At the Valley or from a live stream your marks please:
Phillips: 6.5 nervy kicking Solly: 6.5 lost his man for the first goal, a few other errors Bauer: 7.5 man mountain but handball Sarr: 7 not at his best with wayward/heavy passes Purrington: 6.5 didn't look great Cullen: 9 motm absolutely everywhere Reeves: 8 decent shift today I thought Aribo: 6.5 less good now the sky cameras weren't there Fosu-Henry: 6.5 getting better, lost it during second half Taylor: 7.5 lively but whingey EDIT on reflection, a goal, an assist and no booking probably deserves higher, let's give him an 8 Parker: 6.5 didn't seem to add much Referee: 8 actually pretty decent in hindsight
Phillips: 7 the haters have a point about his kicking but it really doesn't matter. Looking so solid in the air Solly: 7 a bit better than his recent standard Bauer: 7.5 was a handball but other than that decent Sarr: 8.5 MOTM must be absolutely monstrous to play against. I gather he had a nightmare opening ten seconds; I entered the arena after fifteen seconds so didn't see it Purrington: 7 put some good crosses in Cullen: 8 another heavy-duty game, if not as many telling passes as last time Reeves: 8 learning very fast from Bowyer about bursting into the box and a huge shift too Aribo: 7 a bit subdued but understandable with the tightness he is carrying Fosu-Henry: 4 ranged from frustrating to uninvolved and should have come off much sooner Taylor: 8 A poor second half doesn't change the two moments of magic that led to our goals Parker: 7.5 a massive shift, winning free-kicks, running everywhere and doing the hard work. Rightly rewarded by being kept on Referee: 8 got it all right pretty much for all that the linesman caused controversy
Phillips: 7 = only a few bad passes Solly: 7 = beat once which shot caused handball Bauer: 7.5 = steady Sarr: 7 = quiet which is rare Purrington: 7 = pushed forward too much Cullen: 8 (motm) = immense tackling Reeves: 8 = great finish Aribo: 7 = looked tired Fosu-Henry: 6.5 = too soft Taylor: 7.5 = decent hold up play Parker: 7 = not very good in air. More effective w ball to his feet Referee: 7
Phillips: 6.5 (kicking a bit amiss tonight) Solly: 6.5 Bauer: 7.5 Sarr: 7 Purrington: 5 (We've been spoilt with some pretty decent L/Bs. Alas, he won't be one of them) Cullen: 9 (Excellent display, particularly first half) Reeves: 7.5 Aribo: 6 Fosu-Henry: 6 Taylor: 7 Parker: 4 (Sadly, he's not going to be the answer) Referee: 8 (Refreshingly unfussy, no cards, and constant communication with the players)
At the Valley or from a live stream your marks please:
Phillips: 5.5 Awful kicking. Solly: 6 Bauer: 6.5 Sarr: 6 Purrington: 6 Cullen: 8.5 mom by a mile Reeves: 6.5 Aribo: 5 poor by his standards Fosu-Henry: 6 Good for first ten mins. Taylor: 7. Pen and assist but not brilliant. Parker: 6.5 worked better with Taylor. Referee: complete imbecile as was the lino.
Phillips: 6 Distribution very poor Solly: 6 Bauer: 7.5 Sarr: 7.5 Purrington: 6.5 Cullen: 10 - MOM Not sure he could have played any better Reeves: 8 Tried to keep it on the floor and a great header Aribo: 6 Did not get into the game at all Fosu-Henry: 7.5 Tried hard but control let him down Taylor: 8 Parker: 7. Tried hard and good to see him running back and tackling in the 90th min. Referee: 7
Lapslie: 7 Again worked hard when he got his chance Vetokele: 5 Did not chase anything down - what has happened to him -now appears very lazy.
