At The Valley, on Sky or a live stream your marks please:
Phillips: 7 ... no chance with the goal, made a good save second half Dijksteel: 7 ... steady Bauer: 8 ... solid Sarr: 8 ... Sarr does what Sarr does Purrington: 6 ... steady without filling me with a huge amount of confidence. Loses a point for losing his man at the corner Bielik: 8 ... mutt's nuts in the first half, if he hadn't gone off crook at HT would probably have been MoTM Cullen: 8.5 .. Bielik's partner-in-crime in the first half, the pair bossed midfield Aribo: 9 ... just edges Josh for MoTM because he scored and Josh didn't Williams: 7 ... OK Taylor: 7.5 ... it's good that he scored, even better he didn't get another yellow Vetokele: 7 ... worked hard, shame about the goal-line clearance! Reeves: 7 ... OK Fosu-Henry: 7 ... looked lively when he came on. More of the same next time please Fossy! Referee: 8 ... makes a change from the Stoud/Kettle/Linnington calibre of whistle-blower we normally get
Phillips: 7.5 saved everything he could have done Dijksteel: 6.5 not bad, never really got shown up but didn't attack hugely well and some ropey touches Bauer: 8 good, strong performance and a big block at the end Sarr: 8 classic nabster-of-2019 dominating performance Purrington: 7.5 was decent and got forward well first half Bielik: 9.5 absolutely magical on the ball until he had to come off, so so much classier than this level of football Cullen: 8.5 would be MoM in a normal game playing like that - his work enabled the performances of others by hustling and moving the ball quickly Aribo: 9.5 MoM the complete performance from him, really. Made key passes, won the ball, scored, superbly quick feet at times, physical... near-perfect Williams: 7 didn't create quite enough for me, but not bad at all - got the ball in the positions we want him in Taylor: 7.5 harried, got his goal, he's doing it the hard way without Karlan Vetokele: 6 dipstick for blocking Cullen's goal (bad luck though, really), he did alright but he's not there yet Reeves: 6.5 had a few blocked efforts, showed how difficult that role behind the strikers is - especially against a team under the cosh who need to get numbers back there Fosu-Henry: 6.5 not a lot of impact but showed some better decisions than before
Referee: 9 thought he was superb
Pratley: n/a it was a hard act to follow but he's slow motion compared to Aribo and Cullen and doesn't have Bielik's class
Phillips: 8 Dijksteel: 7 Bauer: 8 Sarr: 8 Purrington: 7 Bielik: 8 (best ive seen him before he went off) Cullen: 8 Aribo: 9.5 Williams: 8 Taylor: 8.5 Vetokele:6 - gutted to say it, but never the same after his big injury. Reeves: 8 Fosu-Henry:8 Referee:9
Phillips: 7 Dijksteel: 6 - Good going forward but can't defend Bauer: 8 Sarr: 8.5 What an improvement in a player Purrington: 8 Bielik: 8.5 - Best that I have seen him play Cullen: 8 Aribo: 9. - Brilliant but we wont keep him Williams: 8. Taylor: 8.- Did not do much in the first half but really played well in the second Vetokele:6 - Shame but i think he can only come on for 20 minutes as he look shattered by half time and made little contribution. Reeves: 8 - Made a great impact Fosu-Henry:8 Really played well when he came on.
