Amos: 5 - a good save with his feet but their second goal was diabolical Gunter: 5.5 - a little erratic at time, especially with his weight of passing Famewo: 6.5 - a little loose on a few occasions but generally solid. His pace and physicality are huge assets Pearce: 7 - won countless headers Maatsen: 6 - a ridiculously naive challenge for the penalty but did ok thereafter and always made himself available Morgan: 6.5 - really poor in the first half but played much better in the last half hour Shinnie: 7 - an outstanding goal to get us back in the game and some very progressive play throughout. His corners were, for the most part, extremely poor, with 4 or 5 of them failing to beat the first man. Maybe we should give Albie a go on a few more F-C: 8: MoTM - he really turned the tide in our favour. His spatial awareness and all round game make him the side's fulcrum Millar: 5 - poor. He could use a rest Stockley: 6 - worked hard as usual but got little to feed off and was generally well marshalled by Rovers' big central defenders Washington: 7.5 - another fine performance Jaiyesimi: 6.5 - a good cameo, which will hopefully boost his confidence Referee: 6.5 - pretty good. I'm all for a bit of communication between players and refs but this guy rabbited throughout and could talk the hind leg off a donkey
Amos: 5 - good save at 1-0 down but then blundered for the second goal. We need a new keeper. Gunter: 6 - passing was poor today Famewo: 7 - some good some bad Pearce: 8 - captain’s performance strong in the air, did well Maatsen: 7 - played mostly well today Morgan: 7.5 - our classiest player, needs a run of games to fine tune his passing. Shinnie: 8 - not been at it since his injury but +1 for the goal which was nicely struck. Terrible corners though. F-C: 8.5 - played well, nice goal Millar: 5 - looks like he’s been told we’re sending him back to Liverpool. Sulky and very poor today. Stockley: 7 - doesn’t offer much except headed goals in the box. Doesn’t have the hold up play of Chuks and is nowhere near as good with the ball in the ground. Also makes us play the long ball game Washington: 9 - MOM worked so hard and the winning goal was typical of his work rate and commitment. Also had a hand in the first goal. Jaiyesimi: 7 - looked better today and offered more than Millar Referee: 4 - some iffy decisions today but he got the sending off correct. Pen looked soft to me
Aneke: n/a - did well when he came on, contributed to the winner as his presence panicked the defender. Brave for the sending off incident too. Pratley: n/a - luckily didn’t have to do much