Phillips: 6.5 nothing to do, distribution was poor Solly: 7.5 got us out of trouble a couple of times Bauer: 7.5 Steady Sarr: 7 a couple of wibble wobble moments, Purrington: 7.5, underated player in my view, Cullen: 8.5 MOM by a country mile Reeves: 8 extra half for the goal, with his head! I think we could do more with him. Aribo: 6 very poor tonight, was he ill? Fosu-Henry: 6.5 what ever he had, he's not got it anymore Taylor: 7.5 looked cream crackered Parker: 6.5 he's average Referee: 7
Phillips: 6 - Kicking suspect but dont care; didnt have much else to do today
Solly: 6 - Had a few troubles with their winger tonight, few misplaced passes but got forward well and made some good blocks / tackles in the 2nd half
Bauer: 7 - Solid display that we've come to expect from the German; a tad unlucky with the penalty perhaps (havent seen it back)
Sarr: 7 - Almost caught in possession a few times but showed a cool head to not lose the ball
Purrington: 5 - A good defensive Full-Back, needs to work on getting forward more else I wonder if being CB somewhere would suit him better
Cullen: 8 - Great performance, has had a quiet return from injury but has exploded into form these last two games
Reeves: 7.5 - Did well to constantly get in the box, did even better not to get knocked out for the goal
Aribo: 6 - Off form tonight for me, slow and labourous
Fosu: 5 - Very disappointed, he's shown in cameos that he deserved to start today, should have been chomping at the bit to impress
Taylor: 6.5 - Lovely cross for the goal, terrible run up for the penalty, offside far too often (Id say the Iino got about 70% of those 1st half calls right)
Parker: 6 - As a Striker your job is to take chances but its impossible if your not given any; his work rate and effort for the team was impressive though
Referee: 6 - Did okayish in what was a genuinely very clean game... Would need to see both penalties back to feel if they were correct calls
Phillips 7.5 wind didnt help his kicks but good in the air Solly 6 has had his best days i think sadly Bauer 7 SOLID Sarr 7 SOLID Purrington 6.5 decent Cullen 9.5 MOTM BRILLIANT!!! Reeves 8 great work and great finish Aribo 7 must be absolutely knackered after his Superman performance on Saturday Fosu 6 really hope he gets his mojo back Taylor 7.5 good pen and assist Parker 6 doesnt offer anything going forward but worked harder 2nd half coming back Ref 5 not impressed and as for that linesman -10
Phillips: 5.5. Oh that kicking😩 Solly: 6.5. Some good defensive work 2nd half Bauer: 8. Snuffed out everything Sarr: 6. Not his best today Purrington: 7. Looking more assured Cullen: 9. Everywhere. Deserved MOM Reeves: 6.5. Didn’t see much 2nd half Aribo: 5. Strangely out of sorts Fosu-Henry: 6. Struggled to free himself from some close marking Taylor: 7. Goal and assist Parker: 5. Tried but not seen anything to wow me Referee: 8
Phillips: 6.5 a good rugby kicker. always find touch. Good hands though ! Solly: 7 solid tonight. Bauer: 7 ditto Sarr: 7 despite making errors Purrington:7 good bar that one instance. Cullen: 9 superb, ran the show. Reeves: 7 another important goal at the valley. Aribo: 6.5 after the lord mayor's show Fosu-Henry: 6.5 should of scored. Taylor: 7.5 did fine. Parker: 6.5 kept going but lacks a goal threat Referee:5.5 normal service resumed at the valley.

Ref 6.5
Solly: 6 - hot and cold.
Bauer: 8 - solid as a large German rock.
Sarr: 6.5 - lots of careless stuff early doors but more effective as the game went on
Purrington: 4 - useless and becoming more annoying with every game. Middle name should be “backwards” as that is his every instinct.
Cullen: 8.5 MOM. Thank goodness he was playing as he did the job of two men.
Reeves: 6.5. - excellent first half, rubbish second.
Aribo: 5 - Offered very little.
Fosu-Henry: 5 - I don’t think this is the same guy we had last year. Can we have the other one back please.
Taylor: 6.5. At least he didn’t get booked. The hands In the air routine is becoming boring.
Parker: 6 - curates egg. Couldn’t trap a large bag of cement but did quite a bit of defensive work that I suspect some will ignore.
