Rudd: 6 not a lot to do, wasn't at fault for their goal. Solly: 7.5 composed and calming in both positions, do like him in central midfield. Fox: 6 solid defensively, very weak going forward, learn to cross lad! Konsa: 6.5 steady and filled in well at RB Pearce: 6 he struggled a little with the physical presence of madine. Foley: 5 weak link for me, doesn't offer much Croft: 7 moved the ball nicely, he will do well for us. Jackson n/a Holmes: 8.5 this bloke is mustard, ran the game. Looked like he had a free role first half and Bolton couldn't handle him, quieter second half as he had to stay out wide. Magennis: 6 not his day today but still battled. Ajose: 5 poor today, didn't work hard enough and his touch was poor. Should have scored the 1 on 1. Bauer: 7 big fucking German Lookman: 8 lovely to watch this kid, great feet and movement, quality finish. Has to start the next game. Hanlan n/a looked sharp when he came on, maybe worth starting against Southampton to see what he can offer.
Overall thought we played well and deserved more than a draw. Also how on earth Bolton came out of that game with only one yellow card? Dirty dirty feckers. Ref was a total mug.
Rudd: 6 didn't have to do much, not at fault for goal, couple of poor passes out Solly: 6 steady performance with a large portion of the game in central midfield. No fireworks, one silly foul in front of the away dugout he could have been carded for, had a shot, not successful Fox: 6 another good game for fox, came forward, cross delivery not amazing but pretty good Konsa: 7 well composed performance looks like a good footballer, impressed with him Pearce: 6 didn't notice him much which is probably a good thing Foley: 4 not good, slow, gave the ball away. Poor Croft: 6 nothing showy, seems ok. Jackson n/a Holmes: 7 ran Bolton ragged in first half, got clipped more than once by a dirty defence that the ref should have protected him against more. Can see this happening every game. I deducted a point for the number of times his corners and free kicks were wasteful. Magennis: 6 useful knockdowns with good direction, unlucky not to be put in by Ajose in first half. Seemed tired when subbed but he tried hard, just didn't come off Ajose: 6 not a lot of service and not a great game, should have squared for mcguinness rather than hoof the ball into the side netting from a tight angle in the first half Bauer: 5 gave the ball away too much, looked a bit rusty Lookman: 7 extra point for the goal, otherwise a bit frustrating. Hanlan n/a
Rudd: 6 came out too early for the goal Solly: 6.5 could weirdly be the player we need in central midfield Fox: 6.5 got forwards a lot Konsa: 7 looks more and more like the next Gomez every game Pearce: 6 very left footed and needs to be more physical Foley: 5.5 meh Crofts: 6.5 getting forward more but is still too ponderous at times Jackson n/a leg did actually go, shame as without these injuries he'd boss this league at walking pace Holmes: 7 tries a lot and makes defenders shit themselves or hack him down. Shit corners this week though Magennis: 7 manhandles everyone, wins everything Ajose: 5.5 lazy off the ball and doesn't pressure anyone. Needs to read Magennis' headers more Bauer: 6.5 thunderous challenges and headers, too ambitious at times Lookman: 7.5 great run and shot for the goal, dropped very deep to pick up the ball though, gave him a lot to do Hanlan n/a nearly won it with a great header, decent cameo
Rudd: 6 not much to do. Bolton created very little Solly: 6.5 consistent as always & useful in mindfield Fox: 6 Konsa: 6.5 at fault for the goal but a good showing overall Pearce: 7 showed his experience and led the back line well Foley: 6 this yrs scapegoat but I thought he put in a good stint this match. Croft: 6 Jackson n/a Holmes: 8 faded in the 2nd half but absolutely ran the 1st half in his central role at the top of the diamond Magennis: 6 Ajose: 4.5 should lose his place to Lookman if he doesnt start offering more. If he is not getting the ball then he needs to adapt his game and run the channels or come deep to get it. He cant just do sweet FA for 90 mins. Bauer: 5.5 charged round like a bull giving away free kicks. Distribution also could have been better. Will need to do more to get in the team if Tex stays. Lookman 7 great goal. Should start every game as we need more than just Holmes who can make something happen. Hanlan n/a
