Pope ... 9 (MOM) : Gets a mark chalked off because he made his usual signature save where the ball bounced off him in the first half... What a save from Fanni's header though Motta ... 7.5 : His weakness is he gets caught out going forward too much, whilst at times he seems reluctant to go forward... Shows at times how lucky we are to have Solly Teixeira ... 8 : Really well taken goal Fanni ... 8 : Worked well with Teixeira, got caught one on one with their player a few times but was really solid Fox ... 8.5 : Adomah must be one of the best consistent wingers in the Division and was in Morgan's pocket all match, our performance was built on his start Gudmundsson ... 8 : Did well despite my concerns about him being back on the wing Diarra ... 7.5 : Was calm in Defence but seems to have lost a yard of pace Cousins ... 9 : Would happily have him Captain over Jackson Suk-Young ... 7.5 : Needs to protect Fox a bit more, the latters issues come from the fact he has to do the Defensive job of a LM and LB this season Harriott ... 8 : Deserved his goal, didnt stop working despite not much coming off for him Lookman ... 7.5 : Not his day, didnt hide, certainly not ready for the Premier League
Reza ... Felt he had a good cameo and put in the effort when he came on
Pope - 8, his save just before half time was a vital moment Motta - 6 Teixeira - 7.5 Fanni - 7 Fox - 6 Berg Gudmundsson - 7 Diarra - 7 Cousins - 8, high work-rate, was worthy of the captain's armband today Suk-Young - 7 Harriott - 8, ran his socks off, constantly lively, our danger Lookman - 6
Pope - 8.5 - clean sheet and dealt with crosses well. A few nice saves that he did well to push aside and not back into dangerous areas.
Motta - 7 - defended ok. Made a few mistakes and nervy moments. But he's a smart defender most the time and plays to his strengths. He kept Boro in front of him and didn't give up anything easy behind.
Teixeira - 7.5 - great desire to notch the first goal. Passing suspect at times.
Fanni - MOTM 9 - didn't notice him first half but wow was he good second half. Good in the air, mopped up Mottas mistakes, composure passing out of back. Real CB quality.
Fox - 8.5 - solid game. Didn't put a single foot wrong. Cleared lots of dangerous situations and was tight on Boro winger to help stop crosses. His yellow might show a good change that he didn't let the man through despite the ball getting passed. No1 rule in defense = man or ball, never both!
Berg Gudmundsson - 7.5 - one of our only players with an individual ability to run at defenders with speed and skill. He pressed very well defensively and encouraged disrupting any Boro possession.
Diarra - 8 - great at breaking up play and quality tackles In midfield. However he has a tendency to give the ball away cheaply and too quickly at times.
Cousins - 8.5 - ran and ran until the very last whistle. Tackled hard and led by example. He was the legs in midfield today.
Suk-Young - 7 - first half was anonymous. Second half he had more energy and was really putting himself about. Got a good footballers brain on him as he's always helping cover dangerous situations.
Harriott - 8 - good touches in tight areas. Always looking to receive a pass. Deserves his goal as he followed his own shot. Nice bits of flair for the cameras too.
Lookman - 7 - a few nice turns on the ball but couldn't generate too much. At times too far apart from harriot. Pressed well defensively.
Reza - n/a - (7) - wanted the ball. Saw some opportunity and willing runner. Helped buildup second goal Bergdich - Lennon -
Pope - 8 dominated the box Motta - 6 good but too relaxed at times Teixeira - 7.5 good game, well taken goal Fanni - 6.5 getting better Fox - 8 one of his best games for us Berg Gudmundsson - 7 worked hard Diarra - 7.5 we are much, much better when he plays Cousins - 8.5 great 2nd half Suk-Young - 7 another hard worker Harriott - 8 once he worked out his role, never gave the borough defence any peace Lookman - 6 anonymous 1st half, came into it more in the 2nd.
Pope - 8 best we've seen him play. Happy for him. Motta - 7 not as good today but has showed he can play. Teixeira - 8 forming a good partnership with fanni. Good goal. Fanni - 7.5 looks steady. Fox - 7.5 his best game since qpr. Berg Gudmundsson - 7 ok but stil not the player of last season. Diarra - 8 what a player, would loved to have seen him in his prime. Cousins - 9 absolutely awsome. Suk-Young - 7 love his pace. Odd wayward pass. Harriott - 7.5 sorry we missed his goal, we were busy elsewhere. Lookman - 7 pace up front. Hallelujah!
Watched on Sky, first time have seen live for a few weeks
Pope - 8.5 - 1 point for Fanny save Motta - 6.5 - Prefer Solly when fit Teixeira - 8 - 1 for the goal Fanni - 7.5 - made some mistakes but looked OK Fox - 8.5 - looked good and confident considering the abuse he gets, even Sky mentioned it Berg Gudmundsson - 8 - put more into his game today, on Sky, coincidence Diarra - 8.5 - always looks commanding Cousins - 9 MOM - says it all, everywhere today Suk-Young - 6.5 - OK, but not over impressed Harriott - 8 - better than I expected reading comments on here Lookman - 7 - tried but not quite there yet
Pope - 8 good game, came for the crosses Motta - 4.5 some good play but seems to lose it a lot Teixeira - 7.5 glad he scored Fanni - 7 seems to be settling in better Fox - 8 he was excellent today. Berg Gudmundsson - 7 Diarra - 7.5 Cousins - 8.5 energy, felt like we had a captain with legs, a rarity (as JJ hasn't the energy and Solly isn't captain material) Suk-Young - 7 some good bits with Fox and some less good bits Harriott - 7.5 never stopped, sad I missed his goal Lookman - 6.5 worked hard, but not a lot came off for him
Pope - 7 - took me 30 minutes of arguments with the lad to agree it was Pope in goal, only ever seen him in yellow kit, couple of dodgy palm outs which Boro should have done better with
Motta - 7 gets his head up, provides the attacking option, quality.
