excellent team display. Very solid centre backs, there long ball and our centre backs handled that well. Wiggins defended well, got forward well and saved our bacon with his goal line clearance. His understanding with Jackson is fantastic and Jacko got an extra .5 for the winner, and what a winner it was. Centre mids played pretty well, great engines. There engines are so impressive I reckon they could have faced Sheffield United straight after the game. Big concern for me now is BWP - playing ok, not that lazy today, getting in the positions, but a few months ago he would have stuck his chance away and we would have been more comfortable. I would start him against United next week, but I think Haynes should start the next game if he doesn't score next week. Not sayin Haynes is better or definately the answer, but he seems gaggin to get a game and BWP isn't scoring.
Hamer - 7.5 Good display, tided up a lot, was never REALLY challenged, but performed well under pressure and always looked composed. Best display I've seen of him to date. Solly - 8.5 Just love him, again tidies up a lot of stuff, barely lets anything get past him, had Marshall (A guy who apparently supplied most of wednesday's danger points from previous to today) virtually in his pocket the whole game Morrison - 7.5 Did very well against big strong centre forwards, never really allowed them to have a proper grab at goal. Dealt with the high long balls as well Taylor - 7.5 Pretty much the same as above Wiggins - 8 Did well bombing up and down the wing, always links up well with Jackson and saved our skin at the end with a goal-line clearance (i think that was him, he gets an extra .5 for that) Green - 7 Linked up well, had a good game, caused a few problems though wasn't prolific. Hollands - 7.5 Had a great second half, creating chances, making great challenges, bossing the midfielder. Semedo got nothing on him. Pritchard - 7.5 Wasn't doing a huge amount in the first half, was getting pushed about a LITTLE bit, but shone through so much in the second half, great touch, skill and passing ability. OUTRAGEOUS block by Semedo near the half way line which in my books undoubtedly denied him a goal. Impressed on the right wing as well after Russel's substitution, but hope that doens't mean Wagstaff's out of favour. If he'd played in the first half as he did in the second would've given him MOM but unfortunately can't Jackson - 9 MOM WHAT A FREE-KICK! Leads by example and there aren't many better examples. Wouldn't swap him for another Skipper for the world. Wins MOM for leading the team to victory from a tough spot. If it wasn't for his goal and performance I don't think we would've won that one (Although that may sound a little harsh) BWP - 7 Can't wait for him to score again, probably deserved a goal today, was unfortunate not to score against Weaver today but thought Weaver made a good save too... Was disappointed for him. Kermorgant - 8 Won header after header, can't believe a Wednesday supporter called him a devious little twat (or something ot that effect) on another thread, incredibly ironic too. Played well and helped create a handful of chances.
Russell - 7 Did well, kept the midfield strong and good distribution in his time on the pitch Clarke - 6 What kind of a centre forward is in on goal with almost nothing to stop him from taking a pop and passes the ball?! Crazy! Not very impressed ... looked like he wasn't that fit and had no confidence ... maybe needs more time to gel with the team ...

Great team performance celebtrated by the whole squad and fans alike, Jacko gets the extra half for the free kick which I'm sue will be enjoyed by all !
Hamer 7.. Still gives me a few chest pains Solly 9 ..Outstanding all round display and MOTM Morrison 8..Nervy start but giant display seeing as at times he had 5 or 6 six-footers to deal with Taylor 8.. Him too,how did they keepthe clean sheet, fantastic Wiggins8..Top display again, surely we can't fail with this defence Green 8.. caused them lots of problems Pritchard 8..May have been out muscled at times but he outplayed them most of the game Hollands 8..The more they kicked him , the angrier and better he became Jackson 8..Great captains display and a topflight finish Kermorgant7.5.. Held it up well and was a real handful BWP 7.5.. Excellant touch around the box, should have scored but good display.