Rudd: 6 didn't have much to do. Solly: 7 played decent in both positions. Fox: 6.5 had to play as a wing back at times because of the lack of width. Konsa:6.5 has he ever played RB for Academy ? did OK in both position Pearce:7 Battles away Foley: 6 hard to notice what he does ? Croft:6 i can see he's trying Jackson n/a Holmes:7.5 loses half a point for 3 poor corners. good signing. Magennis: 6.5 tough today but very honest player. Ajose:5.5 will run riot against weaker teams. Bolton too strong for him today. Bauer:6 Patrick was rusty on the Ball but understandable. Lookman:7.5 imagine Lookman and Holmes together in a home match for 90 minutes ? i guess it's not allowed. Hanlan n/a
Rudd: 6 Solly: 8 Fox: 7 improving Konsa 6.5 suckered for the goal, probably a foul. Pearce: 6.5 Foley: 6 Croft: 6.5 Jackson n/a Holmes: 7 gutsy and skilful. Magennis - 6 Ajose- 5 Bauer: 6.5 Great to have him back. So solid. Lookman - 7.6 Wonderful touch. Changes games even if we don't win.
Rudd 7 Solly 7 not a midfielder. Should have bought Lookman on for JJ. Fox 7 Konsa 6 Pearce 7 Foley 6 Croft 7 Holmes 7.5 Magennis 6 Thought Hanlan did well up front in the few mins he had Ajose 5 Bauer 7 Lookman 8
Rudd: 6 - Little to do except pick the ball out of the back of the net. Brave when he had to be in the Bolton "Land of the Giants"... Solly: 6.5 - I have always been critical of Chris in midfield before, but gave us a much needed steel yesterday. Reliable as ever. Fox: 7 - Probably the best of the back four. Bolton got nowhere down his flank the whole game. Particularly good in the 2nd half, with no cover. Konsa: 7 - Maybe a little generous, but I have to think twice when I realise how young he is. Comfortable out of position at full back. So calm, nothing seems to faze him. A long, successful career is there for the taking. Pearce: 6.5 - I don't hold with the beliefs that he is dirty. If you watch him, he gets tight behind his man, and just refuses to budge. Won't be bullied. Unlucky with a towering header that just drifted wide. Foley: 5.5 - Fans have moaned about playing Solly and Konsa out of position. What about Foley? How many times in his career do you think he's played on the left side of midfield? Because that's what he did after Jacko went off. Sterling job supporting Fox. Croft: 6.5 Bit of a Curate's Egg. Reliable and available, and a number of crunching tackles. Plays backwards a lot, but without eyes in the back of his head, maybe down to others to tell him he has time and space to turn? Jackson n/a Holmes: 7.5 MOTM Our real creative spark. A number of very cynical fouls to stop him in full flow. Problems really began when Lookman came on, and Ajose dropped deeper, meaning 3 players filling the same space. RS needs to get the rest of the players out of his way, so he can dictate the game... Magennis: 7 Not as prominent as in previous games, but still won more headers than he should have against the 2 man mountain centre backs he was up against. Gets through an astonishing amount of bruising work. Ajose: 6 Not his best game, but had our best chance of the 1st half. Instead of slagging him off, how about giving the keeper some credit? Got in Homes' way in the second half, by filling in any space Ricky had to run into. Bauer: 5.5 Looked very rusty. Strong as an ox, but distribution woeful. Lookman: 6.5 An extra point for a very well taken goal. We needed him on the right, as there was no outlet out there, with Konsa often isolated, making the right wing a non existent attacking option. Potentially, a truly great player, but at the moment, needs to learn some discipline. Hanlan n/a

If you score 1-10, the average is 5.5. So if sterling equates to average then it , makes sense.
