MacG: 7 one great stop Gunter: 7 Pearce: 8.5 Impressive. Famewo: 7 Dobson: 7 DJ: 8 Some sweet crosses with his left and right foot and a few decent tackles too. Gilbey: 6.5 Lee: 6.5 Purrington: 7 Stockley: 6 Washington: 7.5 for is work rate not his finishing but he is two in two now Referee: 2 Totally inept.
MacG: 7 - good game but only 3 shots on target to deal with. Not much he could do about the goal and save of the season in the second half. Wish he'd come and claim a few more crosses.
Gunter: 7.5 - reckon he looks best playing right side of a back three. Fantastic cover for DJ ahead of him - always on hand to bail him out when Miller got away from him.
Pearce: 8 - loves these physical battles. Helped keep Smith quiet all night (and his after the whistle penalty challenge was hilarious).
Famewo: 7 - so comfortable with the ball at his feet but gets us into dangerous situations when his ability/decision making doesn't quite live up to his confidence. Still thought he had a good game overall and would love us to convert him to a perm.
Dobson: 7 - put himself about a lot, but a quieter performance than his recent MoM showings. Rathbone and Wiles should be as stern a test as he gets this season in the centre of the park though, and he held his own. A few misplaced passes and the odd poor decision perhaps a sign of the last 270mins of football catching up with him.
DJ: 8 - feel like he got the better of Miller over the 90, if sometimes more by luck than judgement in defence. Less likely to skin his man than Leko but he just needs that half a yard and nine times out of ten a fantastic ball comes in. The rest of this division won't defend his crosses as well as Rotherham did.
Gilbey: 8.5 - just doesn't stop running. Needed his work rate against a really energetic Rotherham midfield. Not the same player as Aribo or Gallagher but I feel he's the closest we've had to them for some time on the turnover and he looked pivotal to the majority of our counter attacking play last night.
Purrington: 7.5 - making that LWB position his own - helping get balls in from the left or winning headers at the back post from the other side. Very nearly assisted Washington after beating his man in similar fashion to his goal on Saturday.
Stockley: 6.5 - harsh booking early doors made it impossible for him play his usual, physical game. Coupled with a tall, strong Rotherham back line and he was fairly ineffectual, but as with the rest of the squad, can't fault his work rate and industry on the night.
Washington: 8.5 - up until the goal was looking his best without the ball at his feet. His runs dragged their back line around all game, although the balls through to him were rarely good enough to capitalise on his movement. Could've had a hattrick but the two missed chances perhaps harder to convert than they initially looked in real time. (I commented how poor he'd been on the ball about 5mins before his goal, so, you're welcome.)
Referee: 4 - Since Jacko took over we've become a much more combative side and so opposition fans will turn on a more lenient ref (sunderland) whilst we will turn on a stricter one (last night). Whilst he was far too whistle happy in that regard, I actually thought he was broadly even for most of the first half. That opinion got completely reversed in the second half. Bottling a clear second yellow for Ihiekwe a sign of just how far the game had gotten away from him.
MacG: 8 - he came for a cross, he came for a cross, our line-rooted keeper, he came for a cross. OK, his distribution was slow and erratic but the sight of him picking the ball out of the air had me going weak at the knees. Gunter: 7.5 Pearce: 9 Famewo: 8 Dobson: 4 - oh dear, just about everything he touched turned to merde, not that he didn’t stop trying. DJ: 8 Gilbey: 7 Lee: 6 Purrington: 7.5 Stockley: 7 Washington: 8.5 - an example to all of us of how to make the best of what abilities you have. Referee: 0.5 and that’s being generous.
MacG: 7.5 - Kept busy and one outstanding save that won us a point Gunter: 7 - One of his best games for us; seemed involved a lot and linked well with DJ Pearce: 6.5 - He does love a battle, and held up OK! Famewo: 7 - Some excellent play (inc forward dribbles) but does like to give the odd hospital pass Dobson: 6.5 - Much better second half when he got stuck in DJ: 6.5 - Played his wing back role very well till he ran out of steam Gilbey: 7.5 - Fantastic energy and drive throughout Lee: 7 - Oozed class once he'd woken up from a slow start Purrington: 6 - Relatively quiet night out on the left for him Stockley: 6 - They had his number and tried to nullify him throughout, helped by the ref; kept going though! Washington: 7 - 100% effort but missed three gilt-edged chances before scoring Referee: 1- He wasn't a bad ref, but once you set you're stall out, if you fail to follow through you are weak. Be interesting to see how his assessor marks him on this game!
MacG: 8.0 Gunter: 8.0 Pearce: 8.0 Famewo: 7.5 Dobson: 7.5 DJ: 7.5 Gilbey: 7.5 Lee: 8.0 Purrington: 8.0 Stockley: 7.5 Washington: 8.0 Referee: where did this clown get his licence from? 0
Blackett-Taylor:n/a
Agree totally with these scores. Excellent user name as well! can’t believe some of the low marks for such a battling performance against the best side we have played.
