Phillips: 8 vital saves and had about 30 pass backs in the Game ! Foley:7 doing a decent job at RB. Fox:6 after 3 cracking games was average today. Bauer:7 one paced but defense much better with him in the side. Pearce:7 a battler who gives 100% Lookman:7 extra point for being double and treble marked and still trying to create something. Crofts:6.5 not great but doesn't hide, Ulvestad:6 hassled into mistakes by a good United midfield Jackson:5 Isn't it obvious to everyone that our great captain is struggling ? Magennis:7.5 Josh really cares, gave Ajose a right bollocking. Ajose:6 working harder but can still do more. Chicksen:6.5 great runs but poor execution. should have started after Rovers game. Novak:5.5 no impact.
Botaka:8 A great Cameo but still not sure if this type of player can play 90 minutes in League 1, but could be a super sub with his pace and silky turns.
Phillips: 7.5 Superb second half and completely kept us in it, at fault for the goal and had a '5' first half though Foley: 6.5 Involved and fairly solid Fox: 5.5 Liked that he did make some attacking runs, made some simple mistakes and going to pin some blame on him for the quick free kick being down his side Bauer: 7 Solid and the goal Pearce: 6.5 Generally didn't look too troubled, won the battle with Clarke Lookman: 7 Electric in our better spell in the first half and best first touch in the team... but end product lacking. One bad decision sticks out when he could have easily played someone through (Magennis, I think) but dribbled into trouble instead Crofts: 6.5 Needs a Cousins next to him, muddled through the game - even more backwards/sideways today than usual Ulvestad: 5.5 Thought he was mostly pretty anonymous Jackson: 5 Struggling to see a place for him in the side at the moment, doesn't really offer anything Magennis: 7 All marks for effort and winning headers, really Ajose: 5.5 Wasn't really afforded enough space to affect things Chicksen: 5.5 Went mad for 10mins, might need confidence Novak: 7 His introduction got our forwards linking up
Botaka: 8 His skill and driving runs at Shef Utd almost single-handedly woke up the team and the fans. Love the run where he put one on his arse, and nutmegged someone else
Phillips: 8 kept us in it with a couple of fingertip saves. Foley: 6 Defended well against decent winger. Fox: 5 distribution was awful. Bauer: 7 extra point for the goal. Pearce: 6 dealt well with Clarke but never a foul for their goal. Lookman: 7 Constantly fouled and one of our most creative players. Crofts: 6 gave the ball away a few times with silly passes. Ulvestad: 7 Battled well. Jackson: 5 Got dragged into the middle of the pitch too many times. Magennis: 7 gave Ajose a rollicking. Doesn't stop running. Ajose: 6 Not much service. One decent effort over the bar. Chicksen: 6 great cross for equaliser. Novak: 6 Some nice first touches.
Botaka: 7 Lots of pace and trickery and won the free kick that lead to equaliser.
Phillips: 7 One very good save and looked to be positive throughout. One poor kick where he was lucky. Foley: 6 Did OK defensivley but distribution very average Fox: 5 One swallow doesn't make a spring - back to his normal poor display Bauer: 8 Immense in defence and scored again Pearce: 7 Not a bad game but lucky not to have given a penalty away when Sharp ran at him Lookman: 6 Double marked and no help much of the time Crofts: 4.5 Negative again and often out of position; he seems to play a pressing game when others do not! Ulvestad: 5 Not very good Jackson: 4 Slow beyond belief Magennis: 7 Hustled and bustled and extremely annoyed with Ajose most of the game Ajose: 5 Very average Chicksen: 6.5 Showed the difference is pace between him and Jackson, and stupid that he did not start Novak: 6 Did OK
Botaka: 6 Tried to get space
Ref - 7 Started well, but a few strange decisions late on; you did know he was in charge throughout though.
Nugent - 8 The right substitutions at the right times. Well done Kevin!
Phillips: 8 A couple of excellent saves and one terrible kick he got away with. Well done. MOM Foley: 6 Ok. Fox: 6 Ok. Bauer: 7 Very strong, but some inexplicable backward passes, but he scored the equaliser. Pearce: 6.5 Strong performance. Lookman: 5.5 Lost the ball all the time, he shouldn't be trying to beat men in his own half. Put us in danger too often. Crofts: 6 Ok. Ulvestad: 6 Ok. Jackson: 4.5 Anonymous, as he is for the majority of his performances. He really shouldn't be starting. Magennis: 6.5 Decent. Ajose: 6 Ok. Chicksen: 6 Got far far more involved when he replaced Jackson. Some bad, some good. But hey he can run. Novak: 5
Botaka: 8 Absolute magic. Ran rings around them, saved us a point & nearly won it. Exactly the same as at Fleetwood.
Phillips: 8. Some good saves to keep us in it. Foley: 6. Average. Fox: 5. Don't rate him at all. Positioning is bad, passing is poor and he's slow. Bauer: 8. Good again. Odd wayward pass but overall class. Pearce: 7. Lookman: 5.5. Did nothing. Was on the end of some dubious challenges. Crofts: 5. Completely outplayed. Ulvestad: 5. Same as crofts, eve less visible. Jackson: 2. He's no good any more. Quite embarrassing really when up against such a mobile midfield. Magennis: 7.5. Good work rate. Shame ajose doesn't help him out. Ajose: 4. When magennis wins a header he's standing still. Gamble you lazy twat!! Chicken: 7. Not everything comes off but livened up the midfield with his pace. Novak: 6. Ok. Not much time.
Botaka: 8. Can't believe he doesn't get a chance. Might well be bang average over 90 mins but give him a go.
Phillips: 8 - clearance aside he kept us in the game Foley: 7 - thought he's deputised very well for Solly so far Fox: 6 - often left exposed 2 vs 1 Bauer: 8 - solid and extra mark for the goal Pearce: 7 - didn't really notice much of him apart from the 2nd half with his tough style of play Lookman: 6 - had no protection from the ref, not a Premier League player yet. Lost the ball a few times but had no options at times either Crofts: 6 - nothing special, hopefully he'll only be providing cover from January Ulvestad: 5 - didn't really notice him either but not a good thing for a CM Jackson: 3 - it was like playing with ten men Magennis: 7 - might as well have been playing as a lone striker until Novak came on Ajose: 4 - didn't read the game and didn't provide any help for Magennis Chicksen: 7 - brought some much needed pace into the midfield Novak: 6 - offered more than Ajose
Botaka: 8 - love how he runs at players and draws fouls winning free kicks such as the one we scored from. Just don't understand why he's not starting games.
Phillips: 6, good saves, but kicks badly and does not when to come for the ball. Foley: 6 Fox: 6 Bauer: 7 1pt extra for the goal Pearce: 6 our defence struggled badly, were in a panic any time they tried to play the ball out of defence. Lookman: 5 Crofts: 5 Ulvestad: 6 Jackson: 5 the midfield need to learn how to tackle and stop atacks, going forward they where ok. Magennis: 7.5 he worked his socks off. Ajose: 6 Chicksen: 6 Novak: 6
