Ajose: 6.5 should have scored the 1 on 1, hit the post instead, should have got header on target, but missed it completely, game passed him by at times but he tried more than before.
Botaka: n/a few chances to actually do anything, when he finally got the ball in the corner he held it well Novak: n/a very well taken goal, he actually looked up for it and harassed their back line alongside Magennis

Rudd: 7 one slip near the end but did well, saved from Evans Solly: 7.5 one of his better games this season Fox: 7 ditto Bauer: 9 MOM enormous game from Bauer today Pearce: 7.5 did quite well Holmes: 8 Our best attacking threat by a mile Ulvestad: 5.5 His worst game yet, just didn't come off for him today and I'm usually the one defending him Crofts: 6.5 I actually thought, after a woeful, woeful first half, that he upped it in the second half Lookman: 5 had a shocker tbh, spiced with the occasional slick move. never corners again. Magennis: 7 good stuff really, put Ajose through, scared the bejesus out of their defence, could have had a couple himself Ajose: 4.5 what the hell's happened to that 24-goal striker from last season, that header was sub-Spongefoot
Botaka - please start him. please. he's great Novak - turns out he does have a purpose, and the quality crossing didn't all go in vain. but don't expect him to be able to kick the ball in the right direction
Rudd: 6.5 distribution good Solly: 7 good width and link up, sometimes dived in and got caught out Fox: 6.5 could improve crossing and link up, but a useful outlet Bauer: 6.5 dominated Evans, but a couple mistakes could have been punished by a sharper striker Pearce: 6.5 distribution in second half good Holmes: 8 , 1 man mission to provide crosses, great assist Ulvestad: 7 first half looked sharp, went missing in second Crofts: 6 average, one decent cross Lookman: 6 good sparks but gave ball away at bad times and went missing on the right Magennis: 6.5 tried his best but good saves against him and link up was tough Ajose: 5 he will come good I'm sure, but still waiting. Novak deserves that striker role.
Rudd: 6.5 Solly: 7 Fox: 6 Lookman letting him down again Bauer: 7 Pearce: 6.5 Holmes: 8.5 great display. Never gives up. MOM Ulvestad: 7.5 Crofts: 6.5 Lookman: 5 good with the ball, crap without it. Sulks all the time. Magennis: 6.5 Ajose: 6 on another day....
Rudd: 6 - nothing to do Solly: 6 - solid but conservative going forward Fox: 6 - allows Holmes not to worry about defending Bauer: 7 - didn't give Evans a touch Pearce: 7 - did nothing wrong Holmes: 8 - outstanding with the ball; a classic winger Ulvestad: 6 - some lazy passes but always involved Crofts: 7 - no flair but drove us forward Lookman: 7 - always dangerous but awful body language may prevent him fulfilling potential Magennis: 7 - should be playing at Championship level Ajose: 5 - not sure what he adds
Botaka: 7 - ideal from subs bench Novak: 8 - no athlete but brilliant finish
Rudd 6.5 nothing too much to worry about,kept switched on in the injury time scramble! Solly 6.5 nothing spectacular but on the whole reliable Fox 6.5 not bad,and was good to see him getting up for headers and not shirking out of it.Better. Bauer 7 pretty solid Pearce 7.5 thought he worked very hard today,gutsy performance. Holmes 8 MOM made a few mistakes but he absolutely bust a gut to get that assist to Novak Ulvestad 7 Good first half,a bit leggy in the second but ok. Crofts 7 reverse of Ulvestad Lookman 5 not as sharp as he can be,poor corners,needs to mature in his attitude and be more hungry. Magennis7.5 Love this player,plays for the shirt. Ajose 6 think he needs to step up his game and anticipate/read passes better.
Botaka 6.5 ok Novak 7.5 Good header and seemed to work harder today when he came on.
Slade 5 i really dont know what to make of him tbh
Rudd: 6 Solly: 7 Fox: 6. Free defensive headers, looks around for red shirts, finds the opposition Bauer: 8 Pearce: 8 Holmes: 8 Ulvestad: 6 Crofts: 6.5 Lookman: 3. Must have an agent now who is promising the earth Magennis: 7 Ajose: 5
I am not marking, I see no point in Fox. Every time the ball to him he stops, hesitates and creates nothing. From his debut I have always said he is like the rabbit in the headlights. He seems to fear the ball going to him as he does not know what to do with it. He is not the first to be on his arse with Ched Evans disappearing into the distance.
Rudd: 7. Safe as always. Solly: 6. Ok. Up against a good player in Gardener. Fox: 5. Not good enough. Bauer: 7. Solid as always. Pearce: 7. As good as Bauer this week. Holmes: 9. Always a threat. Full of energy till the end. Set up the goal.How his name is not sung more is a mystery. Ulvestad: 7.5. Getting better with each game. Crofts: 7. Don't normally score him high but played well. Seemed up for it, also seemed quicker today. Lookman: 4. Shocking! Terrible corners and then sulked all game. Should have come off earlier. Magennis: 7.5. Him and Holmes are our favs. Ajose: 6. Could of had 2. Unlucky to hit post but header was a sitter.
