Phillips: 6 shouldn’t have let that shot in for their goal Solly: 6 afraid he doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence Lockyer: 7 good in possession, got out headed/out-muscled for their goal Pearce: 7.5 good defender but wish his distribution was better Purrington: 8 extremely solid Cullen: 9 my MoM - outstanding Pratley: 8 really puts in a shift Gallagher: 8.5 really impressed Williams: 8 does look fitter Leko: 7.5 some good runs and good pass to Taylor for first goal Taylor: 7.5 great goal Referee: 8 good referee
Phillips: 6 great strike for their goal but maybe should have done better at his near post Solly: 6 did ok but can't help but see him as a bit of a weak link in the back 5 Lockyer: 7 Pearce: 7 Purrington: 7.5 Cullen: 9.5 MOM. so glad we got him back, was absolutely everywhere today Pratley: 7.5 solid and energetic, not really a fan of his but home he sustains this level Gallagher: 8.5 very impressed, clearly got talent and a good understanding of the game especially for his age Williams: 9 quality, love watching him. please please stay fit this season jonny Leko: 7.5 pretty good debut, clearly has potential, fell over quite a lot Taylor: 8 worked hard and did well, especially as he was often a bit isolated (not his fault)
Phillips: 6 poor free kick which went to their keeper and set them on the run to score Solly: 6 ok Lockyer: 6.5 Pearce: 7.5 solid captains performance Purrington: 7.5 consistent and on the whole reliable Cullen: 9 MOTM love this guy
Pratley: 8.5 crucially broke up play solid. Gallagher: 8.5 great home debut. Nice goal Williams: 9 welcome back Johnny. Superb Leko: 8.5 looks a great acquisition Taylor: 8.5 great goal and great assist Lyle. Referee: 6
Aneka 7.5 great to see him score and having a positive impact for the short time he was on. Lapslie: n/a
Phillips: 6.5 their goal seemed to go through him Solly: 6 battled but they seemed to target him Lockyer: 6.5 got stuck in Pearce: 7.5 warrior like Purrington: 7.5 getting better and better Cullen: 7.5 busy Pratley: 8.5 busy + Gallagher: 9 MOM busy ++ and a goal and such good awareness Williams: 6.5 poor first half. got better Leko: 7 box of tricks and pt in a shift Taylor: 7 tenacious for the goal but didnt get much change out of their CBs
Phillips: 6.5 looked nervy today. Wind didn't help Solly: 7 did fine. One bad pass. Lockyer: 7 good on ball, one bad pass. Pearce: 7.5 great captain, gives 100 % Purrington: 8 stepped up. Disappointed he didn't score !!! Cullen: 8.5 welcome home. Pratley: 8 superb water carrier. Gallagher: 9 class, tackles and scores. Williams: 9 class and dribbles Leko: 8.5 this kid is fun to watch. Taylor: 7.5 smashing goal and good Pro. Referee: 7 consistent.
Phillips: 6.5 will be disappointed being beaten by an admittedly great strike, some dithering on the ball in the first half nearly resulted in catastrophe Solly: 6 looked an absolute liability at times, and great at others, balanced out for a 6 Lockyer: 6 his pace makes up for his positional sense, thought he struggled in the first half in particular Pearce: 6.5 the least football-ing player or there today, does the ugly stuff effectively Purrington: 7 thought he did well and a couple of rampaging runs made us look dangerous Cullen: 7.5 his energy and drive was a delight, the driven ball in for the second goal was great too Pratley: 7.5 thought he battled really well, but also played some very cultured football. The step up in division seems to have brought something out of him Gallagher: 8.5 Fantastic goal and looked like he could play another 90 straight after Williams: 8 his running and movement created space for the other attacking players and he offered an outlet on the left Leko: 7.5 tired in the second half but his running and the ability to keep the ball and find space for a cross was great to see Taylor: 8 a goal and an assist in what was quite a quiet game for him, good to see he doesn't seem affected football wise by the past week. Referee: 8 kept the game flowing and didn't book people for niggling fouls, thought he did well
Phillips: 6 .5 might have done better with their goal but solid aside from that
Solly: 6.5 targeted but held his own and grew into it Lockyer: 7 seems to get on quite well with Pearce but may be a bit of a liability in the air and had a phew sloppy passes Pearce: 8 A proper leader Purrington: 7 completely reborn since he joined us. Vastly improving Cullen: 8.5 exceptional. West Hamis loss is our gain without a shadow of a doubt. Such a busy little man and constantly in the right place. Seamlessly picked up from where he was last season Pratley: 8 surely this is not the same guy we had last season. He has been superb put into the play-offs Gallagher: 8.5 i’ve been saying all week this lad looks a bit special. Today did nothing but confirm that for me. He reminds me of a younger yet much better Billy Clarke Williams: 7.5 Excellent. He seems to run into a blind alley but then come away with the ball or a foul. We are very lucky to have him Leko: 7.5 Pretty much what I expected from him. Pace trickery some bad final passes but overall he looks promising Taylor: 7 You can see he did not train this week because he was blowing out of his arse after an hour. He stopped sulking after his goal and celebrated the second goal quite heartily which is a good sign. Now we move on
The management team have assembled a fantastic midfield. I can’t wait to see when all of the new players are slotted in and we start purring. We might just surprise a few this season!
