Phillips: 7 - didn't have much to do, no chance with the goal
Oshilaja: 8 - superb first half, possibly slightly injured second half, most of our threat came down the right until Williams came on
Lockyer: 8 - the unlucky one with their goal. Unbelievable last ditch tackle though!
Sarr: 7.5 - didn't do much wrong
Purrington: 7 - one big error, but otherwise solid
Cullen: 8 - just does all the dirty work, so calm on the ball
Field: 8 - thought he played very well
Gallagher: 7.5 - much better first half, less effective on the right
Oztumer: 8 - fantastic debut
Leko: 7.5 - scares defences, great assist. Sometimes tries to do too much, slight injury at the beginning of the game i think hampered him slightly
Taylor: 8 - great header. Killer pass not quite there. Lead the line well.
Williams: 7.5 - showed his class!
Referee: 7 - thought he got most right to be fair
Aneke: n/a - Didn't quite happen for him. Won some headers
Pratley: n/a - Tried, experienced head

Oshilaja: 7.5 MOTM - Untroubled defensively, superb going forward in the first half. Faded in the second after getting smashed by Ameobi
Lockyer: 7 - Looked so comfortable in the first and made a great tackle. Got caught square for their goal though and cost us.
Sarr: 7.5 - Very comfortable
Purrington: 6.5 - Quiet but didn't do much wrong. Beat Jenkinson for pace once which was amusing
Cullen: 6 - Didn't provide the thrust and control we needed when we were dominant and that prevented us from really punishing them
Field: 6.5 - Very, very tidy and broke up play well
Gallagher: 7 - Great driving running. Bit ragged towards the end when more composure might have helped
Oztumer: 6.5 - Great start where they couldn't live with him but obviously lacking match fitness
Leko: 6.5 - Really good touch and strength but seems determined to offset all good decisions he makes with immediate bad ones. Should have scored
Taylor: 7 - Great goal. Struggled in the second half when things got stretched
Williams: 7 - Won a million free kicks and did his share of defending
Referee: 7 - Generally good but let Forest get away with too much when it got nasty
Aneke: n/a - Truly awful cameo. Looked like he was playing on a time delay and stopped us from getting back into the game after they scored. Don't think he did a single thing right
Pratley: n/a - Love his ability to trick opposition players into fouling him when there are no passing options. Every time they fall for it

Oshilaja: 8 what an engine! Deserved all the chanting
Lockyer: 7 some fantastic defending at times. Could have done better for the goal and several passes went astray, but having now seen him I quite like him
Sarr: 8.5 he put a pass out of play - total liability, not good enough for the Championship, blah blah blah THE MAN IS A COLOSSUS
Purrington: 7.5 had a tough job and did it well
Cullen: 6.5 some else must be able to take set-pieces? Otherwise decent to good
Field: 7.5 absolute class, you can see why we brought him in
Gallagher: 7 faded, but generally kept it ticking over well
Oztumer: 7.5 while he was on, all our good stuff went through him. Won't hold his fluffed 45-yard volley against him
Leko: 7 great assist, huge shift, argh keep your shots on target argh
Taylor: 8 he certainly can crack this league!
Williams: 7.5 while he was on, all our good stuff hang on I'm getting deja vu. PLAY THEM BOTH LEE. UNLEASH THE DWARF SQUADRON
Referee: 7 eh decent
Aneke: n/a didn't have much chance to get into it
Pratley: n/a he really does seem like a different player with much younger legs, credit is due
Phillips: 7, no issues looked comfortable.
Oshilaja: 8Fantastic performance. Anfernee who?
Lockyer: 7.5 Fantastic, but stepped away from his man to block the loose ball and it fell to his man off his boot. Extra .5 for the last ditch perfect challenge.
Sarr: 7.5 Solid at everything he had to be today, one wayward pass, but play like that and Pearce can have a few relaxing games on the bench.
Purrington: 6.5 not as good in attack as usual and was somewhat slow getting back but was otherwise good
Cullen: 7 Started slowly for me, but improved as the game went on.
Field: 6 A lucky boy. Some good stuff but that challenge was cringe worthy. -1 for what would have been a red if we had VAR.
Gallagher: 7 looked tired but assured and battled well. Unlucky not to score.
Oztumer: 8 Fantastic addition to the squad. We looked so good first half. He does much more than I realised.
Leko: 6.5 Started so well, gets in great positions but messes up the finishes. He had to score that one. -1. Even Josh Parker would have buried that one.
Taylor: 7.5 Typical Lyle, great finish silly booking. Like him for captain when Pearce isn't there.
Williams: 7 6 or 7 fouls in 35 minutes won... Couple of good crosses. Needs to track back more.
Referee: 5.5 - Lost control a bit in the second half as whenever we started to out play together Forest put in a foul. We got sucked in as a result.
Aneke: n/a not cutting it in this or the last game for me. Played well just a couple of games ago, but seems nervous and almost shy since. You're here for a reason Chuks. Own the shirt.
Pratley: n/a standard Pratley. So good at breaking up momentum... For either side sadly. Field and Pratley should maybe be started the other way round.
Oshilaja: 7.5 on that showing maybe we should look for a centre back and play him right back? Only one game though I know
Lockyer: 7 very good at stepping forward to take possession
Sarr: 7 always looks a beast when bringing the ball forwards
Purrington: 6.5 quite quiet
Cullen: 7.5 bosses the midfield
Field: 6.5 quietest midfielder, done much better than the cup game
Gallagher: 7.5 so industrious and has great technique
Oztumer: 8 looked like he's been here for a season already, can't wait to see him fully fit
Leko: 7 tricky to get the ball off him, shame he didn't bury his chance
Taylor: 7.5 great goal and hold up play, thought he was more isolated second half
Williams: 6.5 maybe being slightly harsh as Oztumer was so good in his debut, but he always excites
Referee: 7 good ref

Referee: 7
Oshilaja: 8 - really solid and comfortable on ball
Lockyer: 7 - goal-saving tackle but can his brain compensate for lack of height?
Sarr: 7.5 - hard to fault at all even though he makes me nervous
Purrington: 6 - seems a potential weak link; seems to play at slower pace than rest
Cullen: 8.5 - outstanding; great first yard of pace to beat marker
Field: 6.5 - started well but faded; very lucky with penalty shout
Gallagher: 7 - brilliant first half but faded;
Oztumer: 8 - loved him; like a wasp at a BBQ for defenders
Leko: 7 - great assist but square peg in round hole as second striker
Taylor: 8 - a poor man’s Harry Kane but great nonetheless
Williams: 5 - seemed to be easily shrugged off the ball; preferred Otzhumer
Referee: 7.5 - no complaints from CAFC fans
Aneke: 5 - might be a more interesting option to Leko just behind Taylor
Pratley: 6 - will be a key squad player
Oshilaja: 8.5, MOTM, played like he’s spent his whole career at right back
Lockyer: 8, +1 for best tackle i’ve seen in a long time
Sarr: 7, didn’t miss Pearce because of Sarr’s presence and leadership
Purrington: 6.5, -1 for dodgy backpass that almost led to a goal
Cullen: 7.5, not at his best but still very good
Field: 7, protected the back 4 well
Gallagher: 7.5, good pass to split their defence for the first goal. should have scored
Oztumer: 8, can’t believe he wasn’t getting game time. looked like he’d played for us for years, fit in well
Leko: 7, great cross for the goal, decision making could do with improvement. should have scored
Taylor: 7.5, good movement for the goal, typical lyle causing a nuisance, set up leko well (who should have scored)
Williams: 7, didn’t pose of much as a threat as i hoped he would
