Some of you marking Watson so low make a mockery of the ratings. He was calm assured and positionally sound. Some very good short quick passing. You can’t base your ratings on your preconception of a player
Amos: 6 good save near the end . Matthews: 4 not sure if he is worse than Gunter . Pratley:5 not his old self tonight . Pearce: 6 didn't do a lot wrong. Oshilaja: 7 thought he was great 1st twenty minutes. Purrington: 7.5 my MOM . Jaiyesimi: 4 appalling. Shinnie: 6 started well ,but can't do 90 minutes . Watson: 3 one of his better games but still pony . Millar: 5.5 not sure what was wrong with him tonight. Stockley: 6 should have had a hat trick. Aneke: 5 didn't get into the game at all . Referee: 6 ok.
Amos: 6.5 mixed night. Matthews: 6 looked better in Champ. Pratley:6 never hides. Pearce: 6 coming to the end Oshilaja: 6.5 played everywhere. Purrington: 7 taken off when playing decent. Jaiyesimi: 5 why not play him on the wing ? Shinnie: 6 hot and cold. Watson: 6. passed well first half but slow alongside the equally slow Shinnie. Millar: 5.5 nothing came off for him. Stockley: 6.5 plays well if fed. Aneke: 5.5 couldn't get into game. Referee: 6 not his fault we lost. The lino put his flag up.
Amos: 5 - Ball comes into his six yard box. doesn't get close to it. Matthews: 4.5 - poor tonight. Haven't seen the Mathews of old much this season. barely gets a game though. Pratley: 5.5 - not sure why he was at centre back? Pearce: 5.5 - average game. Oshilaja: 6 - possibly our best winger. what a joke. Him and Purrington could of done better for their first goal. Purrington: 6 - him and Oshilaja tried their best to create something with little success. Jaiyesimi: 4 - not one decent cross. poor in the air (with one up front he unfortunately had to try and win balls in the air, not his game) lazy at tracking back. 3 and half years?? slightly concerned. should/hope he gets better. Shinnie: 6 - our only midfielder. did ok first half and was unlucky with his free kick. second half he drifted out of the game which left us with no one in the middle. Watson: 4 Millar: 4 - why not on the left wing in first half? LB's poor tactics more to blame. Stockley: 7 - extra mark for the goal. like Saturday he puts himself about. we rely on him a hell of alot. Aneke: 5.5 - controlled the ball well a few times. Referee: 7
This gets more painful every game, I have tried giving up but can't.
Amos: 6 could have done better for both Matthews: 5.5 better than Gunter Pratley: 5 he actually plays OK but brings the whole team down too much, he is the person we use to play the 'attacking' ball. All passes go to him and then he just boots it long. Pearce: 6 tried hard, did nothing wrong Oshilaja: 7 actually played well. I thought he was our weak player 20 games ago, but he is now one of our best. Not sure if that is a good thing or not! Purrington: 7 why on earth was he taken off? Jaiyesimi: 5 actually thought he was good in possession in the first half, but atrocious out of possession. Shinnie: 6 started so well and looked a cut above but drifted as they sussed him out. They knew we had nothing else. Watson: 5 some good interceptions but for rme the DM has to be the most dynamic player on the pitch Millar: 6 see Shinnie really. Stockley: 7 but we can't expect him to win balls that over the course of thegame have him needing to run further toward his own goal to challenge for. Aneke: 5 not so good Chuks turned up, although I have some sympathy for him Referee: 6
Maatsen: n/a - has massively gone backwards but when your old pros aren't doing it then you can't expect an 18yo to. Schwartz: n/a - Smith: n/a
Generally the substitutions and tactics thereafter where shocking, I can take being beaten (no I can't) but wtf was that all about?
Amos: 6 Matthews: 6 Pratley: 6 Pearce: 6 Oshilaja: 6 Purrington: 6 Jaiyesimi: 5.5 (Deduct half a mark for switching off on the throw in for the 1st) Shinnie: 7.5 (Another assist, unlucky with fk) Watson: 6 Millar: 6 Stockley: 8 (MOTM)
Amos: 6 - A couple of saves. Matthews: 5.5 - Did some good things but overall he's rusty (in one game and then out for the next couple). So limited in the final third. Crossing is weak and had a chance to get in at the far post 1st half but hovered outside the area. Not suited to wing-back at all. Pratley: 6 - Made some decent interceptions. Pearce: 5.5 - Didn't appear to win much. Oshilaja: 6.5 - Left-sided centre-back but was one of our more effective wide players. At times it was difficult to know what his role was meant to be. Purrington: 6.5 - Thought he did ok. Got things moving down the left and at least used his wing-back licence to pop up in the box (unlike Matthews). Jaiyesimi: 5 - Some nice touches early on and ran into the channels a couple of times but again seemed unsure of his role. Was he centre-forward? Was he a No.10? Shinnie: 5.5 - Some really good bits in the first 20 mins and then disappeared almost completely. Clearly has ability but we don't seem to have got the best out of him. Watson: 6.5 - Started very well. Played the ball early (often one touch into someone further ahead) and made a couple of good sliding interventions. Millar: 5.5 - Plenty of effort but totally overdid things 1st half. Curbishley said he kept operating inside but he was also out wide a few times 1st half and chose to fanny about instead of crossing for Stockley. Shooting was crap. Stockley: 7 - Another day, he'd get 2 or 3. We just need to get the ball in the box more often. Aneke: 5 - Didn't do a lot. Referee: 6
Maatsen: n/a - Kicked the ball out a fair bit. Schwartz: n/a - ? Smith: n/a - Fell over.
