Hamer.7 Didn't have that much to do . Did well today. Solly.7 Very solid and reliable display. Morrison.7 Solid and strong. Shame they just missed out on a clean sheet. Taylor. 7 Battled well. It was nice to see the old cb pairing together again. Evina.7 Good display. Really growing into the role. Wilson . 7 Started slow but finished strongly. Pritchard.7 Not dominant but very tigerish. Stephens.7 Still a mixed bag of quality and errors. Wagstaff 7.5 My MOM. Great to see him start. Took his chance well and scored into the bargain.Really pleased for him. Jackson.7 Great display today. And a nice goal. Seemed to take forever to go in. Kermorgant.7 Tough role today and you could see his frustration at being the lone frontman with no one running off him. Did well though. A special mention for Harriot. A very exciting prospect with so much pace. I can't wait until this guy is starting games.
Hamer - 7 Solly - 7 Delfouneso gave him a test, but he passed it with flying colours Taylor - 7.5 Cort will certainly not just walk back into the team if Taylor keeps playing like that! Morrison 7 Has a habit of passing back to Hamer even when he has time and space to pick out a pass upfield, and Hamer did tell him as much at least once. Evina 7 Wilson 7 Pritchard 7 Stephens 8 Would have been maybe a 6 on first half performance but he really turned it on second half. Jackson 8 Good goal, Proper captain. Much more effective centrally than out wide Wagstaff 8- .5 for the goal, full of running, well taken goal, hassled and harried, welcome back Waggy Kermorgant 7 Stranded on his own, but through tactics not a lack of effort, battled manfully and never gave up.
Harriott n/a I did love that enthusiasm! And speed as well, here's hoping he can develop into Haynes with thighs that aren't made of tissue paper.
Hamer 7 Did all that was asked of him no chance with the goal
Solly 7 Seemed to struggle a bit early on by his usual standards but gradually grasped the ascendancy and was his normal consistent, reliable self. Worked well with Wilson.
Taylor 7 Solid as if he'd never been away. Vital clearance off the line from Phillips early on.
Morrison 7 Much more like the Morro we know and love after some recent flaky performances
Evina 7 Impressed me today perhaps because he could have confidence in Waggy tracking back
Wilson 8.5 Worked like a trojan and combined well with Solly. Great cross which led to Waggy's goal. My MOM just from Jacko
Pritchard 7.5 Not so prevalent on the ball as usual but off it buzzed like the proverbial blue arsed fly to stop Blackpool playing after their intial 15-20 minute flurry.
Stephens 7 Worked hard today both on and off the ball.
Jackson 8.5 Thrived in a more central position. Led from the front with his goal and that sweet left foot played some delightful passes. Impossible to leave out on today's form
Wagstaff 7.5 An amazing performance from someone who has had so little football. Off the ball relentlessly closed down and tracked back. On the ball a clinical finish, a possible penalty and some incisive interceptions and passing. Ran himself into the ground.
Kermorgant 8 Much more like the Yann we know and love. Held it up, brought others onto the game and a great spectacle watching Blackpool players bounce off him! Played an important part in Waggy's goal with his nuisance value.
Harriott n/a Pleasant cameo. The hard work had been done though so not getting too excited just yet. Fuller n/a
Hamer 7 Little to do. No chance with goal Solly 7 Never has a bad game Taylor 7.5 Great return to the team Morrison 7 Getting back to his best, works well with Taylor Evina 7 Growing in confidence, sometimes gives ball away cheaply. Wilson 7.5 Very impressed, looks class at times Pritchard 8 Running out of good things to say about Pritch Stephens 7 Good, but could be so much better Jackson 7.5 Captains performance Wagstaff 8.5 Changed the team and brought out the best in team mates. Could be the answer to our left sided problem. Kermorgant 8 Play it on the ground to Kerms and he'll pick out sublime passes and flicks to create chances. Back to full fitness and it shows
Harriott n/a Very exciting cameo. Could be a star in the making. Fuller n/a
Hamer 6 - Hardly troubled bar an injury time shot he had no chance with. Solly 7.5 - I don't think he enjoyed playing against Delfonso who had a physical presence and good skill, but the fact he stayed on top of that battle shows his true class - great link up play with Wilson for the second. Evina 7.5 - Defensively, he was very solid indeed Taylor 8 MOTM- Couldn't fault him. Made a statement today that he is good enough at this level. Morrison 7 - Solid Wilson - 7.5 We have something a bit special with him and Solly - they play so well together. Jackson 7.5 - Has to play in the middle at this level, but definitely getting to grips with the league. We all know that he has goals in him which is a priceless commodity. Stephens 7 - Had great tempo to his play - meant not everything came off- but played well. Always looking to do something positive -makes him a key player IMO. Prichard 7 - So much of what he does is without the ball - some might judge him solely on what he does with the ball - but then they miss the point. Wagstaff 7 - Great work rate, He is a limited player IMO but he know where the goal is and a useful addition to the squad. Kermogant 8 - Bullied their defenders and had a very effective match.
