Hamer - 5 Poor distribution today and some wayward kicking. Really tried to rush things in the last 20
Solly - 6 Did nothing wrong, looked better when Waggy was on
Morrison - 7 Solid at the back - got forward a lot yesterday leaving room for them to break away and asking more of our midfield.
Taylor - 6 Seemed to have a quiet game, can't remember him doing anything memorable.
Wiggins -7 Looking more and more a quality player and better than this level
Green - 6 Quiet game, some good crossing, didn't want to seem to beat the full backs yesterday. His throw in (he gets every other one right) are a dangerous weapon.
Hollands - 6 He actually had a solid game in midfield and works really hard. However, he gave the ball away a few times, was too ambitious with some of his through balls and should have scored with his close range header.
Russell - 6 Not convinced he is 100% match fit as seemed a bit behind the pace. Bonus point for his goal line clearance.
Ephraim - 6 Some good crossing and always looking dangerous, but we didn't get the ball to him enough - particularly Hamer.
Kermorgant - 7 Just so good in the air. Caused their defence lots of problems with his movement.
Wright Phillips - 6. Had an off game, did see a bit disinterested at times but was tightly marked by their No.6 who was their MoM and had a blinding game at centre half. Good to see him play the full 90 minutes though.
Our bench looked weak yesterday, with a few names missing, like Hayes, Hughes and Evina.
Hamer - 7 Not much to do but did ok. Solly - 6 Did manage a few good interceptions late on. Morrison - 7 Stayed tight and tried to get in first. Taylor - 7 Same as Morrison. Wiggins - 7 One very poor cross in 2nd half from a great position but still played well. Starting to do the Powell thing of putting his body between player and ball. Very quick feet and I'm convinced someone will make an offer for him from higher up. Green - 5.5 Didn't happen today. Was well marked. Hollands - 7 Lots of headers and blocks. Don't think his chance was especially easy even though it was close in. Russell - 7 A good engine and a lot of commitment. Looks like he's been on the team all season. Ephraim - 7 Looked like he might wriggle through and score a couple of times first half. Kermorgant - 7 At the centre of most of our best moves (which often left him outside the area when the cross came in). The one time he got on the end of a cross he scored with a bullet. So good to have a centre forward who can really head. Wright Phillips - 6.5 he's not going to take every chance he gets but still moved well and tried to link the play. Agree the 6 dog for Walsall was superb. Wagstaff - 6 the King of Whinge needs to stay on his feet where possible and stop trying to ref the game. He has ability (and we all know he's a nice lad) but needs to let his football do the talking. That way he might get back in the team and will feel less frustrated. Looked pacey.
Hamer - 6 Kicking wasn't good at all. Solly - 6 Can't quite bring myself to mark him a 5, but he wasn't on form yesterday. He was backing off their LW too much in the first half. Morrison - 7.5 Solid Taylor - 7.5 Wiggins - 7 Played well I thought Green - 5 Very little creativity for a player that is keeping Waggy out the side. Hollands - 6.5 Good shift, missed a sitter late on. Russell 7.5 - Strong & fast Ephraim - 8 Best player on the pitch Kermorgant 7.5 - Won everything in the air, but without BWP on form it came to little. Good goal. Wright Phillips 6 - Not bad, not great.
Hamer 6 Solly 6 Morrison 7 Taylor 6.5 Wiggins 7.5 Surprised others haven't marked him higher, the majority of our best play came down the left. Green 6 Hollands 7 Russell 7 Ephraim 8 MOM I wonder if people are confusing him with Russell as they look similar from a distance. Clearly best player on the pitch today. Kermorgant 7.5 Wright Phillips 6
Hamer6 - poor/erratic distribution, 1 good save Solly 6.5 - turned inside out in first min but responded pretty well Morrison 7 - solid and looked as though he could cause them probs from set pieces Taylor 7 - solid Wiggins 7 - quite good going forward Green 6 - hard to mark, general play was below par but many of our dangerous moments came from his throws Hollands 7 Russell 5.5 - poor Ephraim 7 - promising but other than the cross for the goal end product was lacking Kermorgant 6.5 Wright Phillips 5.5 poor game didnt get much service but at his most hard working
Waggy - his direct running did cause an extra problem or 2 for them Was on the pitch for almost 2 mins before he was berrating the linesman and ref
