Amos - 6.5 : Nothing that worried me, but equally nothing to do Solly - 7.5 : Usual performance Konsa - 7.5 : Prefer him at CB , big season for him I think Bauer - 7.5 : Dasilva - 8 : Such a good footballer, immaculate touch and links beautifully with Holmes Kasha - 8.5 : Stay fit and its top 6 minimum Fosu- 8: Gets his decision making right he's a top player, Callum Harriott with more skill Forster-Caskey- 7.5: Compliments Kashi very well Magennis - 8: 15-20 more like that this season and were in a great position Clarke - 7.5: Not the most involved but what he did do was exceptional.

Amos- 7 little to do but distributed the ball well and would feel harsh to give him less. Solly- 7 solid as usual. Nothing special. Konsa- 7 really benefitted from Kashi's presence. Did alright. Bauer- 7.5 nice to see him score again, solid defending as usual. Dasilva- 7.5 really enjoy watching him play, great at going forward and capable of winning the ball back. Kashi 9 what a player. Dominated a championship midfield. Fosu 8 looks like we nicked a great little player, class on the ball and nearly scored an absolute worldy. Forster-Caskey 8 again benefitted from having Kashi next to him, gave him the room to attack more. Magennis 7.5 went quiet for large spells but still got 2, second was a very good finish.

Amos: 7 - Got his body in the way well, confident with crosses Solly: 8 - Played really well, great sliding tackle in our penalty area late in the game!! Konsa: 7 - Assured, dont remember him making a mistake Bauer: 8 - Same as Konsa, yet gets the extra mark for the goal Dasilva: 8.5 - As already said by someone on the match thread - We must have the best left side in the Division Kashi: 8.5 - We've missed him, great range of passing Fosu: 8 - Looks like a proper gem, taken a mark from him for choosing to shoot instead of passing Forster-Caskey: 8 - Looks like he'll improve with Kashi alongside him, almost how Stephens improved when Cousins came into the squad Magennis: 8.5 - Took his two goals really well Clarke: 8 - I like the look of him, great cut back for one of the goals Holmes: 10 - Erm it was a friendly Ricky relax... Basically he played like it was a relegation decider!!
Amos - 7 Good positioning, missed one cross, but apart from that, solid debut. Solly - 7 Solid game from him. Konsa - 7 Another good game. Bauer - 7.5 Much better than Tuesday, extra half point for goal. Dasilva - 8 Excellent, what he lacks in stature, he makes up for in ability. Kashi - 8 Great return. Fosu - 8.5 Should have passed once but apart from that looks a handful and took his goal well. Forster-Caskey - 8.5 Involved a lot, think he'll do well this season. Magennis - 8 Took both goals really well. Clarke - 8 Not sure why some have taken against him, played well. Holmes _ 9 MOM, in a great team performance.
Amos - 7 Decent debut. Handling sooooooo much better than Rudd's. Very vocal and calm.
Solly - 7 I can think of no better epithet than "Solly-esque"...
Dasilva - 7 The little fella is really very good. First touch almost inevitably outstanding.
Konsa - 7 Still going to be first choice for me. Calm in possession, and has that one thing that none of the other centre backs have. That little bit of pace to get himself out of trouble.
Bauer - 7 Better than Tuesday, and extra half point for the goal. I still would have Pearce in as he is more vocal, and will be more helpful to Konsa.
Forster-Caskey - 6.5 A bit of a stroll really. Not putting down his performance at all, but playing alongside Kashi gives him free rein to move up and down the pitch. Should have scored late on.
Kashi - 9.5 Now, there is no such thing as a perfect game, but this was pretty close to being one. Never stopped moving, always available when playing out from the back. Range of passing with both feet - superb. Tackling not quite there, but having been out for for so long, his timing was bound to be off. Tired badly, but after 2 years away, who's surprised? Like a new signing, and a bloody good one. Keep him fit for 30+ games, and we could be in with a shout. MOTM, due to the impact he had on the way that we were able to play.
Fosu - 8 Robinson may have found a real diamond here. Enormous potential. One period in the second half had Ipswich chasing shadows. Took his goal very well (no first touch, passed it into the corner of the net). Certainly a crowd pleaser, with his ball skills. Could be a game changer for Charlton. And, surely, barring injuries, can only get better.
Clarke - 7 Succeeded in doing what he's been trying to do every time he's played. Stitched the whole beautiful, flowing, liquid system together. Tried very hard against Norwich, without anything really coming off. Got just about everything right this game. Would have been an 8, but for his stupid, petulant challenge in the 2nd half. In a competitive game, it would have been a red card, which could well cost us points.
Holmes - 9 Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. We could run out of superlatives. Two goals, and 2 assists. 6-1 up, and still chasing back and producing crunching tackles. Still sometimes runs into cul-de-sacs, but always trying to make things happen. After his usual early season attempt for goal of the season, saw him line up a free kick. I said to my mate, "Ricky will struggle to get this one up and down over the wall, it's too close." What do I know? A delightful little chip of a kick, up, over, and into the top corner. He is, without a doubt, the best free kick taker I can remember. And that includes both Kermogant, and the legend that is Johnny Jackson. I have a feeling that Ricky enjoys the hero worship that we Addicks are giving him.
Magennis -7 Two goals, but not his best game. Surprisingly bullied by the Ipswich centre backs. May have been carrying the knee injury he picked up in the first half. Still showed good movement, and battled hard.
Amos 7 So little to do but brought a sense of authority and kicked well on occasion with his weaker foot Solly 7 Possibly not the sort of marauding full back best suited to this system but just such a good defender and footballer Konsa 8.5 Oozes class in possession in his best position Bauer 8.5 Best I've seen him for some time. Focused and dominant Dasilva 7 Good to see his skill and athleticism back Kashi 9 Wow! I missed a lot of his initial purple patch but this is the real midfield general Fosu 8.5 Terrific endeavour to go with his obvious skill. Repeatedly dispossessed them Forster-Caskey 8 Excellent all round midfield display. Shame about the one on one. Magennis 8 Sincerely hope he stays Clarke 8 Skillful and industrious. Might need to watch his temperament after getting involved in more than one pre-season niggle. Holmes 9 After a leisurely start he absolutely destroyed them. And two exquisite goals. Watt n/a Worked hard too. We could have a lot worse as back up.

Love that line and sums Ricky Holmes up. Work rate is always phenomenal regardless of the occasion.