Hamer - 9 - made a few good saves; ok some of his punches weren't quite as decisive as we might want, but his excellent distribution makes up for it. Seriously. Thought Sullivan did well at Fulham, but we are gifted with an extra outfield player when Hamer is in nets. He also celebrates like a true fan, and gears the crowd up before the game as well. Solly 9.5. Top class. Fights for everything. Never gives up. Picks his time to make a tackle excellently, which for me, is the mark of a truly good defender. Morrison 8.5 Had a shaky start but grew into the game and second half had their forwards (who are tricky) in his back pocket. Taylor 8.5 Ditto. Wiggins 9. Doing tricks on the edge of your own box is never a good idea....unless you're as good as rhoys. Will hopefully get a call up for wales soon. Deserves it. Green 7.5 Played well without the decisive 'green moment' that would've bumped up his mark. Hollands 8.5 Tireless, yet effortless with the ball. Got bashed about by their lumps a fair bit but never let up. Will bust his lungs to get forward whether it's the 1st minute or the 90th. Pritchard 8.5 Don't understand how Hayes & Yeading didn't get into the champions league last year with him. hussled semedo all game, yet could also pick out the right passes. Gave the ball away a few times which was frustrating, but i'm nit picking here. Seems to have slotted in so well to centre mid that i don't understand how he was ever a winger. Was he? Jackson 8.5 Captain fantastic. So mature on the ball and protects it well. And wow. That free kick. Weaver is no mug in goal but that was not being saved by anybody. Kermorgant 8 Worked incredibly hard all game like usual. manages to win a lot in the air and some really nice flicks. Is also a clever player - knows when to go down, and knows when to stay down. Wright Phillips 8.5 Did everything apart from score. Massive confidence player, and i'm sure when the next goal goes in they'll start flowing again, but he has a lot more in his locker than just scoring goals and harangued their defence all game.
Russell n/a Good cameo, shame he didn't score at the end. Clarke n/a Looks promising if not a little rusty. Cort n/a Excellent time wasting sub.
Hamer - 9 - Sullivan is decent but amer is definitely our number one and I thought he was excellent - distribution was excellent - the accuracy of his kick and speed of thought is excellent. Solly 9 Thought this Marshall is going to be a challenge for him - no he wasn't - Solly just went into his 7th gear. Morrison 8.5 They tried to intimidate him and looked slightly nervy at first but quickly got back to being the rock we know he is. Taylor 9 You hardly notice him, he just gets on with his job with calm efficiency. Wiggins 9. What a gem we have picked up here - we need to go up to the Premiership within a couple of seasons as that is his level. Green 8 Always a threat -looking to do something Hollands 9 The secret to beating a midfield with Semedo in it - work your bloddy socks off - that's what he did. Pritchard 9 I think he is getting better and better Jackson 9 What a goal - Shearer and Hansen would be salivating over that one had Rooney done it. Kermorgant 9 Great workrate- looks class - very clever - opponents must hate playing against him 9 I have a theory that when the goals come flowing again this barren run will benefit him. He really looks more of a complete player if that makes any sense.
Sir Christopher - 10 What a bloke, what a manager - where is this going to take us- I'm looking forward to finding out.
MOTM So hard a choice I have to pass- the team collectively!
Hamer - 7.5 Another clean sheet and some great distribution as well as some not so good. Worries me at times and thought we had another Orient moment when he came charging out in the first few minutes. Solly - 9 Excellent again. Got a standing ovation from the travelling fans for one excellent tackle mid way through the second half - says it all really. Morrison - 8 dealt with their thugish, backing in, elbowing, cheating strikers excellently by dishing out the same back. Deserved his moment at the end. Taylor - 8 as with Morrison. Adapted style excellently to cope with the different threat. Brilliant centre back partnership Wiggins -8.5 A typical Wiggins performance, rampaging down the wing but also superb in defence. Premiership bound - hopefully with us. Green - 8 Always a threat and very hard working. Great delivery at corners and now a very important part of the team. Hollands - 8.5 battered and bruised by bully boy tactics, but never stopped and did not lose possession. Pritchard - 8.5 a brilliant find. So much energy and creative as well. If we can bulk him up we will have an exceptional player here. Jackson - 8.5 A calm head amongst the chaos - always available for a pass and uses it really well. Was much missed and what a goal! Kermorgant - 8.5 Another typical Yann performance. Best i've seen in the air since Bartlett, holds up play really well and offers intelligent flicks. Wright Phillips - 8 Worked hard and should have scored. All round play was great though and never stopped running into the channels and harrying their thugish cheats at the back.
ex-addick watch:
Semedo - 6 started well but faded with the game passing him by: He's useless you nooooooo, you'll always get past Semedo - superb. Llera - 5.5 oh dear! Song was brilliant - felt a bit for him though. Remember Swindon at home. Anyway, so glad we've moved on from these 2. Weaver - 8 Solid performance from a reliable keeper. Kelp them in the game early second half with a brilliant save from BWP. Could not understand why he was getting booed by some CAFC in attendance.
A pleasure to be there, and to have a bet on JJ for the 1st goal ;-) thought SCP totally out thought Megson with the way we set up both in possession and without the ball, brilliant!
