Amos 6.5- tidied up some sloppy backpasses and saved some good shots but at 2-1 had a mare punching and flapping at the ball when a reassuring presence was required . Come out and claim the ball and hold onto it skittering their forwards out of the way with your knees in their faces Manuel Neuer style . Expect a free kick in your favour if you get the slightest nudge as per the laws of the game .
Solly 7 - great cross for first goal and reasonable defending .Should he have got tighter on the cross for their goal ? Maybe .
Bauer 8 - hard worker and gave Ranger and others no real chance . Calm and reassuring . Should he have challenged on their headed goal ? Perhaps .
Pearce 8 .5 - Good pro .hard worker too and got in some excellent challenges and blocks to prevent them scoring particularly one in first half .Should he have got in a challenge on their headed goal ? Definitely.
Da Silva 8.5 - neat tidy and skilful little player . Got forward well and dealt with Kightley . Should he have got in a challenge for their goal as shortest guy on far post ? Probably not .
Fosu7- nice touches and linking , not good with back to goal but caused problems for them .End product not quite there today but very promising .
Foster - Caskey 7 quiet game with some great goal attempts e.g. Over head kick . Cleared up well and did nothing wrong .
Kashi 7 - controlled midfield and started lots of good things but at times a little bit ponderous on the ball .Distribution needs to be a little quicker at times .
Holmes 8.5 - real energy and spark and exciting to watch . Clever turn for his goal and real enthusiasm . So much good comes from him but crossing clearly his weakest point.
Clarke 8 - this bloke has got great vision and played some fantastic passes . Shame his shot skimmed the post as he deserved a goal himself . Good pro and really pleased with his attitude and skill.
Magennis 8 - powerful headed goal and hard work . Roughed up their defenders which is always nice to see from a no 9 .should he have had more goals ? From the chances he had particularly the cross in the second half across the 6 yard box that he should have side footed in ? probably so . Not bad skill and link play as well but in danger of being the Danny Wellbeck of division 3 given the number of chances he needs before he can convert . But A goal every three games out of four until the end of the season would be terrific if he can keep that up .
Amos: 6. Worries me. Couple of crucial saves though.
Solly: 8. Best game in ages. Great crissbfor the goal
DaSilva: 8. Great little player
Bauer: 8 solid.
Pearce: 9 MOTM. Immense. Lost 0'5 for their goal.
Kashmir: 6. Passing was crap all day. On another occasion would have cost us. But still vital to this team.
Holmes: 7.5. Actually thought he wasn't having a great day until that goal. Crossing was poor but he is the cog on which this team turns
Forster-Caskey: 7. Ok.
Clarke: 8.5. First name on the team sheet.
Fosu-Henry: 6.5. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. Need to pick his confidence up after that failure to pass to Billy. Exciting young talent. Will get better.
Magennis 8.5. Immense. Just pipped for Motm by Pearce.
Dodoo: n/a certainly not going to pass judgement after 10 minutes but let's just say first impressions were not favourable.
Amos: 7 looks like Hart but more reliable Solly: 7 DaSilva: 6 Bauer: 7 Pearce: 8 mom Kashi: 7 Holmes: 7.5 Forster-Caskey: 6 Clarke: 5.5 not sure what he contributes Fosu-Henry: 6 faded after 60 mins. Magennis: 6.5 Dodoo: n/a Konsa: n/a
Are you joking about Clarke? He played some passes that Lineker & co would have creamed there pants about
Agree he a talented player and confess that was the first time I have seen him live. Some lovely touches but he was invisible for the first 30 mins and could be a luxury in League 1 when we are getting bullied.
