For those of you at the Valley tonight your marks out of 10 please:
Hamer 6 - Bit eccentric tonight, unsettled by defensive change Morrison 6 - Not a right back, back in the centre please at Brighton Dervite 6 - Good header for the goal, not as steady at the back tonight Wood 5 - Struggled a bit for me tonight Wiggins 6 - looks like he played them onside for the first goal, played well though Cousins 7 - Solid as ever, very versatile Poyet 8 - Excellent, hardly misplaced a pass. Can't believe how young he is Ajdarevic 7 - What a shame he can't seem to last more than an hour. Good goal Jackson 7 - Solid calm performance as always Reza 7 - Thought he played well tonight, missed a very good chance though first half Sordell 7 - Best game for some time. Deserved his goal
Obika n/a - Worked hard, wish he could control the ball better Harriott n/a - Did ok when he came on, I prefer him on the left Cort n/a< Good to see him back.
Hamer 5 (you just knew he was going to have a mare from the very first minute!) Morrison 6 Dervite 7 Wood 5 Wiggins 6.5 Cousins 6.5 Poyet 8 (gets better with each game) Ajdarevic 7 (quality) Jackson 7 Reza 6.5 (loses marks for bottling it on the half way line) Sordell 6.5 (for his tap in and better second half)
Hamer 6 - forced into punching a lot of the time. Couldn't do much for 1st. Poor for 2nd Morrison 6 - definitely not a right back. Not his fault no other choice with nego playing last night and Wilson injured. Dervite 7 - good goal and good clearances but poor for their 2nd Wood 6.5 - some good blocks. Wiggins 7.5 - looked good and composed and got forward. Cousins 7.5 - some good passing and great tackles. Poyet 8 - just class. Tough for me between him and AA but just edges MOM. Ajdarevic 8 - was definitely tiring before coming off but not surprised. Excellent shift Jackson 7.5 - good work rate. Very much involved Reza 7 - OK he bottles 50\50s but he gets involved and not afraid to try attacking. Want to see more. Sordell 7 - right place for goal. Thought he had a poor 1st half, good effort in 2nd half. Hopefully see him and reza again starting saturday.
Hamer 6 Looked decidedly shaky early on, but improved in second half. Morrison 6 Full marks for effort, but gave ball away too often. Dervite 7 Solid, plus a well taken goal. Wood 7 Also looked solid. Wiggins 6 Defensive play was very suspect. Cousins 7 Good game, constantly looking to be a threat. Poyet 10 Absolutely outstanding in everything he did. Ajdarevic 8 A class player, but still not fully fit. Jackson 7 Good performance. Reza 8 Really improving and settling into English football. Sordell 7 Good performance, nicely rounded off with a goal.
Hamer 5.5 Morrison 5 Never play him RB ever again Dervite 7.5 Wood 6.5 Wiggins 7.5 Cousins 7.5 Poyet 8 Ajdarevic 7 would be higher but he tires too quick Jackson 6.5 Reza 7 Sordell 6.5
Hamer - 5 Not his best game Morrison - 6.5 Done his job for the team - extra point for that Dervite - 7 Good game Wood - 6 ok Wiggins -8 very good Cousins - 7 Good game I thought Poyet - 8 Competed well, along with the quality Ajdarevic -7.5 very good Jackson - 7 much better than Saturday Reza -7 did well for third - went at them Sordell - 8 MOTM Not everything was perfect, but their defence feared him - which influenced the match - such an important factor in the game. Best game for us I thought.
Hamer 7 Morrison 6.5 Dervite 7 Wood 6 Wiggins 7 Cousins 7 Poyet 6 don't know how any can say he had a good game, loads of dreadful passes Ajdarevic 7.5 Jackson 6 Reza 8 Sordell 8
Hamer 6 Morrison 5 woeful with Astrit in front of him giving zero support. Dervite 7.5 Extra point for his goal. Wood 6.5 Wiggins 7 Best game for quite a while. Cousins. 7.5 Played in several positions. Terrific. Poyet 8 Ajdarevic 7.5 Some show boating at 3-1 up! Jackson 6.5 Reza 7 Creative and quick. Missed a good chance. Sordell 7 Tap in goal gave him confidence. Better today.
Hamer 6 - shaky (did he fall over just before their first?) Morrison 7 - not a RB, not a 'ball player', gave it a good go - they constantly went at him looking to exploit lack of pace Dervite 7 - extra point for the goal Wood 6 Wiggins 7 - at fault for their first goal, worked hard to make up for it Cousins 8 - crunching tackles Poyet 8 - class probably MOM Ajdarevic 7 - nice skill and vision, great goal, lack of fitness Jackson 6.5 - not a great game, good delivery for Dervite Reza 5 - just don't see the point...for me, a waste of a man on the pitch (yes, I know he scored at Leeds). Point for setting up Marv Sordell 5 - isolated too much (not his fault), complains too much, falls over too much, gets the ball stuck under his feet, tries to run through men rather than round them (and falls over after numerous step overs), extra point for goal and comedy shot later in the second half
Agree with Harriot comments too - nearly gave it away on the edge of the area right at the death...put your foot through it, don't try and walk it out...fortunately Yeovil shot wide...