Teixara - 7 extra point for the first goal. Looks a bit agricultural and slow sometimes but worth his place
Fanni - 6 - not yet up to speed but position good and a good footballer
Fox - 6 good game again from Morgan and nearly worth a 7. Looks so better with young in front of him
JBG - 7 - it's not working for him, closed down fast this season and the shots not going in but this guy is quality
Diarra - 8 - man of the match for me before we left on 74 minutes
Cousins - 7 - bless him
Young - 6 / harsh mark maybe here, I thought he was great but a bit shy
Harriot - 7 I've given him plus 1 for a goal we didn't see because we were chanting outside
Lookman - 6 - not played in a good position, livens the team up
Pope - 7 - Looked nervy at times, but fantastic save to stop Fanni scoring an O.G. Motta - 6.5 - Done ok. Teixeira - 7 - Like his attitude, nice goal. Fanni - 7 - I like it that he wants to bring the ball forward. Fox - 7 - Miles better that midweek! Berg Gudmundsson - 7 - Done ok, but we know he's capable of much more...decent corner for a change! Diarra - 7 - Steady influence in the middle. Cousins - 8.5 - Drove us on from the middle. Captain's performance. Suk-Young - 6.5 - In & out of the game. Harriott - 7.5 - Enjoying this free role. Good goal. Lookman - 7.5 - Busy. Proved we don't need a big lump up front to be effective offensively.
Pope - solid performance 7 Motta - kept being dragged out of position making his position vacant 6 Teixeira - did nothing wrong and nice header for the first goal 7 Fanni - good powerful performance and covered absent right back at times 7.5 Fox - had his normal lie down during game but appeared not to panic 6.5 Berg Gudmundsson - not getting into more central positions to shoot 6 Diarra - good game and needs to stay fit 7.5 Cousins - good work rate 8 Suk-Young - settling in well 7 Harriott - plug him in and watch him go - one of our own 7.5 Lookman - tried hard and looked after by being taken off 6.5
Pope 7 getting better by the game Motta 6 100% effort, unfortunately got some things very wrong Teixeira 8 cracking goal Fanni 8.5 scarcely put a foot wrong all game Fox 7 solid if unspectacular Berg Gudmundsson 7 gave the lie to those who say not interested Diarra 5 some bad decision-making Cousins 6 never gave up; some woeful passing Suk-Young 6 is he really a full international? Harriott 6.5 added 1 for the goal I didn't see Lookman 6 harried their defenders, fed off scraps all game
Pope - 8 took the ball well in the air. Motta 6 not so effective today. Teixeira -7.5 extra point for goal. Fanni - 7.5 played well and gave Pope some shot stopping practice. Fox -7.5 seemed to make tackles or blocks all game Berg Gudmundsson -5.5 lost his mojo. Diarra -6.5 has no pace but really cares and we are better with him. Cousins - 8 how many miles did JC run. leads by example. Suk-Young -7 a team player who did ok . Harriott -7.5 haven't seen his goal but the boy worked his socks off. Lookman -6 missed a big striker(sonogo) along side. worked hard.
Pope - 8 Best game that I've seen him play for us. The new number 1! Motta - 6 Ok but would rather have Solly. Teixeira - 8 Great header and best CB since Morrison. Fanni - 7 Did well. Fox - 6 Can't fault Morgan much better than I've seen of late. Keep it up. Berg Gudmundsson - 7 Great corner and some nice touches. Class player. Diarra - 7 Another class player. Some great tackles. Cousins - 8 Tireless captain's game hope he keeps us up. Too good for L1! Suk-Young - 6 Did OK. Harriott - 8 Constant chasing, hope we give him a decent contract. Too good like Cousins for L1.7 Lookman - 7 Linked well at times with Harriott.

-1 For that clown running onto the pitch!
You have to question the blinkered marking of Fox sometimes. If Fox was a 6 then Motta was a 4 along with the Suk-Young fella. People really need to take their blinkers off sometimes!!!
In fairness Jensenwasclass did come back a couple of messages later, saying that he meant to put in an 8 for Fox...
Pope - 7.5, still learning but potential. Motta - 6, not his best game, is it only me, but getting suspicious Solly is missing (along with Henderson & Jackson) Teixeira - 7 Fanni - 7 Fox - 7 Berg Gudmundsson - 7 Diarra - 7 Cousins - 9, best game for a loooooong time. Suk-Young - 6 Harriott - 8 Lookman - 7
Reza - 2 and thats being generous Bergdich - N/A Lennon - n/a
If Harriott & Lookman can learn to run across the line they'd get a lot of goals.

Teixeira ... 8 : Really well taken goal
Fanni ... 8 : Worked well with Teixeira, got caught one on one with their player a few times but was really solid
Fox ... 8.5 : Adomah must be one of the best consistent wingers in the Division and was in Morgan's pocket all match, our performance was built on his start
Gudmundsson ... 8 : Did well despite my concerns about him being back on the wing
Diarra ... 7.5 : Was calm in Defence but seems to have lost a yard of pace
Cousins ... 9 : Would happily have him Captain over Jackson
Suk-Young ... 7.5 : Needs to protect Fox a bit more, the latters issues come from the fact he has to do the Defensive job of a LM and LB this season
Harriott ... 8 : Deserved his goal, didnt stop working despite not much coming off for him