Another note from the game- every time I have seen Harriot I have thought he has something about him - I think he confirmed that with his short cameo today.
Hamer - 6 Nothing to do. Solly - 8 Defended very well. Taylor - 7 Good positional play. Morrison - 7 Back to looking good. Evina - 7 Can make this position his own with a few more good performances. Wilson - 7.5 Liked his cross and the ball out to the right wing with the outside of his foot. The new John Robinson? Pritchard - 6.5 Energetic. Stephens - 7.5 Looked good. He's been playing ok recently. Jackson - 8 Brilliant finish with his right foot. Scuffed or not...it went right in the corner. Lots of good tackles and interceptions. Understood the game plan. Wagstaff - 7.5 Covered Evina very well and tried to link play. Striker's instinct for the goal. Worth his place for that alone in a side that sometimes struggles for goals. Kermorgant - 7.5 Got better after a lazy 15 mins at the start with lots of arm waving. At times his lack of movement made the 4-1-4-1 look a bad choice but once the others got closer to him he was integral to the success. It's taken him some while to return to sharpness after his long lay off....think he'll be good now until the end of the season.
Hamer 7 -Not too much to do. Solly 8 - Excellent as ever Taylor 7.5 - gets an extra 0.5 for slotting back in the team seamlessly, and fortitude after head clash in the first half. Morrison 7 - Steady defending. Not so silky on the ball but he is a centre back. Evina 7.5 - shackled Ince who got barely a sniff Wilson 7 - good running, good cover and combination with Solly. Pritchard 7.5 - technically not brilliant but tireless running until the end. Stephens 7.5 - some good passes and some misplaced ones. Put his foot in for a change. Benefited from the space created by the hard work of Wilson, Pritchard and Wagstaff. Jackson 7.5 - good today Wagstaff 8 - Did well. Great running & enthusiasm. Pleased to see him do well and score. Can he maintain this level of performance ? MOM Kermorgant 7 - stuck at the lone frontman role, got better with improved passing to him.
Harriott n/a - Thats what a right wing looks like. A good substution when he came on. The mazy run scared the life out of the right back and made Blackpool think twice about throwing everything forward. Fuller n/a - Didn't quite understand the substitution. As KMG dropped down into midfield and he was knackered. That decision contributed to the Blackpool goal.
Hamer - 6.5 - Marked down slightly for some very uncharacteristic wayward kicking Solly - 7 Taylor - 7.5 - Solid/tidy/no nonsense. Pretty much reminiscent of every one of his performances for the first 3/4's of last season. Morrison - 7 Evina - 7 - Still looks slightly nervy at times, but on the whole did very well today. Says a lot that Ince had very little impact. Wilson - 7 Pritchard - 7.5 Stephens - 7 - Only a seven because his errors and silly free kicks he gives away really frustrate the hell out of me. Jackson - 7.5 Wagstaff - 7.5 - Knew he'd do well today, as always does when he gets back in the team. Really hope he can keep it up if given a run. Kermorgant - 7.5 - Had the hardest job out there and carried it out very, very well.
Couldn't decide on a man of the match. What was really pleasing though, was seeing players that weren't even automatic starters in league one last year holding there own in the championship.
Hamer 6.5 - Bit flaky with some of his decisions Solly 7.5 - excellent as ever Taylor 7.5 - Thought he did well considering lack of games Morrison 6.5 Evina 7.5 Wilson 7 Pritchard 7.5 - Never stops running! Stephens 8 - Few mistakes but made up for in his tackling and some great passes Jackson 8 - Great defensive work and 'wobbly ball' goal Wagstaff 7.5 - great to see him back Kermorgant 8.5 - Ran his socks off Harriott - N/A - Terrific cameo and some nice tricks and pace - want to see more
Hamer 6 Didn't have much to do, kicking was off Solly 6.5 Was given a torid time by Delfonso in the first half, allowed a few crosses in Taylor 7 Good to see the big guy back, got that one off the line early on. Looked a threat on corners. Morrison 7 solid Evina 7 Linked well with Waggy Wilson 7 Covered back well, some good crosses Pritchard 6.5 Didn't really get into it, but worked hard. Stephens 6 Broke up play well, but poor going forward Jackson 8 Glad to see him in the middle, he's a nightmare out wide. Wagstaff 7 Constant threat Kermorgant 7 Classy on the deck, held it up well Harriot was a real box of tricks. Look forward to seeing him again.
Hamer - 7 Solly - 6 I thought by his high standards he was under par Taylor - 8 Morrison - 7 Evina - 7.5 Wilson - 7 Pritchard - 6.5 Energetic. Really needs to improve his play inside the 18 yard box then he will be a hell of a player. Stephens - 8 Jackson - 8.5 MOM A captains perfromance Wagstaff - 7 Kermorgant - 7 Played a role he doesnt like well.
