Henderson - 10. faultless. Total mastery of angles when faced with attackers not more than 5-10 yards out. made 3-4 worldies and countless times some very good handling on crosses. biggest compliment paid to him by the norwich strikers, who were going for the top corner postage stamp shot by the end of the game, knowing nothing else would beat him.
Gomez - 7 stuck manfully to the task, which was huge. caught out of position badly just before he got subbed off. clearly learning and the mistakes he made in no way reflect badly on his potential as a player.
Bikey - 9 immense. at least 346 crosses headed away by his melon swede. total WALL
Ben Haim -9 same. CB pairing is the best i have ever seen when compared to the general standard of the division we are in
Wiggins - 8 up against a monster baller in Nathan Redmond. skinned many times but kept at it and one great goaline clearance.
Wilson - 9 ran his socks off all game, was part of the few decent bits of play we did put together. some great 1-on-1 defending when he went back to RB
Buyens - 4 gash. technically got the assist but total gash i am afraid. 4 points for being part of a winning team away to the league leaders but he was a passenger
Jackson - 8 couple of marks for the goal, using his brain and realising we might as well have a go as other options were severely limited. no goal i would have had him as a 5 or 6.
Cousins - 5 got to carry some of the can for an unacceptable performance from the midfield unit. ffs play him in the middle as the DM.
Bulot - 6 did put in a lot of running and tried to break forward on occassions. was inches away from a goal around the 60 minute mark.
Vetokele - 6 do feel sorry for him playing on his own with no hope at all of being able to control the aimless punts up to him or having any other option than trying to slalom on his own through the defence.
Subs...
Moussa - fresh legs massively needed and clearly has a bit of skill and technique. not sure about his decision making.
KAG and Fox - nice to see the young lads part of the biggest robbery ive ever seen. got to be good for their confidence and will show them that a bit of effort can make up for a defecit of technique sometimes.
Henderson - 9 Gomez - 8 Wiggins - 8 Bikey - 9.5 Ben Haim - 8 Wilson - 8 Buyens - 6 Jackson - 7 (extra mark for goal) Cousins - 6.5 Bulot - 5 Vetokele - 5 (Absolutely isolated up front on his own. Doesn't hold the ball up well. Needs a strike partner)
Ahearne-Grant n/a (Looked very quick and sharp. Impressive little cameo)
Henderson - 9 - seen the foul for the disallowed goal not given in some games, but positioning always excellent and a very comfortable shot stopper. Very solid and the defence are clearly confident with him behind them.
Gomez - 8 - occasionally looked like the young CB playing RB that he is when out of position, but dealt admirably with Redmond and Hoolahan when targeted. A huge improvement on his performance v Wolves, going to be one hell of a player.
Wiggins - 9.5 - quality game. Great positioning to clear one off the line at the end of the first half and was brilliant throughout as Norwich regularly attacked the channels. A huge improvement on his earlier performances this season and looks to have found his confidence again after nearly scoring on the stroke of HT at Rotherham. No stray passes and a brilliant support to Bulot on the left and Wilson when switched. We've got our Wiggins back!!
Bikey - 9 - faultless in the air and Bob has this team playing with such disciplined shape defensively. Bikey and TBH are the leaders at the back and although Norwich had much of the possession they rarely had clear cut chances. Marked down 0.5 for still showing a tendency to put Wiggins under pressure with ball at feet, but fortunately Wiggins always played the right pass tonight and got out of any looming trouble.
Ben Haim - 9.5 - I've been gutted for Morro during the early parts of this season, but tonight TBH showed exactly why he is ahead in the pecking order. Calm, composed and strong. As with Bikey, clearly showed the immense discipline in shape Bob has instilled at the back.
Wilson - 7.5 - industrious as ever and played well even on the left when switched with Bulot. He really will never let you down and gave Gomez a lot of help in front of him, which was not always the case earlier in the month against Wolves. Was pleasing to see him moving forward positively with the ball even at 0-0 in the 85th.
Buyens - 6 - seems to have gone missing in recent games. Was sloppy in possession, but you couldn't fault his work rate. His positional sense is also hugely undervalued and constantly forced Norwich wide when they had the ball in the middle.
Jackson - 9 - captain fantastic. Best game of the season and not just because of the goal. We played three across the middle and at times it looked as though he was carrying Buyens and Cousins. Definitely better in a midfield three and showed true experience and grit on the pitch tonight. Deserved his goal. What a man.
Cousins - 7 - delighted to see him line up in the middle, but given how we were set up it wasn't really a game for a box to box midfielder. In the last 20 minutes he really came into his own as he is so athletically superior to most others on the pitch. Looking forward to seeing him in central midfield in a game which isn't away at the league leaders!
Bulot - 6.5 - quiet, but looked dangerous on the counter. He looks to still be getting used to the physicality of the league, yet still lively. I feel he is not many games away from showing us what he is really made of....
Vetokele - 6 - isolated and not really in the game, but through no fault of his own as we lined up 4-5-1. We could really do with a quality second striker as a foil for him and let him get back to scoring goals for us. Admirable performance, let's get the boy some support up top.
Moussa - n/a - did well when on the pitch, showing some neat touches. Clearly a very skilful player and plenty more to come from him too I'm sure.
Ahearne-Grant - n/a - really stood out when on albeit briefly. Igor hardly won a ball against Turner and Martin all night. KAG comes on and it was the complete opposite. On the back of this cameo, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see him line up with Igor on Sat if Bob thinks he's ready.
