DaSilva: 6.5 Not great. Defended pretty well. Was sloppy in possession. He'll have better days. Still showed what he's capable of
Bauer: 8 Subtly very good. Reads the game well. Won his headers. I think we're starting to see the form of two years ago, and if we do he is easily a Championship defender.
Pearce: 7.5 For some reason I'm never fully sold on him, in part because I feel like he can get sucked out of position. But everything he had to do he did well. A good compliment to Bauer.
Kashi: 17. (9). Got caught in possession once. Gave it away another time. Poor by his standards. Seriously though, he's two classes above. Absolutely love the man. Had an 60 yard run and a good left footed shot at the end of it. Lovely day for him. Would have been man of the match had it not been for:
Forster-Caskey: 9.5 MOTM. That second. Woof. Got two goals. Broke up play well. Good in possession. He's another where if he plays to his potential he's easily too good for this league. Needs to do it week in and week out, but a great performance from him.
Holmes: 9 Lovely assist. Lovely goal.
Clarke: 8.5 I remember the first time I saw him I thought he'd be a Marmite player. But I think I was wrong. Works incredibly hard. He seems to be the "captain" of the press, really leading on that front. Seems to have a very good footballing brain as well. Set up Holmes' goal and had a couple others where he nearly broke down their defense.
Fosu: 6.5 Had some good runs. Didn't quite come off for him today. He'll have better days.
Magennis: 8.5: Glad he got his goal. Probably could have had a couple more but don't let that detract from the fact that he's an absolute handful. Occupied three central defenders. Pressed well. His movement was good. If he gets one and we get four then we'll do well.
Konsa: Fuck n/a. 8.5. Came on and changed the game. Was seemingly playing in the #10 role as a sort of reverse pivot to put pressure on their defense and midfield. Alternatively, Robinson said to him "Ez, go out there and run around a bit." Was excellent on the ball. Set up the third. Probably should have won a penalty (didn't look nearly as stonewall to me as it did to others but I didn't have a replay). A wonderful performance.
Ahearne-Grant: n/a Just not quite for him. Put a lovely curling effort wide. When he gets one, he'll get five. Just needs to click for him. Technically set up the fourth.
Jackson: n/a
First time getting to do this this season and over the moon about it.
Amos: 7. Much improved. Great spell in first half Solly: 6.5. Solid defensively but not convinced attacking wise DaSilva: 7 tough little fella. Deceptively strong Bauer: 7 dominant Pearce: 6 did ok Kashi: 6.5 not that involved but makes us look more comfortable Forster-Caskey: 8 two late goals put icing on a good all round performance Holmes: 8. Love him hence forgiven be being a little greedy at times Clarke: 7 tidy and intelligent play Fosu: 5.5. Not quite at it today Magennis: 6.5 great goal but a bit isolated a lot of the time Ahearne-Grant: n/a Konsa: n/a Jackson: n/a
Amos 7.5: Quick off his line and pulled of a great save in the first half. No problems from crosses today.
Solly 7: Looked a bit overwhelmed physically in the first half but dealt with all that came to him with relative ease.
Bauer 7
Pearce 7
Da Silva 7 A sub par first half defensively but showed his attacking qualities more in the second half as the game opened.
Kashi 8 Defensive genius, reads the game so well and composed in possestion. Good tackles and work rate as always.
JFC 8 Really put a shift in and contributed effectively in both boxes.
Fosu 6 His direct running caused lots of problems for those defense in the second half but decision making and passing let him down. Didn't impact the game much in the first half and missed a good chance.
Clarke 8 Very clever player only needs a touch or two to do something special.
Holmes 8.5 The kind of performance we've come to expect from him. Easily a Championship player.
Magennis 6.5 Got the goal brilliantly with a run across two defenders but was generally poor. Link-up play was terrible and missed a great chance.