Hamer - 6 Could he have done better? His latest tweet suggests he thinks he could have. Morrison - 8 I thought Morro was excellent in his estranged role. Not sure why others disagree. He played a part going forward too. Dervite - 7.5 Would have preferred him at RB but great goal. Wood - 6.5 Wiggins - 7 Played Grant onside for the first goal but otherwise very good Cousins - 8 Back to his best lately. Getting stuck in and a calming influence. Poyet - 9 Class. What a pass to Reza for the 3th goal! Ajdarevic - 7.5 Great goal but he needs to remain active for 90 minutes. Jackson - 7 Thought Jacko remained available and tried to get the team going Reza - 6 He always takes up the weirdest positions. Admittedly he played alright today but that's against his usual terrible standards. Sordell - 7 Thought he did a decent job at holding the ball up actually. Well done for anticipating the keeper's spill too!
Hamer 5.5 not his best game, thought he was at fault for 2nd, first took a deflection, did make a couple of good saves Morrison 5.5 out of position, got better Dervite 6 made some defensive mistakes. Is he now our joint top scorer? Wood 5.5 Wiggins 6 some good runs Cousins 7.5 excellent break up play, went on a run himself at the end of the 1st half Poyet 8 everywhere. Ajdarevic 7.5 if he could do a full 90 would get more, great goal, good play and creative going forward. Jackson 7 lead by example Reza 7 bit light weight but was looking to play the pass and go past his man. Need both Sordell 6.5 best game I've seen him have for us. It wasn't a great goal, but he was in the right place at the right time, like a striker should be
Obika n/a Harriott n/a - thought he added some threat when he came on Cort n/a
Hamer 7 Morrison 6.5 Dervite 7 Wood 6 Wiggins 7 Cousins 7 Poyet 6 don't know how any can say he had a good game, loads of dreadful passes Ajdarevic 7.5 Jackson 6 Reza 8 Sordell 8
Hamer 5.5 Morrison 5 Never play him RB ever again Dervite 7.5 Wood 6.5 Wiggins 7.5 Cousins 7.5 Poyet 8 Ajdarevic 7 would be higher but he tires too quick Jackson 6.5 Reza 7 Sordell 6.5
Hamer 7.0 some kicks were awful a couple sublime. Not sure where he was going for the second? Not at fault for the first. Morrison 5.0 got an assist but not a RB gave the ball away a lot and couldn't control it on the touch line more often than not. Also a foul throw. Dervite 7.0 great headed goal, fairly solid performance. Wood 6.5 don't remember him doing much? Wiggins 7.5 strong performance until Yeovil slapped a giant on him. Attacked and defended with brains. Cousins 7.5 played well in the middle, did alright out right. Not as assured as I expected. Poyet 8.0 what a find he is. Gave the ball away, battled to win it back, he broke up many attacks. Ajdarevic 7.5 what a goal... Defended well but doesn't have the fitness to play wide left. Jackson 6.5 got an assist but his legs are going rapidly. I hope he goes into coaching one day. Reza 7.5 played well I thought, he won many a foul and got an assist that was so good even Sordell could score. Sordell 6.0 scored but he falls over so easily and can't control the ball well at head or foot height. Extra point for the easiest goal he will ever score.
Obika n/a 5.5 good control and has more pace than Sordell. Harriott n/a 4.5 run, step over, lose the ball. Repeat... Cort n/a 5.5 great to see him back.
P.S I rate between
1, useless disinterested Trollop. Not a pro footballer performance.
5.5, average
10 hat trick (or more) and all over the park. Won tackles and every shot was on target.
Hamer - 5.5: at fault for the second goal but could do nothing about the first and a good save in the first half when we were under the cosh for a period Morrison - 5: hugely committed as ever but he is simply not a full back. He was pulled out of position on occasions and found it hard to use the ball effectively going forward. We missed him in the middle Dervite - 6: very poor header for their second but otherwise reasonably solid and a fine goal Wood - 6: did ok; a no-nonsense performance Wiggins - 7: culpable for the first goal by being 5 or 6 yards behind the rest of the back four but, to his credit, made a brilliant run to set up Reza shortly afterwards and played well thereafter, both defensively and offensively Cousins - 8: a very fine performance. A tremendous engine and plugged various gaps, as well as driving us on when in possession Poyet - 8: oozes class Ajdarevic - 7: a man who can make things happen. If he stays, maybe we can get a good pre-season into him Jackson - 6: a decent performance and some good set plays Reza - 6.5: some moments of quality, although he missed a relatively easy chance and sometimes wants just a bit too much time on the ball Sordell - 5.5: too easily brushed off the ball and lacks movement, although livened up a bit after his goal
Hamer 6 at fault for 2nd but came and punched a lot away. Morrison 6 should have been in the middle Dervite 6 nice goal and solid Wood 5.5 rusty but a few good blocks Wiggins 7 Cousins 8 I thought he has a blinder. Covered a lot of ground and got in their faces Poyet 8.5 superb. Always available, always got time and always aware of surroundings. Brilliant footballer Ajdarevic 8 I love him but needs to sort his fitness. Splendid goal Jackson 6.5 meh Reza 7 best game I've seen him have. Menacing ans waspish Sordell 7 as Reza. There is a player in there
We looked comfortable until their 2nd. 1st half we tried to be too clever and rotate the midfield too much - as a result we lost momentum. Pleased with the result but we just don't do it the easy way
