Rudd: 7. Clean sheet looks good. Solly: 7. Solid. Fox: 6. Average. Konsa: 7.5 better than Saturday, showed strength and completely dealt Toney. Pearce: 7. Forming good defensive partnership with konsa. Foley: 6. I still would like to see someone quicker in midfield. Worry if we play against a quick team we could become unstuck. Crofts: 8. Best of the midfield 3. Jackson: 7. Same as foley but can't argue against his inclusion if he keeps scoring. Holmes: 9. A joy to watch. He was everywhere. Goal was a beauty! Magennis: 8.5. His energy and work rate will win fans. Chases down defenders, shows and holds up ball well. Showed his pace and power with his one on one, which but for a good save would have been a top quality goal. Needs a song. Ajose: 7. Unlucky as keeper stopped 2 of his chances. Bad miss near the end. He's getting the chances which is good and sure he will turn it around.
Rudd 7 - Not too much to do but looks very assured Solly 7 Usual dependable showing Fox 6 Konsa 7.5 Starting to look good. Pearce 6.5 Foley 6 Crofts 7.5 Looked good yesterday. Jackson 7 Good to see him contributing goals Holmes 9 Superb first goal , looks a real threat. Magennis 8 Excellent hold up play, impressive overall performance. Ajose 5 Needs to show more, hopefully the goals will come.
Rudd: 7 Solid some good stops Solly: 7 Comfortable Fox: 6 Went strangle AWOL second half after solid first Konsa: 7 looking good prospect Pearce: 7 Solid Foley: 6 Bit off and on, some good some not so. What a did like was after one particularly poor pass he chased back and got the ball back. Crofts: 7 Solid Jackson: 7 Dis what JJ does, drifts through games, but always there when you need him Holmes: 8 MOTM Magennis: 7.5 Looked a strong physical presence up front. I could see potential in his partnership with NA. Didn't quite happen for him last night Ajose:7 Again, did quite come off for him, but on another day could have scored a couple of times
Rudd: 7 Makes life easier when you have a quality keeper. Solly: 7 steady Eddie. Fox: 6 Some long ball punts but was ok. Konsa: 8 Joe Gomez MK2. Pearce: 7 solid. Foley: 6 solid Crofts: 7 solid Jackson: 7 captain fantastic. Holmes: 9 Was everywhere from blocking shots to scoring worldys. Magennis: 7 handful. Ajose: 6 He will do alright.
Rudd: 7 not much to do but one or two very good saves Solly: 7 did well, his longer passing wasn't the best last night Fox: 6.5 defended well, you can see Holmes-Dennis is the much more attacking, comfortable full back. Still a decent player Konsa: 7 very assured for a young, talented centre half Pearce: 7 comfortable with both feet, is a leader at the back Foley: 6.5 gave the ball away one or two times, but work very hard, was all across midfield Crofts: 7.5 comfortable and encouraging performance, can pass and tackle well Jackson: 7.5 scored again and looked much better in the centre of midfield Holmes: 9 two cracking goals, one he didn't mean, and plenty of excitement. Great dribbler, will do extremely well for us this season Magennis: 7.5 battled well, put in a shift and very quick, unlucky not to score Ajose: 6.5 very unfortunate things aren't exactly falling for him, can see his frustration. Will get plenty this season, just needs the one to get going
Lookman: 7 classy cameo again, gets you on the edge of your seat, hope we keep him Novak: n/a Botaka: n/a
Rudd: 7 Again not much to do but a couple of smart stops and generally competent otherwise.
Solly: 7 Consistent as ever and seemed to be talking Konsa through the game too at times.
Fox: 6.5 Couple of shaky moments in the second half cost him half a mark.
Konsa: 7 Didn't allow himself to be intimidated and had a generally solid match.
Pearce: 6 Par performance. Nothing particularly good or bad.
Foley: 6.5 The odd mistake but some good stuff too and allowed JJ to play mainly inside which was a plus.
Crofts: 8 Did a lot of unheralded work where needed both defensively and going forward. Hope he can sustain the level of performance.
Jackson: 7.5 More time in the middle and improved accordingly. Once again took his goal well.
Holmes: 9 An'edge of the seat' player on this form. On occasions in a bad light when he surged down the left leaving defenders in his wake I could almost imagine a reincarnation of my childhood hero the real Len.
Magennis: 8 Gave the defenders plenty to think about and put in a real shift. Hopefully he'll add the odd goal to his repertoire as well soon.
Ajose: 6 He's missing chances but importantly he is getting into the positions to miss those chances. Once he gets one he will get a few.
Lookman: n/a Good cameo hope we can keep him. Novak: n/a Botaka: n/a
Rudd: 7 little to do, hard to assess Solly: 6 troubled by Brown first half Fox: 5 troubled by any attacker in his area, plenty of effort Konsa: 6 a few mistakes contrasting with plenty to admire, rather too keen to play when he needs to get rid Pearce: 6 didn't notice him really - which is no bad thing Foley: 5 horse for a course, slow and passing is ropey, usefully helped out Solly which was what he was there for Crofts: 6 mixed bag of effort, usefulness and ropey passing Jackson: 6 a slow moving version of the JJ we love, good to see his poacher's knack has not waned Holmes: 8 lots of effort, good runs, an excellent finish, hope he stays fit Magennis: 8 wins just about all the aerial stuff, runs for ever and has really decent touch, currently the fulcrum Ajose: 6 missed a sitter, tried his nuts off - which might be the problem, needs to relax and it will come for him
