Comments
Byrne 6.5 good going forward, extremely dodgy defending, must have fouled his man 5 or 6 times
Bauer 7.5 large performance from a large German
Pearce 8 also large and also a goal
DaSilva 8.5 MOM wonderful player
Crofts 6 harried and hustled and showed his usual cloddish touch
Konsa 6.5 did ok but not the player to knit moves together
Forster-Caskey 7 better from him today
Botaka 7.5 a nice and threatening display with plenty of effort
Magennis 8 back (mostly) to the Magennis we grew to know before his injury
Holmes 8 goal, assist and involvement in other goal, only gets an 8 because he made loads of bad decisions and duff crosses. Most things went through him though.
Byrne - 6.5
Bauer - 7
Pearce - 7.5
Da Silva - 7
Cofts - 6

Rudd. 7 held on to it more. One sloppy throw out aside. Good game
Byrne. 8. Very tidy. Carried the ball well
Bauer. 6.5. Ok
Pearce. 7. Ok. Extra 0.5 for goal
DaSilva 8.5. Tenacious little beggar and no little amount of skill
Crofts 6.5. Battled well
Konsa. 5. Not at it today
Forster-Caskey. 6
Botaka 6
Magennis 8 worked just socks off. So glad he scored
Holmes 8. If only his delivery was better??
Ahearne-Grant n/a
Jackson n/a
Byrne ... 7 : Good performance, would like to see us keep him in the Summer, great option to have
Pearce ... 7.5 : Gets a slightly better mark for the goal yet made a mistake straight after which put McDonald through
Bauer ... 7 : Didnt notice him too much but it was his tackle that saved Pearce's mistake (See above)
Dasilva ... 9 (MOTM) : His performances of late raise a lot of Questions in regards to Robinson's Management skills
Crofts ... 7 : Standard performance, went about his business as normal
Konsa ... 6 : Where was he playing, he was all over the place... Robinson explain that one please?
Forster-Caskey ... 6 : Didnt really notice him
Botaka ... 6 : Shows glimpses of talent but he's far too laid back
Magennis ... 8 : Did well today... Deserved his goal
Holmes ... 8 : Took his goal well, got lucky with the Magennis goal as felt he held on to the ball for too long
Byrne 6.5 - solid performance, has great pace but is sometimes so slow, I don't get it?
Bauer 8 - some fantastic tackles
Pearce 7 - decent
DaSilva 9 - excellent
Crofts 8 - solid with some great tackles
Konsa 6 - weak at times
Forster-Caskey 7.5 - much improved today, decent pressing and tackles
Botaka 6 - alright
Magennis 6 - not understanding eveyone else's praise. Very slow to attack after defending corners, Caskey and Holmes attacked much quicker with Magennis often left back with the defensive line, goal handed to him on a plate
Holmes 9 - Fantastic control and pace, gifted Magennis that goal, although sometimes he loses the ball in silly situations

Bauer 8.5 Made a great challenge to save Pearce's bacon
Pearce 8 Good header for the goal, we look far more solid with him in the back four
DaSilva 8.5 Really impressed was a sceptic when I first saw him, with that performance can see why he skippers England U19

Byrne - 6 Played well but you can see he's itching to play back in his normal position.
Bauer - 6 started off by not winning the first ball per usual, but did well in the end.

Byrne - 7.5 good attacking runs.

Forster-Caskey - 7
Botaka - 6
Magennis - 7.5 looked disinterested prior to goal. Ran his heart out afterwards. No sign of carrying an injury

DaSilva 7.5 great little player
Crofts 6.5 still jittery in possession

Byrne - 7: did well
Bauer - 7: the best I've seen him play for a while
Pearce - 7.5: one slip in the first half that could have proved costly but generally very solid. A natural leader
DaSilva - 8.5: MoM - looks a real player
Crofts - 6.5: did a decent job in the holding role, winning the ball back and getting in some important blocks
Konsa - 5: he looked crestfallen today. In mitigation, he's playing out of position and it's been a tough debut season
Forster-Caskey - 6.5: a tidy performance
Botaka - 5.5: a nice assist for Magennis' goal and a good cross to JFK in the second half but, otherwise, contributed little
Magennis - 6.5: better than of late and looked fired up after his goal
Holmes - 7.5: not everything came off but he is almost inevitably at the centre of anything we create
