Henderson 8 - Safe hands from the bread and butter stuff and claimed crosses well in the end. Bit flappy with some of their near-post corners though Wilson 5.5 - up against a very decent ATTACKER and had little support from Callum. Provided a nice assist and proved the best way to nullify Antonio was to beat him at his own game because his (Antonio's) defensive game was awful. Fox 8 - Excellent once again Gomez 8 - A couple of times he had to read the game and cover for Diarra and Fox and did it brilliantly. Second half he pretty much stopped the threat of Antonio. Still don't believe he is 17 - think there is a bit of a Kanu thing going on there. Very wise head on those shoulders. Distribution wasn't as sharp as usual but at least most of them went forwards. Diarra 8 - Massive surprise for me. Was nervous at first but he reads the game very well. Harriott 5 - Nobhead. Comedy injury. Buyens 7 - Solid, made some tackles and covered a lot of ground. I think his "relaxed" running style makes it look like he may not care. Cousins 9 - A machine. Covered every blade of grass and no shortage of skill to go with that engine. I don't suppose we'll find him out on the left again as he has, for me, cemented that position. Bulot 8 - Two lovely goals, a couple of tackles and a general swagger to his play. Complete 180 degree turn for me as I didn't rate him at all at Christmas time. Vetokele 7.5 - Lots of running and harrying but looked a little annoyed last night - wasn't happening for him Watt 8.5 - He's got the lot. Last 5 minutes was comedy gold and the previous 85 minutes was classy. Bikey 8 - Rest appears to have done him the world of good. Imperious once more, excellent blocks, won everything in the air and some decent distribution. Eagles 7.5 - I was impressed again. At first he took a little while to get going but soon perked up and got to the pace of the game. Would be very interested in signing permanently if possible as he can play in a number of positions.
Luzon - 9 Again very bold decision to play Diarra at the back ahead of The Refridgerator but it worked. Realised Wilson was getting roasted (partly Harriot to blame imo) and acted accordingly. Like the cut of his jib and really hope we can keep much of this squad together because it is gelling nicely
Henderson 8 so solid Wilson 5 run ragged but credit for keeping going down right flank Fox 7.5 improving, like to see him be more active and fly down the flank more tho Gomez 7 fortunate to not get booked Diarra 7 solid bar the one mis kick Harriott 5 ineffective, realised too late to help out wilson Buyens 8 snappy in tackle, boundless energy, useful in possession Cousins 9 great job driving us forward, MOTM Bulot 8 constant threat, two good finishes Vetokele 7 forest dealt with him well Watt 7 v quiet game by his standards, but brilliant in last min Bikey 6 stuck to basics Eagles 6 tried to influence game but ineffective
Henderson 7 Wilson 5.5 Antonio was all over him, but got the assist Fox 8 Really solid game Gomez 8 Great second half at right back, Out-muscled Antonio several times Diarra 7 Great considering that's not his normal position Harriott 5 He didn't lose the ball EVERY time Buyens 7.5 Much better than I've seen recently Cousins 9 MOTM, everywhere on the pitch, always wanted the ball, made some great challenges Bulot 8 Two excellent goals and helped out in defence Vetokele 7 Some good link up play but didn't have that much joy Watt 8 Direct running that scared the defence, sometimes tried to do too much, but loved the skills in the corner Bikey 7 Solid Eagles 6.5 Did OK, a little bit anonymous
Henderson 9 mom = Looked so assured last night behind a makeshift back four. Wilson 7 Didn't play well defensively but was a big part of the 2nd goal we scored. Fox 7.5 Up against a very good winger, didn't let anybody down. Gomez 7.5 Similar to Fox, hard to believe he's only 17. Diarra 7.5 Played well in an unfamiliar position. Harriott 6 didn't play well with the ball and didn't help Wilson. Buyens 7.5 Looked like the Buyens from start of season. Cousins 8.5 Didn't put a foot wrong especially the second half, so much energy. Bulot 8.5 Great goals and second half showed his defensive capabilities. Vetokele 7 A lot quieter last night, maybe carrying a knock or two. Watt 8.5 Looks to make things happen every time he receives the ball. Bikey 8 Looked back to form. Eagles 7.5 Looks to make things happen offensively, but not so good defensively.
Henderson 7.5 Excellent game Wilson 7 set up the winner Fox 7 another good game Gomez 7 made a few mistakes in the 2nd half Diarra 7.5 Harriott 5 only time I noticed him was when he fell over the ball LOL Buyens 7.5 very good game Cousins 8.5 outstanding again MOM Bulot 8 very good & 2 very good goals Vetokele 7 Watt 8 excellent Bikey 7.5 very good Eagles 6 very quiet, I think it was a bit too rough for him
Guy must have made an impact . This has surprised me but so far so good . Best performance I have seen this season against a good forest side who are in form.
My personal mood is much better now.
Henderson 8 He really has made a massive difference . Lets hope he can stay fit next season . I was told when we signed him by some happy Hammers fans that he was highly rated at Upton Park but he spent most of his time there injured . Wilson 6 An extra mark for the assist . Fox 8 Getting better , think he might be even more effective as a left footed CB Gomez 8 Did very well to switch positions mid game Diarra 8 Looks very assured . Hope we can sign him next season. Harriott 5 It really is feast or famine with Callum . Last night it was famine Buyens 7 Playing more like he did earlier in the season Cousins 8 Looks a different player through the middle Bulot 9 Outstanding . A real talent .Did his defensive well in the second half Vetokele 7 Plays better with Watt Watt 7 Loved his time wasting . the best I've seen since Garry Nelson and Colin Walsh Bikey 7 Another who looked more like the player we saw early season Eagles 7 Always liked him earlier in his career .Pleased we brought him in. Lepoint Looked a lot better than his last cameo . Certainly has a physical presence.
