Referee: 7 missed a couple of fouls but did well Phillips: 7.5 very commanding Dijksteel 8 MOM I'm actually going to ignore his first half completely because the player we saw in the second half couldn't have been the same man Bauer: 8 large German, large results Sarr: 8 as the guy next to me said, 'a liability'. Yeah, for the other team Solly: 7 typical stuff Bielik: 7.5 iffy beginnings but ran the second half Pratley: 6 played OK in the second half actually after a complete non-entity of a first half, duffed our best chance at a winner Morgan: 6.5 tidy without being incisive Fosu-Henry: 6.5 a very mixed game. Our best spells coincided with his Taylor: 7.5 the heartbeat of the side Grant: 6.5 couldn't find his moment
Hard to score as game of 2 halves... What on earth did Bow say at half time, we were s Phillips: 6.5 Dijksteel: 2.5 first half, 7.5 second... 5 Bauer: 7 Sarr: 7.5 Solly: 6.5 Bielik: 8 Pratley: 4 and 7... 5.5 Morgan: 6.5 Fosu-Henry: 6.5 Taylor: 8.5 Grant: 7
Williams looked good... Driving forward constantly
Referee: 7.5. Unlike many on the match thread I thought he did well Phillips: 7 Dijksteel: 7 Bauer: 7.5 Sarr: 8 Solly: 7 Bielik: 7 Pratley: 6 Morgan: 6.5 Fosu-Henry: 6.5 Taylor: 8.5 Grant: 6.5
Referee: 6 Phillips: 6 didn't have alot to do. Dijksteel: 7.5 first half was shocking but improved massively 2nd half. Not a RB though. Bauer: 7 solid Sarr: 8 solid and his better passes were brilliant. Solly: 7 solid and happy to get stuck in. Bielik: 7.5 great at breaking up the play but needs to turn out to pass forward. Pratley: 6.5 done well but should have scored. Morgan: 7 looked tidy. Fosu-Henry: 6.5 tried hard on the ball but they kicked lumps out of him. Taylor: 7 hold up play was good Grant: 6.5 good effort but didn't work out. Should have scored also.
Williams looked lively. Hope it's a sign of things to come.
Referee: 6 largely did okay but Baldwin should have had a second yellow on 3 or 4 occasions. Phillips: 7 no chance with the goal and commanded box well, few decent saves and looked to get on the counter quickly. Dijksteel: 5.5 poor first half, better second. Bauer: 7 solid as usual Sarr: 7.5 solid and nice passing Solly: 7 usual sols Bielik: 7.5 passed well and broke up play, one bad backwards header nearly cost us. Pratley: 4 can someone tell me what this bloke brings to the side? Start williams ahead of him all day long. Morgan: 8 MOM - this kid is mustard, carried the ball so well and can play a pass, LB got it wrong taking him off imo. Fosu-Henry: 6 worked hard but not a lot came off Taylor: 7.5 most of our threat came directly through him, great play for the goal Grant: 6 quiet game from him, could have scored a few.
Williams - looked sharp and caused Sunderland problems
Referee: 6.5 ok Phillips: 6.5 did fine. Dijksteel: 7 poor 1st half, immense 2nd. Bauer: 7.5 tough game but kept going. Sarr:7.5 solid and cool.. Solly: 7 tough playing LB but did fine. Bielik: 7 better 2nd half (like everyone) Pratley:6 puts in a shift but lacks skill. Morgan: 7.5 our best player 1st half. Fosu-Henry: 6.5 maverick player Taylor: 8 man love to Lyle. Grant: 7 played well without the killer touch today.
Williams n/a decent cameo and pleased the crowd backed him.
Referee: 6 Lino was shocking Phillips: 6 Dijksteel: 7 rubbish first half cracking second Bauer: 7.5 was very good Sarr: 6.5 couple of bloopers but defended well Solly: 6.5 rubbish first half good second Bielik: 7.5 won lots Pratley: 7 one of his best for us Morgan: 7.5 was our best player with the ball first half Fosu-Henry: 8 got hacked down at least eight times Taylor: 7.5 usual hand full Grant: 7.5 same
Referee: 10 Thought he was brilliant. Didn’t reward players for falling over easily and keeping his cards in his pockets ignoring the crowd trying to influence him. Big part of the reason the game was so good!
