Players Marks; Wigan v Charlton (Closes Wednesday lunch time)

Amos: 7 not a lot to do, but did it well, including one very good claim
Matthews: 6 showed the winger inside again, but sharper in possession than recently
Famewo: 7 Assured
Pearce: 8 where was this Pearce recently? 
Maatsen: 6 improving from recently
Watson: 8 awesome 2nd half, everywhere
Smith: 7 very good first half, faded
JFC: 8.5 MoM 
Millar: 7 some positive sparks
Washington: 7 a lot of effort, with some reward with a creditable assist. Better. 
Aneke: 8 well taken, sir

Amos: 6 Didn't need to do much 
Matthews: 7 Felt like he was back to last season's form . Deserves to start on Saturday
Famewo: 7 Did well
Pearce: 7 Real Captain's performance against his old club
Maatsen: 5 Felt his inexperience showed at times 
Watson: 8 This was the Watson that I hoped we had signed . Don't play him alongside Pratley but rotate them
Forster-Caskey: 8 We missed him . Having a left footed player at set plays gave us options 
Smith: 7 A good tidy performance 
Millar: 7 Suspect he was subbed to keep him fresh . Looked dangerous 
Aneke: 8 Matchwinner 
Washington: 7 Worked hard and did what was needed .

Amos: 6
Matthews: 7
Famewo: 7
Pearce: 9 won everything
Maatsen: 5 worries me defensively 
Watson: 8 good holding role
Forster-Caskey: 8 excellent first half
Smith: 7
Millar: 6 becoming one of those frustrating wingers making the wrong decisions
Aneke: 7
Washington: 6.5 worked hard
Referee: 6 good apart from the penalty miss

Amos: 7 I can't see how you can give him anything else 

Matthews: 7 worth sticking with swapping him with Gunter is change for changes sake. 

Famewo: 7.5 

Pearce: 8 gets a 7 for his classic greeco roman free style but we saw the organiser, the real captain tonight.  That's the Pearce we don't see enough of and is almost worth the odd mistake. 

Maatsen: 5 bags of talent but this was a mens game today.  His day will come. 

Watson: 8.5 MOM play him where your get the most out of him and he is very good.  Should be a surprise to no one. The 2nd captain. 

Forster-Caskey: 8  3rd captain, a day for leaders.  Probably our best midfielder and needs another years, at least, contract. 

Smith: 6 see Maatsen but his mobility helps Watson play.  Would pick him ahead of Shinnie and Pratley just on that. 

Millar: 6  see Smith and Maatsen 

Aneke: 7.5 unplayable at times

Washington: 7.5 not sure why people don't appricate his work rate but also slag other playets off for the lack of it? 

Referee: 5.they are all shit aren't they? 

Amos: 7 (Steady)
Matthews: 7 (Solid, doesn't like to get beaten in 1v1)
Famewo: 7 (Composed, reads the game well)
Pearce: 8 (Leader, aggressive defending)
Maatsen: 6.5 (Plenty of energy, but poor decisions)
Watson: 7 (Did a good job protecting the defence and winning balls in the our box)
Forster-Caskey: 7.5 (Best all round Midfielder at the club love his desire)
Smith: 7 (Linked up very well first half, 2nd past him by)
Millar: 7 (Direct, and got in behind but end product lacking)
Aneke: 8 (Caused problems for the whole back 4, so much better in the side)
Washington: 6.5 (Lots of running but no real threat)

Referee: 8 (Felt the referee was in a good position and made clear decisions throughout, only couple to question but he can say he gave it as he saw it with the penalty claim)

Amos: 6
Matthews: 7 - Good runs up the line but not always picked out
Famewo: 7
Pearce: 7.5 - MOM
Maatsen: 4 - A weak link in defence who was targeted, I don't know how Bows can't see this
Watson: 6 - Better maybe because he had two 'movers' in front of him
Forster-Caskey: 7 - Sublime first half but faded
Smith: 6 - Bright first half but faded
Millar: 5.5 - Marked down because he can't shoot and crosses were average
Aneke: 6 - Good goal but he is so slow to react, seems to just wait for the ball which puts us under pressure
Washington: 6 - I tink this current tem need his work rate, speed and energy but very little quality
Referee: 5 - Better than most but that shows how bad the others have been