KAG 6.5 Good energy
Konsa 7.5 Powerful run and great vision to pick out Jake for his first
Amos: 8.5 a lot better than usual. Crucial save at end of first half Solly: 7.5 strong DaSilva: 7.5 Bauer: 7.5 Pearce: 7.5 Kashi: 8.0 Forster-Caskey: 8.5 wonder goal Holmes: 9.0 motm Clarke: 8.5 Fosu: 7.5 Magennis: 7.5 should have had a hat trick Ahearne-Grant: n/a 6 Konsa: n/a 7 Jackson: n/a 10
Amos: 8.5 excellent game, no flapping and a couple of brilliant brave pieces of keeping especially in 1st half Solly: 6.5 steady solly DaSilva: 7.5 ha Bauer: strong and solid Pearce: strong and solid Kashi 7.5 always there as an outlet with a touch of class Forster-caskey 8.5 grew into the game and 2nd goal almost gave him man of the match Holmes: 8 always wanted the ball and a threat when he picked it up though sometimes a bit too greedy when better options available Clarke: 9 MOM worked tirelessly and don't remember him giving the ball away once really skilful player who I think was involved in every goal Fosu : 7 skilful player who must be a b*stard to play against Magennis 8 scored and excellent goal and worked hard up front Ahearne-Grant: n/a impressed with his cameo Konsa: n/a really put himself about when came on Jackson: n/a had 30 seconds won a header
Amos: 8 - Made some good saves today and ensured we held on to our 1-0 lead at HT Solly: 7 - Along with the majority of Defence did the job that was required of him, cant ask more Bauer: 7 - Same as Chris Solly Pearce: 7.5 - Same as the other two yet just added that calming influence in the back line Dasilva: 7.5 - Really good player going forward, isnt beaten easily in terms of the physical side Kashi: 8 - Yet another good performance yet getting caught on the ball a bit much Forster-Caskey: 9 - Lovely performance from him, great goal Holmes: 8.5 - Did well, took his goal well, great assist to start the day Clarke: 9 (MOTM) - He's everywhere, spraying passes left right and centre... Such a calm goal!! Fosu: 7.5 - He's a nice tricky player and I like him but must sort out his decision making Magennis: 7 - Took his goal well but drifted in and out of the match a bit
Amos - 7.5 - made some good saves, still learning to play with our defenders Solly - 7 DaSilva - 7 Bauer 7.5 Pearce - 7 Kashi 8 - another superb performance JFC - 7.5 Holmes - 8 - how do you mark this guy? hate to play against him Clarke - 8 Fosu - 7.5 Magennis - 7.5
Amos: 7.5 - Commanding Solly: 7 - solid but crossing was poor DaSilva: 7.5 He's going to be a very good player. Bauer: 7 Did everything asked of him Pearce: 7.5 very strong defender Kashi - 7 sits and sprays Forster-Caskey - 7.5 2goals and fine all round performance Holmes: 8 -Works so hard for the team. Outstanding Clarke: 8 - Was pivotal in this win Fosu 6.5 - Nice touches but didn't really come off for him today Magennis 7.5 - Good goal but missed a good chance and half chance. Ahearne-Grant: n/a Konsa: n/a Jackson: n/a
Amos 6 - some of the work he does is underrated like kicking and marshalling defence looks nervous at times Solly: 7 - as others have said the formation dosent suit as much as a 442 DaSilva: 7 decent getting forward Bauer: 8 - rock Pearce: 8 -solid Kashi: 8.5 gave teh ball away once or twice but even so - so many comparisons to Kishishev i love him Forster-Caskey: 8 - improving by the week looks really focused Holmes:9 - love him Clarke: 8 - love hime Fosu: 7 - real livewire can be expected this sort of play will drift in and out but when hes in wellllll Magennis:8 if his finishing was any better than six out of ten he be a premier league player Ahearne-Grant: n/a7 Konsa: n/a really harsh on him thats hes sitting on the bench at the moment great prospect, very versatile Jackson: n/a 7
Amos: 7.5 lots better, some good (and brave) saves in first half. Needs to improve communication with centre halves. Solly: 7 DaSilva: 7 did as well against attackers twice his size as could be expected. His pace and skill caused them issues later on Bauer: 7.5 Pearce: 7 Kashi: 7.5 love his touches, clearly too good for this division (when fit). Look forward to him getting a few goals this season Forster-Caskey: 8 great performance, only minus is he picked up a booking and could've been off after an off the ball incident with their no 3. Holmes: 8.5 never stops, sets his own high standard. Could do with realising that the rest of his team are not as bad as last year and he can rely on them to do things... (which brings me nicely to) Clarke: 8.5 my MOM, did loads of the unsung stuff, never stopped. Can pick a pass. Fosu: 7 Magennis: 7 not 100% but still got a good goal. When he's fit will be a nightmare for whoever is facing him Ahearne-Grant: n/a did well Konsa: n/a really stretched them, I think he was the difference between 2-1 and 4-1, even though JFC got the goals Jackson: n/a good bit of timewasting that we didn't actually need
