Players Marks: Charlton Athletic v Plymouth Argyle

Amos: 7.5 Only because he had so little to do. I don't think any of us would have conceeded today in goal! (edit - seen he made a great save in first half - I thought he didnt touch it at the time - raised score by a point)
Dijkstreel: 7.5 Very composed- when his touch let him down a couple of times his strength allowed him to recover.
Pearce: 7.5 Solid
Bauer: 7.5 Solid
Page: 8 Very involved down the left, great goal -extra half point for the goal
Reeves: 8 All over the place, but in a good way in this game. PLaying like that, you can see what the big deal in signing him was- he sort of joins the team together.
Forster-Caskey: 7.5 Very involved - our midfield looked a division above theirs ability wise
Aribo: 9 MOTM Best I have seen him play
Fosu: 7.5 Not his total best but still pretty good, I thought should have had a penalty and came within a whisker with a curling effort
Ajose: 8 Very pleased for the lad - showed he has an all round game and was an important cog in the wheel - unlucky not to score.
Zyro: 8.5 Quality, won headers, good touch. Good header for the goal - though he should have scored in the second half.

I thought ref was terrible - their number 19 was as dirty as they come. Giving them a free kick when he went into Bauer in the first half was as ridiculous as you get. the 19s arms were all over the place and he played the man rather than the ball - the only time he got pulled up for it was when he did it in front of the lino who gave the foul. Somebody should tell league one refs that the game is football.

Why were we so different? - I think our tempo was much quicker than I have seen it all season and playing Zyro and Ajose definitely made a difference. Well done Bowyer and JJ.

Amos: 7 very solid

Dijkstreel: 7.5 wholehearted, physical. Feel like he got away with a few things - hardly cultured

Pearce: 7.5 led well

Bauer: 7 half a mark off because I had to explain to my Uncle what the F in BFG stood for. He is quite friendly, though.

Page: 7.5 looked like a good replacement for the guy who's been our best player this year. Didn't get injured. Hurray!

Forster-Caskey: 7 quietly effective. Keeps the midfield ticking over

Reeves: 6 Not great on the ball, but worked hard of it.

Aribo: 8.5 Really classy. Wins the ball, uses it very well.

Fosu: 8.5 played behind the front two in a 4-3-1-2 and was at the heart of much of what we did going forward. Not everything came of, but very creative.

Ajose: 8.5. Just nicks MOM from Joe and Tariq. An absolute revelation. Fast, creative, and exciting to watch. We have so missed having a forward like him.

Zyro: 6.5. Did ok. Grew into the game after a slow start. Missed some decent chances. Glad we don't over-use him as a target.

Fosu: 7.5

On Zyro. Yes, should have scored one of them - cost him MOTM for me.

So much better, we actually looked like a football team again trying to win a game. Massive well done to Zyro and Ajose. Top stuff

Amos: 7
Dijkstreel: 8.5 superb MOM (no surprise I've thought he should be playing all season)
Pearce: 8 commanding captain's performance, one of his best, if not his best Charlton game
Bauer: 7.5 excellent strong game
Page: 7.5 extra half for the great goal, but also had his best game for Charlton by a long way
Forster-Caskey: 8 excellent one of his best if not best Charlton game, perhaps because he didn't have to play sidewards
Reeves: 7 his best Charlton game, he was even running to the end
Aribo: 7.5 arguably his best Charlton game
Fosu: 7 played well
Ajose: 7.5 did everything right, worked hard, deserved a goal, best game for Charlton by a country mile
Zyro: 7.5 best game for Charlton played really well.

Bowyer/Jacko 10

KR leaves and all our players are outstanding. I wonder why ?

Amos - little to do 7
Dijsteel -8 Watched him from the lower West take the ball from their attacker at least 3 times in the second half. Would be difficult to replace him with a fit Solly.
Pearce - 8 Immense in defense. Played a real captains role.
Bauer - 8 great partnership with Pearce.
Page - 8 Didn't realise he was so good.
Foster- Caskey 7.5 best I've seen him play.
Reeves- 8 covered every blade of grass. His best game for us.
Aribo - 7.5 Improving as he gets more game time.
Fosu - 7.5 Always dangerous.
Ajose - 8 Talking to Plymouth supporters after the game and they thought he was our best player.
Zyro - 8 Real center forward player . Held the ball up and played intelligent passes and scored a goal.
Our returning internationals/injured players may find it difficult to get back into the team.
Early days but encouraging.

Amos: 6.5 Little to do but what he had he did competently other than that first half free kick!

Dijkstreel: 7.5 Grew into the game after a shaky start. I think midfield may prove to be his best position ultimately but a more than useful stand in for Solly too on today's form.

Pearce: 7 Solid Pearce performance. At this level a player we've missed and well done on two tunnel jumps!

Bauer: 7 Solid and managed to stay on the right side of a referee who looked to be hunting him down with an early yellow.

Page: 7 Lasted well given his lack of games through long term injury and what a cracker of a goal!

Forster-Caskey: 7 Did the water carrying bit really well. Knocked off 0.5 for his awful corners. Three or four failed to beat the first defender.

Reeves: 6 No criticism of his effort and commitment today but for me his impact is negligible. Not sure what he brings or is meant to bring.

Aribo: 7 Stuck to his task well and worked hard without really producing any outstanding individual moments.

Fosu: 8 Shades man of the match for me because of his persistence. He comes back for more even when the oppo are kicking him and offers a real outlet with his ability to draw a free kick. Frightens defenders too and gets me on the edge of my seat. Not many Charlton players have managed that of late.

Ajose: 7.5 Has he got a twin? The bloke who played today worked hard an offered a real goal threat. By far the best I've seen from him.

Zyro: 7.5 Took his goal clinically and could have scored a couple more. Grew into the game and looks a decent player. Giving Robinson the benefit of the doubt maybe he wasn't match fit when he joined but one wonders why we haven't seen more of him given our lack of goals.

Amos 7.5 one great save was all he really had to do, but he did it.
Dijksteel 7.5 out of position an awful lot, but overall some nice stuff
Pearce 8 Lead by example, some great tackles and looked like a leader out there.
Bauer 8 really good today alongside pearce
Page 8 best i've seen him play even besides his goal - add that, what a goal!
Forster-Caskey 7.5 great game today but had to knock him half a point, corners, practice them for gods sake man it's driving me nuts!
Reeves 7 average
Aribo 8 Very close for MOM for me today
Fosu 7.5 if he could improve his decision making he'd be in the championship as a regular by now.
AJose 7.5 warming to him, still doesn't look part of the team, end of the games he's off and down the tunnel without speaking to another charlton player.
Zyro 8 starting to show his quality at this level, I hope they stick with him and rest Josh for a few games.
