Cullen: 7 Always a 7 out of ten - win or lose Aribo: 8.5 That's more like it Joe - lost .5 for not winning a couple of midfield challenges he should have, but apart from that a class apart Ward: 7 involved - unlucky with free kick that hit the post Taylor: 7.5 Usual Taylor performance Grant: 8 Caused them bags of problems Vetokele: 6 Did ok
Referee: 7 whistle happy on soft fouls, didn't have any clangers Steer: 7 at least one great point blank save that I recall, kicking a bit wayward Dijksteel: 7 really like him, did well but sometimes got skinned Biliek: 9 motm rock in defense, some superb playing out the back Pearce: 8 excellent leader and defender as always Solly: 7.5 did well defensively, not used much going forward Reeves: 8 some great passes some over hit Cullen: 8.5 got everywhere, superb tackles and in possession Aribo: 8.5 best performance from him for a long time in both attack and defense Ward: 7.5 some outstanding passes but faded Taylor: 8 great performance as always Grant: 8 always available, good running, plus the badly needed 2nd goal Vetokele: 6.5 not as good as Taylor or Grant

Thought Marshall did well when he came on.
Dijksteel only ever overtly vulnerable when he’s not supported properly - either from midfield or centre backs moving across.
One particular example yesterday when he was isolated and not supported and they ran round him like a training mannequin.
Referee: 6.5 Better than most we've seen at The Valley so far this season.
Steer: 6 Heart in mouth with his shaky kicking under pressure from Marquis but general keeping ok. Not a lot to do.
Dijksteel: 6.5 Did his job. I assume he is under orders not to overlap.
Biliek: 7 Good to see him back
Pearce: 7 Solid. 'Shit Lyle Taylor' didn't get much of a look in.
Solly: 7 Consistent typical Solly performance.
Reeves: 7 Extra .5 for his pass to Taylor which enabled the second goal.
Cullen: 7 Really came into it in the second half
Aribo: 7.5 His goal gives him the extra .5 to make him my MOM. In recent games I've seen he's faded in the second half. Not yesterday.
Ward: 7 In Bowyer's image. Nasty little so and so which is just what we need. He deserved a goal with his free kick which struck the post and late run and shot which their keeper saved.
Taylor: 7 Worked hard and instrumental, along with Reeves, in Grant's goal despite not being 100% fit. Hope that hour yesterday doesn't mean a long lay off.
Grant: 7 A constant threat and deserved his goal.
Vetokele: 6.5 Nothing good or bad. I hope he can get back to the Igor we know and love from a few seasons back.
Referee: 7 - his first yellow was too harsh, then he failed to maintain consistency, then was criticised for it, then booked 5 more players and there was hardly a bad tackle all game.
Steer: 7- saved one important one early on, but not really much to do.Some poor kicking.
Dijksteel: 8 GREAT, his positional play was spot-on, and his covering back was also faultless.
Biliek: 7 - we look better with him in the defence.
Pearce: 8 - made two "proper defender" headers to kill the danger.
Solly: 8 - loads of effort as always. Does what it says on the tin.
Reeves: 6 - a fine defensive tackle at an important time, but at least six overhit passes.
Cullen: 6 - steady, I like his corners.
Aribo: 9 MOM - even without the goal, his play in the first 15 mins and the last 15 mins was first class.
Ward: 6 - I'm not sure about him yet.
Taylor: 7 - he is a handful and does not shy away from a tussle.
Grant: 7 - some great touches when out left in the first half, good goal.
Vetokele: 6 - don't think his heart is with Charlton anymore.
Steer: 6 Dijksteel: 7 Bielik: 8.5. MOM. A class above this league. Pearce: 7.5 Solly: 7 Reeves: 7. Much more consistent and one magnificent tackle. Cullen: 8. Excellent throughout. Aribo: 7. Missed a couple of sitters but always involved. Ward: 6.5 docked a point for two stupid acts of petulance that the referee missed for which he could easily have been sent off. Taylor: 7. Extra point for that cross. Grant: 7. All over the place in more ways than than one! Great energy, dreadful touch. Vetokele: 4. Poor. Expected better.

Dijksteel only ever overtly vulnerable when he’s not supported properly - either from midfield or centre backs moving across.
One particular example yesterday when he was isolated and not supported and they ran round him like a training mannequin.
Give him the support he needs and he’s solid.
Agree with everything else.
I do understand your point and can see how that is sometimes the case. I still think he could do a bit better in that respect though.
Steer: 7 In the first 10 mins made two good saves that kept us in the game. Dijksteel: 7 A better performance than in the previous 3 games Biliek: 7 solid back to his best performances Pearce: 7 a good leader of the back 4 Solly: 7 had a good game, was not supported enough by Aribo who I assume was supposed to be ahead of him. Reeves: 8 Great clearance of the line, for a small bloke a hard tackler and did not give up harrying there midfield. Cullen: 6 I felt not at his best Aribo: 7 left Solly on his own to often, should have been ahead of him when he received the ball from Steer and was looking to pass it forward. To often Aribo in the centre circle. Ward: 6 A solid performance, got caught on the ball a little to often. Taylor: 7 As well as setting up goals and running defenders ragged, he defends well. I am usually nervous to see a striker defending but not with him. Grant: 7 made the defence nervous and is using his upper body strength well. Vetokele: 6 Thought he did what he was instructed to do.
Marshal, thought he had a good cameo, made two good passes into the Doncaster box that gave us two chances to score.
Referee: 6 - Did control the game but got a few decisions wrong. Steer: 7 - Best game for us and his very early save set us up for the win. Distribution positive but wayward on occasion. Dijksteel: 7 - Settled after frantic start and did well 2nd half Biliek: 8.5 - So good - interceptions, tackles, won headers, dribbles, passes; very good performance! Pearce: 7 - Solid, and a real battle against Marquis. Solly: 7 - Good first half but looked so much more comfortable when at right back for the last fifteen minutes Reeves: 7.5 - A key player for us as he creates so much. Cullen: 8 - Excellent at the base of the diamond; never stops and always involved. Aribo: 7 - Typical Joe with some good bits (like the toe-poke for the goal) and some poor. Ward: 7.5 - Pushed further forward and they struggled to cope with his positivity; had to be careful not to get sent off though! Taylor: 5.5 - Not fit but tried hard Grant: 7 - Much better as he kept the ball more; bit lucky with the goal though. Vetokele: 6 - Did OK while on and a good workout ahead of this week when he'll be much busier.
Steer 6 Crucial save at the beginning. Good handling, improved distribution from last week Dijksteel 6 Ok, better than Rochdale Pearce 7 Ever dependable Bielik 8.5 Immense Solly 7 Consistency returning Cullen 7.5 Never stops working Reeves 7.5 Good range of passing, crucial tackle on Alfie May Aribo 8 Got his goal, left his mark on the game Ward 7.5 Fiery character. Love to sign him Grant 7 Got in some great positions Taylor 6.5 Put in a great shift despite being hampered Vetokele 6 Lively when he came on
