MacG: 6.5 V little to do but found Stockley well a few times. Clare: 7.5 Cruised through in his new position. Pearce: 8 Didn't give them an inch. Famewo: 9 Outstanding. Forwards are just bouncing off him at the moment. D.J.: 6.5 Didn't offer as as usual much going forward but helped see them off early on. Gilbey: 9 Just about the perfect midfield performance; fantastic workrate, skill, passing, and running with the ball. Dobson: 8.5 Great to see so much energy combined with a football brain. Lee: 7.5 Not at his best but still worked really hard. Purrington: 7.5 Combining so well now with the more advanced players. Stockley: 7.5 Appealed for too much at times but really troubled them second half. Washington: 8.5 All that was missing was the finishing. Incredible effort. Referee: Excellent. Made it clear early on that he'd ignore pathetic dives and let minor infringements go to aid the flow of the game.
MacG: 6.5 - Nothing to do Clare: 6.5 - Few risky misplaced passes tonight, but by no means bad Pearce: 7 - Solid. Odd Rugby tackle Famewo:8 - Very solid at the back, good outlet as well D.J.: 6.5 - Seemed a little off the pace after an early knock. Cross it more Gilbey: 9.5 - Love his movement and workrate. Bursts through the lines in attack. Very tidy finish Dobson: 8 - Tenacious as ever Lee: 6 - Could have scored a hat trick, deliveries not great tonight. Purrington: 7.5 - Good defensive display. Confident in him on the left Stockley: 8 - Won a lot of ball. Great link up play Washington: 8.5 - Runs hard and very intelligently. Could have had a couple but for good saves Referee: 9 - Didn't fall for dives, managed the game well. Cards out when needed and nothing more. Linesmen also very good with offside calls I thought (admittedly from my seat in the Upper North though...)
Leko: n/a - poor. Was worried he would be the cause of an equaliser before we got the 2nd
That wasn’t an odd rugby tackle, it was perfectly executed.
MacG: 6 needs to come for crosses Clare: 7.5 Has made that place his own Pearce: 8 was missed Famewo: 7.5 good, but he'll cost us a goal soon D.J.: 6.5 Will be lucky to keep his place now Leko is back Gilbey: 8 Anonymous for 20 minutes, then everywhere Dobson: 7.5 A young Monty Burns Lee: 6.5 Got better second half Purrington: 7.5 Should have scored but did well to get forward Stockley: 8 So much better with support Washington: 9 ubiquitous. Give him a contract asap. Referee: 7 homer
MacG: 7 - Nothing to do, can't low score him for that! Clare: 7.5 - Looks settled/class in his new position, couple of errors which fortunately led to nothing Pearce: 7.5 - Much needed organisation at the back, docked 0.5 for the daft tackle/grab from behind Famewo: 8 - Assured and strong D.J.: 7 - Quiet up top but did his job well at the back. Stopped running the wings early doors, maybe carrying a knock? Gilbey: 9.0 - Excellent work and goal Dobson: 9 - Great game, what a young talent Lee: 7 - Busy and great through ball for 2nd, Needs a goal/a bit more composure in front of goal. Set piece deliveries were sometimes poor Purrington: 7.5 - Good defensively - needs to be given the ball wide in attacking positions more often Stockley: 8.5 - Great hold up play and composure for the goal Washington: 9.5 - MoM. Never stops running and does it intelligently. Wish he could stick it the net more often but had their defence run ragged Referee: 9 - Very good.
Leko: n/a - Agree with others, not good and seems to be playing for himself, not the team at times. Overplays and always a risk of losing the ball in a dangerous position - feared one of those would lead to an Ipswich equaliser
