Amos 9.5 MOM Huge, huge performance. Not tested from range but made some stunning point-blank saves and was assured in windy conditions Solly 8 MUCH more like it from Solly. His work for the goal was superb Konsa 8 A very confident showing and brought it forward nicely Bauer 7 Gave away too many fouls; otherwise solid Sarr 7.5 Out of position but played very well. Beaten a couple of times down the wing but generally very imposing Kashi 7.5 A really tenacious and thorough performance. Not his best passing today but tough conditions Forster-Caskey 8 Absolutely essential to have players like this, both in defence and in attack. So much energy and desire. Adding goal-poaching to his game has turned him into one of our most dangerous players Holmes 6.5 Had an extremely bright moment early on; thereafter didn't threaten much. Still played with good drive Fosu 7.5 So many free-kicks won, so vital to our attack, and disciplined in defence Clarke 7 Thought he generally played well and was sensible in possession. Could have scored Magennis 7 Won loads of headers and worked tirelessly. Could have been a little sharper in front of goal a couple of times
Amos - 8.5 MOM, 2 astonishing saves at the end and dealt with everything they threw at him. Solly - 8 Solid, back to the levels we are used to, and set up the goal with the cross (i think). Konsa - 7 Solid Bauer - 7 also solid. Sarr - 8 Good game, first hals especially Kashi - 6.5 didnt notice him much tbh Forster-Caskey 7 same as Kashi - extra half for the goal. Holmes - 6.5 ordinary game - seems to run down blind alleys all the time Fosu - 6 Quiet game, but did cause some problems when on the ball which was rare. Clarke - 6 unlucky with first half shot that skimmed the post Magennis - 5 Just doesnt get in the game, failed with shot at end with only goalie to beat.
Amos 9 Two absolute World class saves at the end Solly 7.5 best game in ages Konsa 7.5 Dealt with everything with ease Bauer 7 Fwew silly mistakes first half, superb second half Sarr 8 Out of position however he was absolute superb Kashi 7 Great shield for the defence, no thrills performance Forster-Caskey 8 Best game in ages and got the goal too. Well played Holmes 7 Not his best of games, however his quick thinking with the throw began the move for the goal. Fosu 6.5 Played well in spells, tries to do too much sometimes and his decision making is a bit suspect at times. However can't complain he is on fire at the moment Clarke 6 Should have scored in the first half, felt he should have been swapped for Reeves about 20 mins earlier then when they did. Magennis 5.5 Isolated again, looks knackered and not getting into games as much. Desperately needs a rest however it cant happen till after Wimbledon. Shame we don't have a ready made striker like Vetokele to replace him.
Amos: 9.5 - MOTM I counted four excellent saves. The header from the corner near the end, having watched it back I'm pretty sure the ball was behind him when he got a hand on it.
Solly: 8 - Very solid performance. A great 1-v-1 defender. Doesn't offer a lot going forward these days, but still very good. Should add, some of him not getting forward too much is clearly by design, and I think it felt more stark today because we were often pinned back and also because we didn't have DaSilva.
Konsa: 9 - Hope his performance doesn't get lost amongst the ones great others because he was absolutely immense winning headers, getting blocks in, and take the ball off of attackers' feet.
Bauer: 8 - Very solid yet again. Was up against two strong, powerful center forwards and never backed down.
Sarr: 8.5 - A brilliant shift as a 6'6" left back. Won his headers, closed down the crosser. Had one moment where he miss-judged a header which let them in but he wasn't the only one in those conditions. This is what competition for places looks like, who do you drop in defence next weekend?
Kashi: 9.5 - Unlucky to be shaded on MOTM by Amos. This was peak Kashi. Got in the way of everything. Blocked shots. Made tackles. Does such a great job of stopping the ball and stopping the attacking. Too good for this level, hope nobody notices.
Forster-Caskey: 8.5 - Another game, another really solid performance from him. The goal, albeit scrappy, was so key. He works so hard to get up and back, and it was good to see it finally paying off. Deserved a goal as much as anyone based on recent performances and finally got one (I know he had 2 already this season). Also too good for this division. Also hope nobody notices.
Holmes: 7.5 - Relatively quiet but effect. Scares defenses and presses well in the opposition half.
Fosu: 7.5 - Didn't quite come off for him today, but he still looked very solid going forward. At times a bit greedy, but with his form, it's hard to fault him too much, and he'll learn. Assist.
