MacG: 8 Matthews: 8.5 superb, that's the Matthews we know Lavelle: 7 unlucky with the Injury Pearce: 8 proper captains performance Famewo: 8 fantastic Purrington: 8 superb game Dobson: 8 great game done the job he was meant to Gilbey: 8 solid Leko: 9 superb Lee: 8.5 what a fantastic showing today Stockley: 8 superb Washington: 9 MOTM I thought he was superb, chased everything, fantastic showing Referee Rocky Drysdale: 7 thought he was good barring not picking up on Onien trying to take Stockleys shirt all game
MacG: 7 - didn’t really have much to do, but was strong going for balls in the box. I like him a lot. Matthews: 9 - A mercurial performance, aggressive in & out of possession. Lavelle: 7 - did ok till he went off Pearce: 8 - Captain’s performance as expected in a game like this Famewo: 8 - Similar to Pearce, strong in the air, bit ropey in possession, but there’s a player in there that can be developed. Purrington: 8 - I don’t rate him, but he was excellent today, should’ve scored, but besides going Timo Werner at the back post, was very very good. Dobson: 9 - He’s excellent, does all the leg work, grafts, gets stuck in, keeps the ball moving, Watson with legs. Gilbey: 7.5 - Ran all day long, his athleticism is such a plus in the midfield Leko: 10 - MOM for me again, had their full back on toast all game long. A truly class player & would do anything to keep him forever. Lee: 7.5 - Pops up in good positions, always looks forward with the ball, we’re a better team with him in there. Stockley: 8 - Scored a great goal, defended well, if JJ’s going to use the big striker in this role, i’d rather Davison as he’s more mobile, but can’t complain. Washington: 9 - I think he’s still running now, his work ethic was so vital today, just a shame he’s technically not great & supremely 1 footed Referee: 7 - Consistent most the game, bit nitty gritty, but kept control of them game.
MacG: 8 good saves good game management Matthews: 9 outstanding first half, faded a bit second Lavelle: 7 good until his injury, unfortunate Pearce: 7.5 grit and determined, a few handsy moments forgiven by a lenient ref Famewo: 8 good covering and worked well in the new formation, but still shaky at times Purrington: 8.5 brilliant, suits the formation but should have scored Dobson: 9 did the dirty work so well, always covering the back 3 which we’ve really missed Gilbey: 7.5 arguably less effective than against Accrington strangely Leko: 8.5 terrorised them on the flanks and had to be doubled up on, made the wrong (greedy?) choice at times Lee: 7.5 sometimes great but faded and needed to be subbed Stockley: 7.5 scored but looked a bit whiney apart from that Washington: 8 runs his bollocks off but never looks like scoring Referee: 8 actually liked that he let a lot go, although he probably should have given stockley at least one extra free kick
MacG: 7 Solid Matthews: 9 That's more like it Lavelle: 7 Solid Pearce: 8 Well done Pearcy Famewo: 7.5 Much better Purrington: 8 How he wasn't playing on Tuesday is a mystery Dobson: 9 I have always liked him. I think those that haven't seen what he can offer may have done so today. Gilbey: 7.5 His legs were important Leko: 9 Their left back looked good but couldn't handle him - Good defensive worl Lee: 7 We are a better team with him in it Stockley: 9 All round game was superb Washington: 8 Lacks composure but ran his heart out
JJ Great change of formation. The blue touch paper has been lit.
MacGillivray: 7 - Much better, two decent saves early on and then solid Matthews: 8 (MOTM) - Dobson and Leko did great, but Matthews has been torrid of late Lavelle: 6 - Hope his injury isnt serious, struggled with the surface early on Pearce: 7 - Mr Steady, proper skipper's performance Famewo: 6 - Better today, but still gave away a damned silly free kick at one point Purrington: 7 - Almost ALMOST gave us a replay of his goal at Wembley Dobson: 8 - Outstanding!!!!! Gilbey: 7 - Has been good having him back Leko: 8 - Sunderland couldnt handle him, simple as that Lee: 7 - Tidy as always, his Dad enjoyed that result even more so than usual Stockley: 7 - Took his goal well, was much better with his link up play this afternoon Washington: 6.5 - He's a nuisance and can be wasteful, but think we're a better team with him playing
Referee: 6 - Better than some of the usual referee's that we have to put up with
MacG: 7 - couple of good saves early on Matthews: 8 much better today Lavelle: 6.5 - was doing well before injury Pearce: 7 - solid performance Famewo: 8 - Famewo of old Purrington: 8 - should have scored, but solid Dobson: 8.5 - the sort of player I thought we had signed based on what I saw pre season. Pratley/Watson with legs and vision Gilbey: 7 - solid if unspectacular Leko: 8.5 - our main outlet, and did well defensively too! Lee: 7 - fairly quiet, but tried hard Stockley: 7 - good goal, lots of running and good battling Washington: 7 - lots and lots of running, defending from the front Referee: 6.5 - I can see why Sunderland were moaning, but he did miss a few things for both teams
Clare: n/a added some fresh legs and did well DJ: n/a too little time, but did well even defensively!
MacG: 7 Matthews: 8 Lavelle: 6.5 Pearce: 8 Famewo: 7 Got better as the game went on Purrington: 8 Dobson: 8 Gilbey: 7 Leko: 9 My MOM for playing so well defensively in a pretty alien position for him, I was amazed by one recovery tackle he made Lee: 7 Stockley: 7.5 More like it Washington: 6.5 A great team player, but not a massive goal threat Referee: 7 Didn't fall for some of the nonsense, and correctly booked Purrington for time wasting (whereas the ref on Tuesday was ridiculously lenient with their keeper)