Phillips: 6 - Hard to see from where I was sitting and haven't seem replays yet, but maybe should have done better with the goal. Also playing out of the back at times was quite poor. Everything else was OK. Solly: 6.5 - Shaky start, couple of terrible passes, but again gave his all, defended well. Lockyer: 6 - Some poor passes at times. Pearce: 7 - Rock Purrington: 7.5 - Seems to be growing into a very decent player. Cullen: 9 MOM - thought he was superb, done all the the clearing up of others mistakes, has to be one of the fittest we've ever had, does not stop running, is always available for a pass, was over the moon he returned and hope we can get him permanently. Pratley: 7.5 - right place right time a few times, broke up play well and showed some really nice dribbling at times. Gallagher: 8.5 - grew into the game, well taken goal, pleased for him. Williams: 9 - just pipped to MOM by Cullen - Absolutely class, great ball control and a wonderful ability to just run and attack with the ball at his feet. Seemed fitter too. Leko: 7.5 - exciting player, some things come off, some don't - seems to have a bit more of a football brain than some wingers. End product wasn't always quite there, but great effort and good tracking back too. Taylor: 8 - a little isolated at times, but often when we were under the cosh we would win us a free kick to ease the pressure. Well taken goal! Referee: 8 - thought he did OK
Phillips: 6 Solly: 6.5 Lockyer: 6.5 Pearce: 7.5 Purrington: 7 Cullen: 8.5 as if he had never been away Pratley: 8 unrecognisable from the player who seemed a yard off the pace a year ago Gallagher: 8 quality player and debut Williams: 8.5 great game and deserved ovation Leko: 7 promising debut Taylor: 8 showed why Brentford wanted him Referee: 7
Phillips: 7 Solly: 7 Lockyer: 7 Pearce: 7.5 leader in what was quite a challenging game Purrington: 7.5 Cullen: 9 everywhere. contributed a lot Pratley: 8 Gallagher: 8 Williams: 8.5 they couldn't deal with him Leko: 7.5 definitely a wild card, hpefully a lot more to come from him Taylor: 8 grew into it. Referee: 7 kept the game flowing but I thought let a few too many of their digs on Taylor and Williams go. Still better than most we had last season
Phillips: 7 only mistake was the positioning for their goal. Solly: 7 needed Leko in front of him. They had a lot of space down his side. But solid. Lockyer: 7 couple of misplaced passes and out muscled for their goal, However... generally solid and looks good next to Pearce. Pearce: 7.5 calming influence at the back Purrington: 7.5 good game against tough opposition. Cullen: 9 faultless first half. Second half didn’t get on the ball as much but gets around the pitch. Pratley: 8 he is the experience we need. Top pro. Gallagher: 9 looked good vs Blackburn.. looked brilliant today. Great finish for his goal. Left everything on the pitch. Williams: 9 would’ve been a 10 had he of scored. Pretty much everything going forward came through him. Brilliant display. Leko: 8 quality first half. I’ve knocked .5 off for the miss though. He’s exciting. Taylor: 8 worked very very hard. Good goal and good assist. Can’t ask for much more. Referee: 5 didn’t think he gave a lot and some odd decisions. Should’ve booked Ince for his dive and Gallagher was tripped when through on goal first half. Missed it.
Aneke: n/a great finish. Composure. Like it. Lapslie: n/a the correct change at the correct time.