Clarke: 6.5 - Wanted it to work so badly for him. Had our best chance in the first half but put it wide. Really struggled to get into the game for most of it. Grew into it a little. Still put in a good shift and covered his fullback well, which is the task he's been assigned of late. It's thankless but important.
Magennis: 7.5 - Works so hard for the cause. He makes so much of what we do in attack possible. It's not sexy, but it's effective and important. Unlucky not to score at the end when it went just wide. He also desperately deserves a goal.
Amos 8.5 The reaction save first half was magic, the save from the header second half a worldly
Solly 8. Mr consistent isn't he. Tireless and as KR says, one of the best 1 on 1 defenders around. Konsa 8. The lad has a big future, he's a lump of a boy for jobs age too. Bauer 7.5 big fuckin German. Was staunch. Sarr 8.5. Hibsquality teaally did shine through. Composed ball player. Kashi. 7.5 broke up their play and played smart football Forster-Caskey. 8.5 same as kashi, plus a goal! Holmes 7. So pleased to see him play, he's a strong little fucker, not easily knocked off the ball. Fosu. 7.5 Tricky, caused em problems Clarke 7. Tidy. Should of had a better effort when he had sight of goal. Maginess. 7.5 Works so hard, won a lot today but nothing really fell for him, he busted his bollocks last 15 mins to help us get over the line.
Kashi: 9.5 - Unlucky to be shaded on MOTM by Amos. This was peak Kashi. Got in the way of everything. Blocked shots. Made tackles. Does such a great job of stopping the ball and stopping the attacking. Too good for this level, hope nobody notices.
Amos - 9 MOTM two unbelievable saves second half plus at least one first half. Earned us the points today, so glad to hear everyone cheering his name at the end!
Solly - 7.5 busts a gut, does look like he can be targeted by pace thought
Konsa - 7.5 shirked a few headers early on but grew into the game
Bauer - 7 gave away some free kicks but think the ref was buying their complaints more than anything
Sarr - 8 looked a little nervous at the start but did well to shut their advances down, even got forward a few times!
Kashi - 8 everywhere today, passing not quite up to the usual standard but defensively so good
Forster-Caskey - 9 thought he was having a cracker today even before he scored, like Kashi getting everywhere but also created more fruitful attacks and forced one top class save from their keep. If Amos hasn't had a worldy he'd have been my motm.
Holmes - 7 forced a save or two, much prefer him on the wing where his runs are more useful
Fosu - 7 no goal today? Useless! In all seriousness, he worked hard today but shooting boots weren't on
Clarke - 6.5 some bright spells then faded, he needs to be central more
Magennis - 6.5 got into some great positions but couldn't score. Desperately needs a rest I think.
Amos: 10 (MOTM) - Clean sheet and three huge saves, surprised nothing is being said of his block just before the double save at the end Solly: 8 - Fosu will get the assist for the goal yet the goal was created by Solly!! Konsa: 7 - Good game from the youngster Bauer: 7.5 - Playing really well and barely making a mistake in a disrupted Defence (Complete opposite to last season) Sarr: 8 - Played out of position yet you wouldnt realise it... Now thats why he played for Lyon and Sporting CP Kashi: 9 - Him and Forster-Caskey do the work that doesnt get noticed but it was today... they were both brick walls!! Forster-Caskey: 8 - Not as good as Kashi but did well to get that goal, very well timed with the run Holmes: 7 - He's being targeted as our dangerman which is making his job harder Fosu: 7 - I know he's on a purple patch but does need to pass more rather than shooting Clarke: 7 - Going through a rough patch but confident he'll return to his early season form, not helped by the opposition of late Magennis: 7 - Had nothing to work off
Amos 9 - 4 amazing saves throughout the game - pleased for him. Solly 6 - Konsa 8 - solid and composed, few good runs. Bauer 8 - solid again, BFG! Sarr 8 - had me in stitches when he bombed down the left with pace but delivery hit row Z. Solid at the back though. Kashi 8.5 - great performance, 1 mis placed near the end could've been costly. Forster-Caskey 8 - got the goal, played well. Holmes 6.5 - being double marked, worked hard as usual. Fosu 7 - tricky Clarke 7 - tidy enough Magennis 5 - thought he was quite poor, didnt control any ball played into him, and shot wide at the end to wrap up the game. But yes put himself a bit. Hopefully a well needed rest will do him wonders.

Maybe should have scored but thought he did well... Dasilva's ball wasnt really the best and it allowed Bradford to get back
Magennis ultimately shouldnt have been able to have shot