Amos: 5 although he made 1 or 2 good saves they are saves u would expect the keeper to make. His kicking isn’t great and he should of been better positioned for 1 if not both goals, if in league one next season like looks of it Maynard brewer should be no.1 Matthews: 4 ok at times poor at times Pratley: 5 wasn’t great wasn’t awful Pearce: 3.5 game passed him by u Wud think he was Pratleys age with his lack of pace Oshilaja: 6 ok Purrington: 7 our best defender and prob motm Jaiyesimi: 4 was poor he has something think maybe a case of trying too hard and not even having freedom to run at ppl with strange system bows played Shinnie: 5 standard shinnie excellent corner few nice passes but then missing for large periods Watson: 6 a lot of tidy break up play and short passes marked down for a couple of wayward longer ones Millar: 5.5 our best player by a long way but not his night this eve Stockley: 6.5 battled as always and another goal Aneke: 5 couldn’t get into game much Schwartz think he touched the ball once agree with another poster stick him in u23s whenever there next game is get his confidence n match fitness up Maartsen can be hard coming on chasing game but seems a diff player to one at start of season lack of composure every time on ball Referee: 6 ok.
bows 3 he dropped/rested Gunter he tried to change a formation which seemed in first 15 to be working then clearly after equaliser and rest of first half was really not and our to supposed attacking threats dj and millar were left trying to get the ball n getting the ball in unthreatening positions how in his comments he feels we were unlucky n didn’t deserve to lose we got bar 2/3 times but they had chances too n out played and out battled us
Amos: 6 - No chance for either goals and some decent saves Matthews: 5 - Thought he played alright Pratley: 6 - Decent Pearce: 4.5 - Not great Oshilaja: 6 - Decent, good ball in for Stockley to nearly score in first 10 Purrington: 6.5 - overlapped well with Millar and got back well Jaiyesimi: 4 - Largely absent, but never given the ball to feet either Shinnie: 6 - Another assist, was the lynchpin for the team whilst we played well Watson: 5 - Slow, remember when we had Josh Cullen? Millar: 5 - Started well then got kicked out the game a bit, we're too predictable and rely on him Stockley: 6.5 - Another good goal, but became our only outlet as well. Aneke: 5 - Didn't contribute a lot Referee: 6 - No real complaints
Amos: 5.5 Matthews: 5 Pratley: 5 Pearce: 5 Oshilaja: 5.5 Purrington: 5.5 Jaiyesimi: 4 Shinnie: 5 Watson: 5 Millar: 5 Stockley: 7 Aneke: 5 Referee: 7 annoyed about the disallowed goal but that was the lino's call. Didn't notice him really, which is usually a good sign
Amos: 6: I thought he might have tried to get something on the looping cross for the first goal but maybe that’s unduly harsh Matthews: 5 - has never had a run of games and his game has suffered by being the designated second choice right back Pratley: 5.5 - at least showed a bit of urgency Pearce: 5 - continues to look vulnerable Oshilaja: 7 - one of our few good performers on the night Purrington: 7 - ditto. He had our only two efforts on goal in the second half and was inexplicably hooked minutes after the second Jaiyesimi: 4.5 - poor Shinnie: 6 - a really strong start to the game (his set-plays are much better than JFC’s) but visibly faded as the game went on Watson: 5 - an excellent first 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the game lasts 90 minutes plus and he is not up to it Millar: 5 - grew increasingly frustrated, as very little went right for him. Playing in 2 or 3 different positions during the game probably didn’t help Stockley: 6.5 - he totally dominated Burton’s defence in the first half. He didn’t get a single decent cross in the second, as Bowyer tinkered with formations and we resorted to hoofball Aneke: 5 - unable to make any impact, although Bowyer’s decision to play him behind Stockley and Schwarz (you could see Ronnie passing on the instruction when he came on) baffled Chuks and the rest of us. Yes, he’s played their before for MK Dons but Aneke had only been alongside Stockley for 15 minutes before the change. Referee: 7 - I thought he did ok. Are we really sure that our disallowed goal was the wrong decision ? It looked too difficult to call watching it on Valley Pass.

Pearce: 3.5 game passed him by u Wud think he was Pratleys age with his lack of pace
Oshilaja: 6 ok
Purrington: 7 our best defender and prob motm
Jaiyesimi: 4 was poor he has something think maybe a case of trying too hard and not even having freedom to run at ppl with strange system bows played
Shinnie: 5 standard shinnie excellent corner few nice passes but then missing for large periods
Watson: 6 a lot of tidy break up play and short passes marked down for a couple of wayward longer ones
Millar: 5.5 our best player by a long way but not his night this eve
Stockley: 6.5 battled as always and another goal
Aneke: 5 couldn’t get into game much
Schwartz think he touched the ball once agree with another poster stick him in u23s whenever there next game is get his confidence n match fitness up