Botaka: 7.5. A couple of lovely bits of skill. Has got to start. Novak: 7. Good finish. More please.
Rudd: 6 - nothing to do. Doesn't particularly inspire confidence.
Solly: 6- better second half. Looked like he cared.
Fox: 5 - usual mix of incompetence and effort. Better crossing than normal
Bauer: 6. Solid but up against nothing.
Pearce: 6 - ditto
Holmes: 5 - I thought he was rubbish. All runs down blind alleys and zero end product. Until the goal which was a brilliant piece of work and early cross.
Ulvestadt: 4 - ponderous
Crofts: 3 - even more ponderous
Lookman: 3 - disinterested, petulant. Princess Grace (can't take corners)
Magennis 7.5. MOM. Just kept coming back for more.
Ajose: 2. Complete and utter dud. Up there in the annals of the worst performances I've ever seen (see Makienok v Ipswich and any of McClown's). Utterly and totally without point or purpose.
Botaka: 7. He's got to start soon surely Novak: 6. Great header. Shocking shot soon after. Looks out of shape.
We won. But this was not quality football. Chesterfield were utter pants. I hate this league. Not my club any more. I'm out for a while.
Rudd: 7 not much to do Solly: 7 solid Fox: 7 same Bauer: 7.5 Evans didn't get a sniff Pearce: 7.5 same Holmes: 7.5 grew into it 2nd half Ulvestad: 8 mom wanted the ball and prob saw more of it than anybody else Crofts: 7.5 best game from him Lookman: 7 didn't quite come off today Magennis: 7 worked his socks off Ajose: 7 nearly scored and worked hard
Rudd: 6 didn't have much to do. Probably down to the defending and their willingness to sit back. Solly: 6.5 solid enough Fox: 6 done better when he got that knock to his head! Bauer: 8.5 joint MOM very solid. Had Evans in his pocket and worked well organising the defence. Pearce: 8.5 joint MOM very solid. There was one tackle which if he didn't make would've seen Evans through on goal. Holmes: 8 someone criticised his forward runs above. He was the only player to carry the ball forward at times! They were scared of him. Ulvestad: 6 not his day but things just didn't come off for him. Crofts: 6 solid and unspectacular I the middle. Lookman: 4 lacked effort and lacks confidence. -1 for them two first half corners that went straight out for a goal kick. Magennis: 7 held the ball up well and could've scored if it wasn't for a great save. Always a threat. Ajose: 6.5 hit the post and should've scored the header - that's granted. A player who needs to stay in the side. Needs more movement.
Botaka: n/a needed him a little earlier IMO. Was never working for Lookman. Novak: n/a glad he scored. Hope he didn't cup his ear to the fans as the criticism he has received is justified. Winning goal.
We weren't patient, we were unimaginative - however I've seen us play a lot better this season and only get a point.
Rudd - 7 I like him. Iffy distribution but excellent shot stopper and communicator, not that it was needed today. Solly - 7 Solid Bauer - 7.5 Didn't let Evans have anything. Pearce - 7.5 See Bauer Fox - 6.5 Said it before, Lookman offers very little protection to him. Looked better when he and Holmes switched flanks and Holmes was willing to track back. Lookman - 4 Looks disinterested, doesn't work defensively and put two corners straight out, which is unforgivable. Reminiscent of Francis' two foul throws quite a few years ago. Crofts - 6.5 Not bad, not good, he's just there. Ulvestad - 6.5 Didn't quite happen for him today. Holmes - 8 MOM Our only player who really runs at the opposition, excellent cross for the goal and he tries. Magennis - 7.5 Never stops running, unlucky a few times. Ajose - 6 Showed why he scored so many last season by getting into some excellent positions but failed to convert twice. Deserves another chance.
Novak - 7 Scored, harried the oppo. Good sub Botaka - 7 Ran at them, scared them. Must start soon.
Rudd: 7 didn't have much to do, Solly:6.5 had steady game. Fox:6.5 better when in partnership with Holmes, decent today. Bauer:7.5 strong performance Pearce:7.5 getting a strong partnership with Patrick at this level. Holmes:8 Mr tenacity, who over came a sticky spell to put over a great cross for the winner. Ulvestad:6.5 Poor 2nd half, but settling into the team. Crofts:6.5 worked hard today but is just too 1 paced. Lookman:6 Languid style, but at just 19 the crowd should encourage. Magennis:7 Josh is a workhouse who always gives 100% like Rcky. Ajose:5.5 he needed that goal from open play. we must persist with him for a while longer. Needs to get fitter.
Botaka: n/a decent cameo Novak: n/a the only way to answer your critics is to put the ball in the back of the Net. which he did today. should of had 2 Thou !