Amos:7 rides his luck at times but doing Ok Solly:8.5 His "A" game today. great cross for goal. DaSilva:8 battled well for small one and is great going forward. Bauer:7.5 solid and strong. Pearce:8.5 blocked so many shots. old fashioned no nonsense CB Kashi:7 passing a bit off today but he is still great. Holmes:8.5 Ricky the road runner. cult hero with another cracking goal. Forster-Caskey:7.5 got better as the game went on. Clarke:9 MOM never stops working. simple passing and runs all day Fosu-Henry:6.5 picked the wrong options today but has talent. Magennis:8.5 played with confidence. Great header from solly's cross Dodoo: n/a Konsa: n/a
Amos: 5 - nickname flapper Solly: 7 DaSilva: 7 Bauer: 7 Pearce: 9 - immense today Kashi: 6.5 - caught on the ball a couple of times in first half which could have caused disaster. however adds so much stability to our side Holmes: 7 - would be higher if his corners had been better Forster-Caskey: 6.5 Clarke: 8.5 Fosu-Henry: 4 -poor today and kept trying to be too flashy Magennis: 7.5 Dodoo: n/a Konsa: n/a
No one deserved such a low mark as 4......that's somewhat insulting I have to say.
Amos 7: Not a lot for him to do today, but did alright. Solly 8.5: I thought he was excellent. Da Silva 8: Really good again. Bauer 7: Solid. Pearce 8.5: Please don't get injured this season. Kashi 7: Lots of sideways balls, and languid. He can do much better. Holmes 8.5: How has he spent his career operating in League 1 and 2?. Forster-Caskey Caskey 7.5: Stood out in 1st half, real box to box player. Faded mid game I thought. Clarke 8.5: A really skillful and canny midfielder. Fosu-Henry 7: Not everything came off. I wish he'd passed to Clarke 2nd half on overlap. Like his attitude though. Magennis 8.5: He gives everything. Always puts himself about. Becoming a real name in MSM football now.
Amos: 7 Solly: 7.5 DaSilva: 8 Bauer: 8 Pearce: 8 Kashi: 7 Holmes: 8 Forster-Caskey: 7 Clarke: 10 I have man love for Billy, don't know what grumpyaddick is on, sublime skills, exquisite passing, great covering, MOM by a mile, worth the entrance fee on his own. Fosu-Henry: 6.5 Magennis: 9
Amos: 7 a good save in first half but needs to communicate with his defence Solly: 8 peach of a cross DaSilva: 8 loved the way he out muscled much bigger players Bauer: 7 Pearce: 8 his blocks and clearances, particularly in the first half, kept us in it Kashi: 7 not his best game as he made a few mistakes but still a good player Holmes: 8.5 as soon as he hit that strike I knew it was going in. Forster-Caskey: 7 Clarke: 8 how many times was he hacked down and the useless ref did nothing Fosu-Henry: 6.5 should have passed to Clarke Magennis: 8 Super Josh.
Amos: 6 one good reaction save with his foot first half otherwise not much to do Solly: 8 stood up well to and sublime cross for the goal DaSilva: 8 such a classy full back. Bauer: 8 looked very assured Pearce: 9 some really important tackles and blocks. Immense. Kashi: 7 not up to his usual high standards early on but grew into the game Holmes: 8 they kept him largely out wide and his crossing wasn't great but as soon as he went inside he scored. worked back well too. Forster-Caskey: 6 didn't really notice him today Clarke: 8 movement and close control was excellent again Fosu-Henry: 6 linked well with Solly for the first but otherwise not much came off for him. Magennis: 8 Looked unsurprisingly a little tired after his international exertions but worked really hard and took his goal superbly.

Kashi: 6 God awful back pass near the start of the match almost cost us a goal and although he improved he wasn't dominant. Holmes: 9 My sons favourite player and a big reason for him wanting to come back for the next match. Great goal and a great all round performance. Forster-Caskey: 7 Didn't notice him too much but our midfield didn't get overun (not been able to say that often in the past) and there was plenty of good link play. Clarke: 7.5 Always available.

Kashi: 7 I love him Holmes: 7.5 Duracell Forster-Caskey: 7 Suave Clarke: 8 Intellectual football Fosu-Henry: 6.5 Almost, almost. Magennis: 7.5 He's won me over. Really solid, works hard.
