Hamer - 5.5 Didn't seem to want to roll it out today but maybe that's because Tranmere pushed up on our back four.
Solly - 6 Some good interceptions and a steady game but offered nothing offensively.
Morrison - 7 Solid game.
Taylor - 6 Didn't seem to have a lot to do. Maybe that's because there wasn't much to do.
Wiggins - 6.5 Defended ok and showed a real willingness to get forward.
Green - 5 Not up to much but was hardly given the ball. Needed to tuck in a bit and see if he could get some of the flicks from Kermogant but sat out on the wing and watched the ping-pong.
Holland - 6 Did ok but was by-passed most of the time. One excellent tackle in 2nd half.
Stephens - 5.5 Tried to play but looked a bit out of it. Again, was by-passed.
Jackson - 5.5 Good penalty and did well to keep his concentration. Not a lot else.
Kermorgant - 5.5 Tried hard and shouldn't be blamed for poor tactics. Free-kick was half decent.
Wright Phillips - 5.5 Missed Hayes. Running onto flick ons isn't his game. Making runs for Hayes through balls is. Missed a good chance but was the only player to show the merest glimpse of skill.
Wagstaff 5.5 Unlucky not to start but would've found it hard to shine in a game like that.

Hamer - 6.5 No chance with their unfortunate goal.Solly - 6 Did OK against a v.physical side. Positioning was good. Not a lot of help from Green. Not his fault for the goal.Morrison - 7 Very good. Love it when he's on the ball. I can relax.Taylor - 7 I don't think Showunmi won anything against him. For that reason, he's my MOM.Wiggins - 6.5 better going forward .Green - 5 Poor.Holland - 6 Done all he could do.Stephens - 5.5 poor today.Jackson - 6.5 Didn't give up. Great pen after all the madness in the box.Kermorgant - 5.5 give him time to gel with BWP properly.Wright Phillips - 5 seemed more reactive than proactive.
Thought crowd had a great deal of difficulty getting up for this one and at times you could hear a pin drop, that said when they did get going they were loud, as an olden can't say i liked the quality of their lyrics, but then thats cause I am an olden I suppose.
From their side I liked Showunmi and both Morison and taylor will have know that they had been in a game.
Its no good complaining about Tranmere tactics they were not a surprise and we should have had a game plan to cope, they are not the first to come to the valley and play like that this season and they won't be the last.
Hamer 4 Never really had a difficult save to make but almost conspired to ship 3. Sullivan will be in next week.
Solly 6 Got turned around for the goal.
Morrison 7 Strong as ever
Taylor 6 Struggled with big enoch in the first half.
Wiggins 7 Got up well, although he was isolated
Green 5 I lost count of the great crosses, the number of times he beat him man and the shots he got on target. I say I lost count, it was more that I didn't start.
Holland 5 Didn't get going, he's so vital for us.
Stephens 6.5 One of his better games, got stuck in and played the ball well
Jackson 5 Abandoned the wing again, which left wiggins isolated
