Amos: 6 Distribution was not great, laying on the ball for nigh on 30 seconds towards the end wound me up, but otherwise, did well Famewo: 7 It looked like he tweaked something in the first half and thereafter played within himself a bit, but that doesn’t stop his quality at this level from shining Pearce: 6.5 Nearly created one keystones cop moment by cutting across Famewo’s space, but otherwise solid again and pleased he is back on his game after a rest out of the side Maatsen: 6 Better than recent performances, but capable of more, as we saw earlier in the season. If he does want to play at the highest level, he will need to perform at the top of his game more often. Watson: 6.5 Two pretty good game on the trot, but some of his distribution yesterday was really frustrating and he knew it, was equally frustrated with himself. At least that showed he cared, which was good to see and I was questioning 3-4 games ago. Smith: 7 Tidy, like him, if he can build further in confidence, could be very useful in the run in. F-C: 8 Busy, assured, unlucky when he got in the box for a power header over the bar. Millar: 6 Can’t fault his attitude and willingness to run, just seemed to make the wrong decisions in the final 25 yards yesterday and read the game, overlaps a bit slowly. Aneke: 6 Worked hard enough, we miss his dynamism when not on the pitch and he should not let his physical side worry him. He will pick up bookings, as will Stockley, but we have enough in reserve now to let them play to their strengths. Washington: 6 Run Forrest, run... Gunter: 7 Best game in a while. Thought his yard steal and cross in the first half was a really nice bit of quality and hope we see some more of that... Stockley: 7 Flicks, runs and a well earned penalty with that turn in the box. He wants his starting place back, good on him! Referee: 7 No complaints
Amos 6, spilled a couple of shot and kicking out poor. Fame 6, did miss judge the bounce of the ball often and hesitated one time in hope the ball would run out. Pearce 6 head clearance not great, also showing his lack of pace. Maatsen 6 good going forward, lucky his pace gets him out of trouble when he is out of position. Smith 6 struggled to contain his man. J F-C 7 one of his better games and the main driver of what we did well. Millar 7 he was a handful for them his decision making in and near the box let him down. Aneke 8 won nearly every ball in the air that came to him, hold up play good. Washington 6 ran more than usual and got back to defend. Gunter 6, solid can not remember any outstanding incident. Stokley 6 anonymous Mathews 5 Schwartz 5 Shinnie 5 Jaiyesimini 5 These last 4 made very little impression.
Amos: 6.5 Famewo: 5.5 more errors than we've come to expect Pearce: 6.5 Maatsen: 6.5 more of a threat today Watson: 6.5 Smith: 6 F-C: 6 Millar: 6 Aneke: 6 Washington: 6 Gunter: 6 Stockley: 6 Referee: 6 gave most 50-50s there way till the penalty. Most of the time didn't notice him which was good
Amos: 6 - a quiet afternoon Famewo: 6 - seemed to be struggling a little with a slight pull after 20 minutes or so. I hope he's ok for Tuesday Pearce: 6 - did alright Maatsen: 6.5 - better than last Tuesday defensively and got forward well on a few occasions. He plays better when Millar is on the left and they're a good combination Watson: 6.5 - a reasonably tidy performance. Will he get another suspension when he picks up his 10th yellow card ? Smith: 6 - looks a good player, although he faded a bit in the second half F-C: 6 - a quieter game Millar: 6.5 - frustrating but always a threat Aneke: 6 - tends to get very frustrated when things don't go well or he's deprived of any decent service Washington: 6 - made some intelligent runs, especially early in the game, but lacks some quality on the ball Gunter: 6.5 - pretty solid and produced our only good cross of the game, which JFC couldn't quite get over Stockley: 6.5 - always a threat at this level Referee: 6 - a bit fussy (like most refs these days) but generally ok and was well positioned to award the penalty
Amos: 6 - a few spills from tame shots but otherwise didn't have alot to do. Famewo: 6.5 Pearce: 7 - dealt with a lot at the back. Maatsen: 5.5 - pretty poor going forward and left space for their winger on a few occasions. Watson: 7 - actually managed to pass the ball forward. Did his job of helping out the defence. Smith: 6 - started ok but soon went out of the game. F-C: 6.5 - in the second half he was barely noticeable. Millar: 5 - doesn't want to cross the ball for some reason. Kept making the bad decision when he did have the ball. Aneke: 6 - held the ball up ok but he should be played more central than he was. shame that he got a yellow as then it was inevitable Bows wasn't gonna keep him on. Washington: 5 - runs around. no touch. Gunter: 6 Stockley: 5 - didn't really get into the game. Referee:
