Amos: 7 not a lot to do, but did it well, including one very good claim Matthews: 6 showed the winger inside again, but sharper in possession than recently Famewo: 7 Assured Pearce: 8 where was this Pearce recently? Maatsen: 6 improving from recently Watson: 8 awesome 2nd half, everywhere Smith: 7 very good first half, faded JFC: 8.5 MoM Millar: 7 some positive sparks Washington: 7 a lot of effort, with some reward with a creditable assist. Better. Aneke: 8 well taken, sir
Amos: 6 Didn't need to do much Matthews: 7 Felt like he was back to last season's form . Deserves to start on Saturday Famewo: 7 Did well Pearce: 7 Real Captain's performance against his old club Maatsen: 5 Felt his inexperience showed at times Watson: 8 This was the Watson that I hoped we had signed . Don't play him alongside Pratley but rotate them Forster-Caskey: 8 We missed him . Having a left footed player at set plays gave us options Smith: 7 A good tidy performance Millar: 7 Suspect he was subbed to keep him fresh . Looked dangerous Aneke: 8 Matchwinner Washington: 7 Worked hard and did what was needed .
Amos: 6 Matthews: 7 Famewo: 7 Pearce: 9 won everything Maatsen: 5 worries me defensively Watson: 8 good holding role Forster-Caskey: 8 excellent first half Smith: 7 Millar: 6 becoming one of those frustrating wingers making the wrong decisions Aneke: 7 Washington: 6.5 worked hard Referee: 6 good apart from the penalty miss
Amos: 6.5 some good claims Matthews: 7.5 energetic. Some great blocks Famewo: 7.5 solid Pearce: 9 superb. Vintage JP Maatsen: 5.5 battled but not the player he was earlier this season Watson: 8.5. Very very good Forster-Caskey: 8.5 ditto we’ve missed him Smith: 7 did ok. Got the ball down Millar: 6.5. Was just starting to come to life when hooked Aneke: 7. great persistence for the goal Washington: 6.5 usual hard work but no presence as a striker
Amos: 7 I can't see how you can give him anything else
Matthews: 7 worth sticking with swapping him with Gunter is change for changes sake.
Famewo: 7.5
Pearce: 8 gets a 7 for his classic greeco roman free style but we saw the organiser, the real captain tonight. That's the Pearce we don't see enough of and is almost worth the odd mistake.
Maatsen: 5 bags of talent but this was a mens game today. His day will come.
Watson: 8.5 MOM play him where your get the most out of him and he is very good. Should be a surprise to no one. The 2nd captain.
Forster-Caskey: 8 3rd captain, a day for leaders. Probably our best midfielder and needs another years, at least, contract.
Smith: 6 see Maatsen but his mobility helps Watson play. Would pick him ahead of Shinnie and Pratley just on that.
Millar: 6 see Smith and Maatsen
Aneke: 7.5 unplayable at times
Washington: 7.5 not sure why people don't appricate his work rate but also slag other playets off for the lack of it?
Amos: 7 (Steady) Matthews: 7 (Solid, doesn't like to get beaten in 1v1) Famewo: 7 (Composed, reads the game well) Pearce: 8 (Leader, aggressive defending) Maatsen: 6.5 (Plenty of energy, but poor decisions) Watson: 7 (Did a good job protecting the defence and winning balls in the our box) Forster-Caskey: 7.5 (Best all round Midfielder at the club love his desire) Smith: 7 (Linked up very well first half, 2nd past him by) Millar: 7 (Direct, and got in behind but end product lacking) Aneke: 8 (Caused problems for the whole back 4, so much better in the side) Washington: 6.5 (Lots of running but no real threat)
Referee: 8 (Felt the referee was in a good position and made clear decisions throughout, only couple to question but he can say he gave it as he saw it with the penalty claim)
Amos: 6 Matthews: 7 - Good runs up the line but not always picked out Famewo: 7 Pearce: 7.5 - MOM Maatsen: 4 - A weak link in defence who was targeted, I don't know how Bows can't see this Watson: 6 - Better maybe because he had two 'movers' in front of him Forster-Caskey: 7 - Sublime first half but faded Smith: 6 - Bright first half but faded Millar: 5.5 - Marked down because he can't shoot and crosses were average Aneke: 6 - Good goal but he is so slow to react, seems to just wait for the ball which puts us under pressure Washington: 6 - I tink this current tem need his work rate, speed and energy but very little quality Referee: 5 - Better than most but that shows how bad the others have been
Amos: 6 Matthews: 6 Always looked like their winger could comfortably turn him, but Matthews was doggedly committed. Famewo: 7 Pearce: 8 Superb Maatsen: 6 Similar to Matthews. Prefer Purrington. Watson: 7 Forster-Caskey: 7 Battery drained in second half/ or slight injury. Smith: 6.5 Fell off second half. Felt sorry as no one could press with him first half. Millar: 6 Aneke: 7 Washington: 8.5 Loads of running, got into the box too but only one average Millar cross really got to him. Referee: 5 Aneke pushed a Wigan defender in the box, could have been yellow. Then he get's two handed push out the ground again nothing given.
Amos: 6 Matthews: 6 Famewo: 7 Pearce: 8 Maatsen:5 Watson: 9 Forster-Caskey: 8 Smith: 7 Millar: 8 Aneke: 8 Washington: 7 Referee: 7 ( one off for missing the pen, also one off for any lifer who does not think it was a pen )
your marks please ladies and gents, and the rest of you:
Amos: 7 a couple of good claims in the air Matthews: 6.5 did well, but had to be covered by Millar quite often Famewo: 7.5 class display Pearce: 8 motm the Pearce of old, maybe Bows fired him up, I think he won about a thousand headers Maatsen: 5.5 beaten numerous times, lost possession from corners at least twice putting us under pressure Watson: 7.5 closed down and blocked plenty Forster-Caskey: 7 instrumental first half, faded second Smith: 6 was okay, haven’t seen any of those worldie balls we were promised yet but I think they’re coming as he settles into the side Millar: 6.5 on and off. Almost scored a great goal but seems less confident on the right Aneke: 7.5 battler and class today, on his day he’s immense - but only really saw it first half Washington: 7 good energy and closing down, good assist Referee: 5 should’ve been a pen
Amos: 6.5 not a lot to do Matthews: 6.5 Famewo: 7.5 Pearce: 7.5 game suited him, lots of good blocks, back to basics stuff Maatsen: 6.5 Watson: 7.5 did a good job Forster-Caskey: 8 MOM Smith: 6 Millar: 7 Aneke: 8 Washington: 7.5 hard work for our covering left back Referee: 7.5 I can see why he didn't give the penalty, apart from that thought he had a good game. A relief after some of the crap recently.
Amos: 6 - didn’t have much to do but doesn’t command his box staying rooted to his line Matthews: 7.5 - played well Famewo: 8 - good all round display Pearce: 8.5 - very good this time Maatsen: 7 - some good some bad Watson: 8 - played well Forster-Caskey: 9 - ran the midfield Smith: 7 - promising but poor first touch let him down Millar: 7 - needs to improve his passing and shooting Aneke: 8.5 - nice goal should have had a penalty Washington: 9 - high energy performance up front and tracking back, worked really hard Referee: 6 - not too bad, - 1 for missing the pen.
Jaiyesimi: n/a - poor first touch, looks like he can’t run?? Gunter: n/a - solid when he came on Shinnie: n/a - didn’t do much Schwartz: n/a - didn’t do much
Amos: 6.5 Less busy than usual - tick Matthews: 7 Back to the Matthews we like Famewo: 7 Assured Pearce: 8.5 MOM Same again Saturday please Maatsen: 6 He has gone backwards since arriving IMHO and I have no idea why Watson: 7.5 About time, now we need a repeat on Saturday Forster-Caskey: 8 We have missed him recently, very, very good Smith: 7 Tidy player, can see him getting better for us with more game time Millar: 7 Worked hard, final shots and passes could have been better Aneke: 7.5 Strong outing, nice goal Washington: 7 Solid flick on for our goal and proved you don’t need the ball at your feet much in a game to make a very effective contribution. He was a pain in Wigan’s backside all game. Referee: 7 One of the better refs we have had of late, but missed a blatant pen...