Fox - n/a
What a night! On the train back to London and couldn't care what time I get home after witnessing that!
Henderson - 8 made a couple of great saves when needed.
Gomez - 7 - started well but tired towards the end. Impressive for such a young player.
Wiggins - 7.5 - solid.
Bikey - 9 - immense
Ben Haim 9 - Immense
Wilson - 8 - worked his socks off.
Buyens - 8 - Classy outlet.
Jackson - 8 - 1 point for his misshit goal.
Cousins - 8 - First time I've seen him this season. has grown a couple of inches during the close season. Looks assured - developing into a very good footballer.
Bulot-7.5 - didn't notice him to much but overall contribution to the team was good.
Vetokele.- 7 - struggled with the service provided.
I'm finding it hard to rate the players fairly, since if the game had gone just slightly differently I dare say the marks would be lower. Enough of that though, WE WON!!
Henderson - 8 , thought he had a thoroughly decent game and felt he dealt with everything thrown at him. Gomez - 8, didn't stand out as a relative newcomer which is a credit to him at this point in his career Wiggins - 7, solid enough Bikey - 9, what can be said, the man is a legend. Without his input, we would've been looking at a very different scoreline I think. Ben Haim - 8 Wilson - 6, I thought he made some questionable decisions at times. At one point, he left a Norwich player totally unmarked 10 yards behind him which could've been costly. Buyens - 7 Jackson - 7, not his best game by any stretch but popping up with a goal like that deserves credit! Cousins - 8, very happy with his performance, looked solid on the ball Bulot - 7 Vetokele - 7, considering the kinds of balls that were pumped up to him, and his marker being about two foot taller than him, he still put in a shift
Henderson 8 Gomez 7 Wiggins 7 Bikey 8 Ben haim 8 Wilson 8.5 Buyens 5. 4 of those for the 2nd half! Jackson 7. Extra point for the goal. Cousins 7 Bulot 6 Vetokele 7
Henderson 9 - some top saves again Gomez 8 - inexperience showed a couple of times but will iron that out with more games, a real gem on our hands Wiggins 8 - a tough night with the attacking riches Norwich had to offer but never looked out of his depth Bikey 9.5 MOM - such a presence at the back Ben Haim 8 - a great game again tonight and to think many thought he was past it journeyman when he was signed Wilson 7 - couldn't work out where he was playing, looked like LM to me in the first half Buyens 7 - can't believe some of the low ratings given to him, not his best game but was generally tidy on the ball Jackson 8 - I had ranged his scores from 4 to 6 all season up until tonight, gets an extra mark for the goal, much better in a more attacking midfield role, big influence tonight Cousins 7 - improved but can't help but feel he just needs to get a bit more stuck in at times, more to come from him Bulot 7 - showed some nice touches more to come from him as well Vetokele 7 - fed off scraps again, won tackles and free kicks
Henderson-8.5 strong and calm, can't kick but i guess that's why he's a goalie ! Gomez-7 Decent until the knock, only 17, great experience for him. Wiggins-9 Looking better since rotherham 2nd half, super clearance off line, never panicked. Bikey-9 Cult hero, man and ball shall not pass me. Ben Haim-9 The work load is constant, but never wavers,awesome CB partership. Wilson-8 will play where ever Bob asked him too, right mid, left mid, right back, just in this game ! Buyens-7 because he contributed to the win, lost his edge a bit, but never hides. Jackson-7.5 nearly pulled the trigger mins before, a great captain, loves to prove us wrong. Cousins-7.5 getting there, winning should help his confidence. passing still needs to improve. Bulot-7 feel we will see the best of him when we attack more, at home to Brum ? Vetokele-7.5 hard for him as lone striker, did great run and cross, for half chance for Bulot.
I've calmed down a bit from last night. Best attack in the league met the best defence!
Henderson 8 - Couple of important saves/claims Gomez 8 - Solid at full back, and really composed on the ball. Wiggins 9 - Excellent performance against a couple of tricky wingers, but he was up to the test every time. MOM Bikey 9 - Beast was superb Ben Haim 8 - Great defender. Scares me a bit with his off the ball stuff. Easily could have given a penalty away for a needless shove near the end. Wilson 7.5 - Did well in all 3 positions he played. Good game. Buyens 6.5 - Solid enough. Don't think he deserves any criticism. Jackson 8 - Worked hard, and pops up with the winner. Cousins 8 - Looked at home in the middle of the park, energy was superb. Battled hard. Bulot 6.5 - Nice touches on the ball, and did ok. Vetokele 7 - Chased down many lost causes, and did a good job on his own. Best bit was when he managed to run past Michael Turner despite being in a headlock. When KAG came on, he worked just as hard as a left mid, defending well in his own corner.
Moussa n/a - Did well when he came on. Ahearne-Grant n/a - Really promising, great to see his debut Fox n/a
Henderson -9 Gomez -8 Wiggins -9 Bikey -10 Never thought I would ever give a ten but his performance was peerless and faultless Ben Haim -9 Wilson -7 Buyens -7 Jackson -6 Cousins -6 Bulot -7 Vetokele -8

Cousins 7 Fustrating Bulot 7 Like the look of him but he is still settling in Vetokele 7 Hasn't scord since voted Player of the Month; well marked and as a lone striker not as effective as he can be
Moussa n/a Always seems to add somthing when he comes on Ahearne-Grant n/a This lad is full of confidence. Good move by BP to give him a taster gainst then league leaders Fox n/a
