Rudd 6 - made up for his early error Solly 4.5 - poor by his high standards Konsa 4.5 - not his best position Bauer 3.5 - not a defensive leader IMO Page 4.5 - not an improvemt on Fox Crofts 5 - standard from what I've seen him Forster-Caskey 6 - bit more positive. Looks a prospect Botaka 5.5 - offered little but happy for him to have scored Holmes 6 - okay but often marked out the game Watt 6.5 - still not fully match fit Magennis 6.5 - tried but struggled against Keane Teixeira 4.5 - would be lower but for his goals Mavididi 7.5 - what a run.

Rudd: After initial mistake he did well, pulling off one worldy. 7 Solly: Not enough of an attacking threat. Caught out of position too often. 5.5 Konsa: He was having a bad game before his injury. He's given the ball to take out of defence and had no confidence - kept giving it back to Rudd. 4.5 Bauer: Solid performance, caused them trouble in the box. 6.5 Page: No threat down the wing. Some solid tackles in 2nd half. 5.5 Crofts: Needs to hold position better. We were wide open in midfield particularly last 15mins. 5 Forster-Caskey: Good second half, first half his passing was erratic. 6 Botaka: Pleased he scored when I thought he'd fluffed his chance. He bamboozles himself with some of his step overs though. 7 Holmes: Thought he was outpaced too often by his marker. 6 Watt: He's lost more than a yard of pace. They always had 2 men on him and you could see him frustrated. 5 Magennis: He has a thankless task dealing with utter shit distribution. Works his socks off though. 6.5 Teixeira: MoM - thought he was a real monster in their box. Made up for the odd defensive mistake; he needs to take heading lessons from BFG. 7.5 Mavididi: Awesome run and shot after he came on. Good vision and strength. Needs to be starting. 7
