. Marshall, well done, hard work pays off Dijksteel: n/a unsure why he didn’t go to right back and Solly to left back but there we go
Referee: 2 - Made the error of not taking conditions into account early on (thanks in part to the lino) and made the rod for his own back thereafter. It was funny how the bloke behind me kept berating the ref thinking it was Kevin Friend - "You're useless Friend!!!!" Steer: 7 - Solid without being troubled Solly: 6 - Pushed forward after we went 3 at the back and not his game Bauer: 6.5 - Not unduly troubled Pearce: 6.5 - Involved a lot and did OK Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 6.5 - Comfortable on the ball Reeves: 6.5 - Key player as they sat back and played in lots of good balls that nearly unlocked their defence without ever quite making it Aribo: 7.5 - Good game in holding, passing, dribbling and tackling Fosu: 6 - Huge amounts of ball and had the beating of his full back, but poor final ball time after time Taylor: 7 - Good game and nice goal; does get booked too often though! Ajose: 6.5 - Did well and a nice assist; shame he missed his one chance due to the conditions and shouldn't have been yanked
I thought Bowyer brought pressure on the team at the end by taking Ajose off when keeping two up front would have kept them honest. What a wet day!
Referee: 7 Steer: 7. Extra point for staying awake while waiting for them to attack. Solly: 6.5 Bauer: 6.5 Pearce: 8 a real captains performance Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 7. Quite a few poor passes and not always the best option but had the confidence to still try and make something happen. Reeves: 7 Aribo: 7 Fosu: 6 can beat a defender so easily, needs a bit more end product Taylor: 8 great natural goal scorer with a class finish. He was way off the defender and still managed to get the foot in to score. MOM. Ajose: 6 feel a bit sorry for the guy. We don’t play the ball up quick enough or brave enough for him. Great cross.
Referee: 4......get out of the bloody way. Steer: 6.....nothing to do. Solly: 6......not the player he once was. Bauer: 7..steady Pearce: 7.5..........natural left wingback Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 8......class Reeves: 7.....some decent passes...can't shoot. Aribo: 7 Fosu: 7 Taylor: 7.5 Ajose: 6.5
Referee: 5 Steer: 7 Good save and a good punch. Solly: 6.5 Did his bit. Bauer: 8 In no trouble. Pearce: 8 In no trouble and had a couple of left wing runs! Sarr: n/a (early bath) Bielik: 9 Excellent at the back and excellent in midfield. Wasn't scared to carry the ball or try a range of passing. Reeves: 6.5 Not his best but did help us gain control after the early red card. Lovely ball to Ajose. Aribo: 8 Pretty classy. Intercepted well and looked like he might score. Needs to work on his shooting power. Fosu: 6 Lots of ball and space in the 1st half. His body faints sent Wagstaff into orbit but then there was no delivery. Just wish he would cut inside and whip it in instead of the numerous touches and runs into the congested middle. Helped in the build-up to the 1st goal. A right mixed bag but far better than anything Wimbledon had. Taylor: 7.5 Excellent striker's finish. We are becoming the kings of the close range goal this season. Great attitude too. Ajose: 6 Makes good runs down the sides of centre-backs into the penalty area (Gary Nelson was good at that). Didn't look like scoring but made the 1st goal.
Marshall: n/a - Well done! Good running with the ball to push Wimbledon back and a lovely calm finish for his first home league goal.