Phillips: 6.5 Could be more commanding at time but did what he had to do. Good throws Dijksteel 7 - If he made some different choices could’ve easily been a 9 but was the only defender able to deal with Watmore when he came on. Has serious physical gifts and could become a real player. Bauer: 7.5 Dealt with Wyke well. Sarr: 7 Shaky to Start but some good long balls Solly: 7 Solid Bielik: 7 Broke Sunderland’s attacks down well Pratley: 6 50p head but done alright Morgan: 7 some class in this lad. Good positivity when we looked so negative the first 30 Fosu-Henry: 5.5 Always took an extra touch which cost us a few times going forward. Taylor: 7 Grant: 6.5 Work rate was good. Should’ve done better with his chance
Referee: 5 - Bit weak at times, could have booked a few more of their players
Phillips: 7 - Nothing he could do about the goal; second half was a good training session of catching practice Dijksteel: 6 - Very good second half, was a weak link in the first; unfortunate to slip / rush his cross when Taylor and Grant would have been in on goal Bauer: 7 - Dealt with everything from Sunderland all game Sarr: 8 - Immense!!! Solly: 7 - Good game from him seeing he's out of position Bielik: 7.5 - Had a job on his hands today, did well but loses a slight mark for putting Wyke in on goal Pratley: 5.5 - Improvement in the second half Morgan: 7.5 - Was our best player in the first half, disappeared in the second Fosu: 7 - Still needs to look up more Taylor: 8 (MOTM) - Caused Sunderland endless problems at the back, did well to create the goal Grant: 7.5 - Doesnt stop running / doesnt stop working for the team, could have had a couple of goals on another day
Phillips: 5.5, didn't look comfortable to me Dijksteel: 6, ordinary game Bauer: 7, standard performance Sarr: 8.5 (MotM) could become our best CB Solly: 6, don't like him on the left at all Bielik: 7.5, man mountain with skills Morgan: 7, decent game for him didn't hide Pratley: 6, Prat first half better second Fosu: 7.5, much improved Taylor: 8, good game, loses a mark for miss Grant: 7, nothing fancy, good work rate
Referee: 6 Let the game flow but should've punished their repeated fouling Phillips: 7 good distribution, but should've commanded area more Dijksteel: 6.5 Fine Bauer: ditto Sarr: ditto Solly: ditto Bielik: 8 great game, was everywhere Pratley: 6 should've scored with his head Morgan: 7 good game and good set pieces, unlucky to come off Fosu-Henry: 7 good game and drew a lot of fouls Taylor: 7.5 very good game, and excellent work for the goal Grant: 7 should have scored, but battled all game. those two up front are a real handful
Am docking all our players one point for a shite first half.
Referee: 8 About as good as you get in 3rd tier. Phillips: 6.5 Dijksteel 6 Bauer: 6 Sarr:6.5 Solly: 7 Impressed by his display today. Bielik: 6.5 Pratley: 6 Morgan: 7 Fosu-Henry: 6 Taylor:8 MOM Grant: 7
Referee: 8 Phillips: 8 Pulled off a wonder save pushing the ball onto the bar. Dijksteel: 7 A couple of times got caught out and was targeted in first half. Got better in second half. Bauer: 8 Just another day in the office for P Bizzy. Sarr: 8 A beast alongside Bauer. Solly: 7 Classic Solly performance. Bielik: 8.5 Here, there and everywhere. Half a point taken off for the shocking back pass header that almost put Wyke in. Pratley: 7 Started off slow but grew into the game and should have buried that free header from Fossie free kick. Morgan: 7 Grew into the game and getting better. Fosu-Henry: 7 Just needs more consistency with killer passes. Taylor: 8 Got the cross in for the goal and was a right handful for their defenders. Grant: 7 at fault for Sunderland goal losing possession in the middle. Could have got the winner late on. As I said on the last scores stop taking the flipping free kicks!!!!!
Phillips: 6.5 - Nothing he could do about the goal Dijksteel: 6.5 - Looks like he could be a good player but was caught out position wise at times - not a right back Bauer: 7 - Very solid game Sarr: 8 - Two fantastic through balls - solid defensively Solly: 7 - Solid game Bielik: 7 - A few bad points but mostly good Pratley: 6.5 - Had a decent enough game Morgan: 6.5 - Looks a terrific passer - bad first touch when he might have had a great chance in the second Fosu: 7 - Was fouled throughout the game - I thought ref was too lenient with them. I agree foul on Fosu was just outside the area, but if that is not a professional foul, what is FFS! Fouler escaped without a booking! And another in the similar position when Fosu got goal side and the player lent into him to bring him down and a foul wasn't even given. Sorry but not good enough from officials. Sunderland should be very grateful to them! Taylor: 8 (MOTM) - Created the goal and their defence were on the limit against him Grant: 7 - Should have scored at least one, but decent display.
