Henderson 6.5 still not convinced Solly 7.5 back to his best Wiggins 6 lacks sharpness needs to get fitter Bikey 7.5 not going to contest many 50/50s this season. Be a brave man who went for a 40/60 Ben Haim 8 Solid and good on ball Gudmudsson 7 like to see him go down line occasionally Buyens 7.5 liking him more. Good engine. Jackson 5.5 game passed him by. Immediate improvement when subbed Cousins 7 great wing play but Bob put him in middle Vetokele 7 should have taken late chance with left Tucadean 7 good link play, poor in air. No Yann Moussa 6.5 nice touches, not a striker Pope n/a (29 minutes on the pitch) looks the biz Wilson n/a
Henderson. 6.5. Did OK. Not sure he had his angles right for their goal Solly. 7.5. Solid and disciplined. Did what was necessary and some decent crosses. Wiggins.6.5. At fault for their goal but tightened up afterwards Bikey. 7.5. Strong first half but struggled slightly more against more mobile striker 2nd half. Ben Haim. 7.5. Looked to play out from the back. Looked decent enough. Gudmudsson. 7. Great pass for Cousins. Would like to have seen him do a bit more. Buyens. 7. Think he will be a good player for us. Looks for the ball but a little wasteful today. Jackson.7. Kept things ticking along and provided experience and nous. Cousins.7.5. Played well wide left again and a great goal. No nonsense player. Vetokele. 6.5. Worked hard and should have scored. Will scare defenders with pace. Tucudean. 6. Needs to decide if he is a target man or link player. Seemed in two minds a lot of the time as to what to do. Moussa. 6.5.Nice touches. Head down at times but lovely to score a deflected goal.
Henderson 6 - A few instances of poor delivery. Was poor to give the ball away right at the end of the first half Solly 7.5 - A good Solly performance I thought. Got forward when necessary but otherwise was tigerish at the back Wiggins 5.5 - McManaman tore him to pieces in the first half. Wiggins did seem to get his act together though Bikey 7.5 - Total beast. Wins everything in the air Ben Haim 8 - looked seriously composed. Very encouraging performance. Just deals with dangerous walls without any drama Gudmudsson 6 - Bit disappointing for me. He did play some decent balls but was a tad invisible and why did he take a touch when that late chance came? Buyens - 8.5 - Class act. Couldn't put a foot wrong in the first half although slightly vanished second half. Looks a real player Jackson - 5.5 - Seemed to tire and doesn't suit playing him when Wigan hold the ball so well. Still cannot underestimate his ability as a captain though Cousins - 7 - Started very well and a fine strike. Tired towards the end Vetokele -7 probably should have scored but did brilliantly to even put himself in that position Tucdean - 6 A bit weak physically if you ask me but did at least try beating a few men. Moussa - 7 Looked good and his predatory instinct for goals lead to that winner
Henderson 5 - honestly think he bottled it today, I know he was getting a lot of stick from the Wigan end Solly 7.5 Wiggins 5 Bikey 8 Ben Haim 8 Gudmundsson 8 Buyens 9 Jackson 5 Cousins 7.5 Vetokele 6 Tucudean 5 Moussa 7.5
Henderson 6 Solid enough, although (from my view) thought he could have done better for their goal Solly 7 Typical solid performance from Mr Charlton Wiggins 6 At fault for the goal, poor positioning. Improved in the second half Bikey 8 This guy is one hell of a unit, without the sluggishness you'd expect from someone his size. Great composed performance Ben Haim 7 Good game, does what it says on the tin Gudmudsson 7 Tireless work-rate for 90 mins. Not everything came off for him, slightly let down by his shooting. Will get better Buyens 8.5 Absolutely bossed the midfield. Great movement, always looking for the ball and seemed to know what to do with it when he got it (MOM) Jackson 6.5 Quiet game from the skipper, not surprised he was taken off Cousins 7 Great goal, but then tried to replicate it everytime he got the ball in the first half. Drifted in & out of the game, but put in a good shift overall Vetokele 7 I'm sure we're going to see some much better performances from Igor. Looked dangerous on the ball, but didn't see enough of it today Tucdean 6 Still adapting to the pace of championship football. Good hold up play at times. Needs to be a bit stronger when in possession Moussa. 7 Looked up for it when he came on.
Henderson - 5 Solly - 7 Wiggins - 5 Bikey - 7.5 Ben Haim - 8 (extra .5 for the run which led to the winner) Gudmundsson - 6 Buyens - 8 Jackson - 5 Cousins - 7 Vetokele - 6.5 Tucadean - 6
Henderson. 6. Unconvincing Solly . 7 Just Solly Wiggins 5 thought he was bloody awful Bikey. 8. Monster Ben Haim 7 Calm and impressive. Influential in our winner. Gudmudsson. 7.Not your typical winger. Gets a foot in. Buyens 8. Will be our engine. Very impressed Jackson . 6 Hardly involved. Well off the pace today. Cousins 7 fantastic strike. Vetokele 7. Worked hard with little reward. Tucdean 6.5. Needs to adjust to the physical side to our football. Moussa. 7. Scored the winner. What's not to like
Pope n/a (29 minutes on the pitch) 7. Untroubled Wilson n/a
Henderson-7 Solly-8 MOM Wiggins-6 Bikey-8 (BEAST) Ben Haim-7 Gudmudsson-5 (not been impressed so far, came with so much hype, hope its just the settling in period) Buyens-8 Jackson-6 Cousins-8 Vetokele-7 Tucdean-5 (not been impressed so far, came with so much hype, hope its just the settling in period) Moussa-6 (Would also of been 5 but got extra point for goal)
Cheers Colin by the way just in case you had forgotten JJ is the captain so he won't be going anywhere soon I'm afraid :-0 Edit; Sorry Lancs couldn't resist.

Vetokele 7.5 little service but created chances for himself by putting himself about. Tucdean 6 looks ok link up wise but looks as though the pace of the championship is a little to quick for him at the minute. Moussa 7 Good goal hope he starts on Tuesday.
