Henderson 6.5 - Very solid again, and no chance with either goal Gomez 7.5 - He is so good; composed, quick, decent in the air, and went forward whenever he could Fox 7 - Very solid too, but did ball watch a few times late in the game Johnson 6.5 - Lead well, but got caught out once or twice Diarra 7 - Strolled through without too much trouble Gudmundsson 6.5 - Very positive but struggled with only one forward ahead of him in first half Cousins 7 - All over the place, but so were some of his passes Buyens 7.5 (MoM) - Great penalty, and nice finish for his first open play goal; is so much better when he has a forward (or TWO!) to pass to as in 2nd half Bulot 6 - Always keen but didn't get any space to make a difference Eagles 5.5 - Also keen but missed his great chance Watt 6 - Very lackadaisical all game until his great run for the third goal and subsequent dust up
Overall, first half was very subdued, and akin to BP's reign of one up front. Second half much more positive.
Even though he is n/a I want to give Church a little mention because I think he really helped us when he came on and his work rate was fantastic, pleased for him.
Henderson 7 Usual solid game. No fault for either goal
Gomez 8 Another great performance from the kid
Fox 7 Dodgy start, with Reading pressing down his side, but grew in confidence
Johnson 6 Done okay, with the odd shakey moment
Diarra 7 Solid
Gudmundsson 7 Another decent game
Cousins 8.5 Absolutely bossed the middle of the park (MOM)
Buyens 7.5 Another good pen, plus a rare goal in open play
Bulot 7 Good link up play
Eagles 6 Done okay, but nothing special. Really should have buried that header
Watt 7.5 Didn't quite come off for him today, but was a constant pain in their arse
I genuinely love the varying opinions on here. The fact that we all see the game slightly different is one of the things that make football so great............
Henderson - 7 - Couple of good catches from crosses Gomez - 7.5 Fox - 7 - Much better than I've seen before, think he's developed into a great player Johnson - 5.5 - Weak link in the defense Diarra - 7 Gudmundsson - 6.5 - Quiet, good move for Eagles' chance though Cousins - 8 - MOTM Buyens - 8 Bulot - 8 Eagles - 5 - Looks talented, but poor game today Watt - 7 - Don't think being up front on his own suits him, better when Church joined him
Please no jackson look how much better we are without him , Diarra has to come in
Sure Colin will get pelters for this but I do agree. Fully expect Diarra to start with Jacko on the bench at best. He isn't match fit when he has been playing never mind when he hasn't played for a couple of months.
Henderson 8 Gomez 9 - Rolls Royce of a young player. Fox 7 Johnson 7 Diarra 7 Gudmundsson 8 Cousins 8 Buyens 8 Bulot 9 - A constant menace, gave the Reading right back (Gunter) a torrid afternoon. Eagles 7 Watt 9 - Excellent Second Half - loved the way he sized-up the Reading Defender, before going past him along the bye-line to put it on a plate for Church to score the third.
Some tosspot sitting behind me exclaimed in disgust "he'll get a fucking hattrick now" as he burst through before pulling it across the box with about 15 minutes to go.
He moaned and groaned at every pass, every tackle, every time a player ran within 10 yards of Buyens and wasn't dispossessed by him.
Just thought I'd mention it as it reminds me of certain people on here
I'm sure if he was on a permanent deal or his name was Tony Simons we wouldn't have this problem
Henderson -7.5 Mr reliable Gomez-8 great runs 2nd half. glide over ground. Fox-7.5 two good halves, best attacking game, great cross for tony near miss. Johnson-7 looked a bit shaky at times but good competitor. Diarra-7 calm player, and good header of the ball. Gudmundsson-7.5 enjoys playing in an attacking team. Cousins-8.5 was everywhere, will always make some wayward passes but great engine. Buyens-8.5 the penalty king (7 from 7) some great passes and some poor passes. Bulot-8.5 class on the ball, didn't waste a pass, most improved player in last 6 weeks. Eagles-6 not his day, shown by the missed header, needs to impress at home. Watt-8.5 he livens up the valley. a top showman. great work for 3rd goal.
Henderson 7 Gomez 7.5 excellent, esp with change of position at last minute Fox 7.5 some of his tackles were Solly-esque, which is high praise Johnson 6 lost concentration esp in 1st half. Got better. Diarra 7 Gudmundsson 7 Cousins 8 worked hard all match, vital player for us Buyens 8 good game for Yoni, even a goal from open play Bulot 7 worked hard Eagles 5.5 not a striker, Church should have started. Watt 8.5 thought he wasn't having a particularly good game by his standards. The difference between a comfortable win and a draw or defeat. He was determined that Church would score. This is one special player.

Gomez 8 Enjoy him while you can
Fox 7.5 Steadily improving. Loved the 'Les Berry' over the East Stand
Johnson 6 No doubting his courage and influence but shaky if exposed to a one on one
Diarra 7 Experience shone through in an unfamiliar role
Gudmundsson 7 8 for the second half 6 for the first
Cousins 8.5 Perpetual motion and commitment and no little finesse in the second half
Buyens 7 An enigma. Clinical penalty.
Bulot 9 My man of the match narrowly from Cousins. A constant threat
Eagles 6 Shame he missed his chance but other than that and his corners I hardly noticed him.
Watt 7.5 Quiet first half by the standards he has set himself but grew into it