MacG: 6.5 Terrific save from close range in second half Gunter: 6.5 Pearce: 6.5 Famewo: 6 Dobson: 5 Vulnerable; frequently by-passed DJ: 6 Needs to improve accuracy of passes and shots Gilbey: 6.5 Positive performance as attacking midfielder Lee: 6 Wayward passes and free-kicks Purrington: 6.5 Stockley: 6 Washington: 6.5 Positive and aggressive Referee: 4.5 Took too long over restarting play after infringements We were lucky to draw. Rotherham's passing and movement are far superior
MacG: 6 good save poor kicks and distribution Gunter: 6 Pearce: 7 Famewo: 7 Dobson: 7 DJ: 6 Gilbey: 7 Lee: 6 Purrington: 7 Stockley: 6 should of been subbed last 20 frightened of getting a second yellow Washington: 8 Referee: 2 very poor back normal league one standard
MacG: 7.5 - Massive credit for the one handed save. Otherwise some good, some not so good. Gunter: 7.5 - Defended really well. Looked like a proper, massively experienced defender. Pearce: 7.5 - Same as Gunter. Famewo: 7.5 - Same as Gunter but with added ball carrying ability. Dobson: 6.5 - Lots of effort. DJ: 7.5 - Did the RWB job really well. Carried enough threat going forward bit it was mainly about the tackles and tracking. Gilbey: 7 - Doing well. He runs the right channel well but needs a goal soon. Lee: 7 - Buzzed around all night and looked threatening coming in from the left. Very important player. Purrington: 7 - Won his share of the headers and gave another steady performance. Stockley: 6.5 - Did his best but the early booking stiffled him a bit. Defended our box brilliantly. Washington: 7 - Ran really well off the ball. Doesn't have the best touch one on one but was a nice clever shot for his goal. Referee: 4.5 - Not the best but not helped by some of the play-acting.
Blackett-Taylor:n/a - Looked lost at RWB. That substitution didn't work.
MacG: 6. (Great save but kicking and aerial domination leaves a lot to be desired) Gunter: 7 Pearce: 8 Famewo: 7 Dobson: 8 DJ: 7 Gilbey: 8.5 Lee: 7 Purrington: 7 Stockley: 6.5 Washington: 7.5
MacG: 7 Good save from the header which was straight at him Gunter: 7 Distribution a bit so so. Pearce: 7.5 Battler. Kept Smith quiet with help from Stockley Famewo: 7 One nice run which panicked their defence Dobson: 7 not as good as last two games. Still decent DJ: 8 Hats off to you DJ. Vg wing back performance again. Gilbey: 6.5 Minus 1 for the miss for nine yards Lee: 6.5 Not on it today Purrington: 7 Another good performance Stockley: 6.5 Didn’t win much in the air, except defensively where he is exceptional Washington: 7.5 Two goals in two games
MacG: 7 stop pushing the bloody ball back into play! Gunter: 7.5 highest rating all season Pearce: 8 grate battling performance Famewo:8.5 does like a run with the ball Dobson: 8 worked his socks off DJ: 7.5 very good 2nd half Gilbey:8 very good going forwards Lee: 8 impressive effort 2nd half Purrington: 7 as per DJ Stockley: 7 done well playing under a ridiculous yellow in the 4th minute Washington: 8 MoM Referee: 1 hugely frustrating no bottle, shameful decisions hope we never see him again
MacG: 7 Very good save. He does like to palm the ball back into play. Surely the Goalie coach should be all over this? Gunter: 8 Very good and solid! Made some much needed blocks. Pearce: 8 Do like JP when he's in this mode Famewo:7 Funny one to mark. Strong but nearly cost us 2 goals. Needs to think about the game more rather than rely on upper body strength to get out each hole Dobson: 6 Not his best game and passing quite wayward. DJ: 8 Excellent tracking, use of the ball and some crosses that could have led to direct goals. Gilbey:7 Good engine. Lacked some of his usual quality. Needs to improve that 1st touch when receiving the ball on the D. Bad conversion from 8 yards out. Lee: 8 Very good to watch and skillful. He really worked hard yday. Purrington: 7 Good to see him in this new role. Some areas of defending will suffer for it but suddenly become a "threat" Stockley: 7 Did well while walking a tight rope Washington: 7 Good endeavour and goal. Some misses in vital passages of play.
MacG: 7.5, Couple of good saves/stops kept us in the game - needs to improve distribution and dominate the 6 yd box a bit more Gunter: 7, Better Pearce: 7.5, Solid, but lucky the guy was offside, could have been a pen and a red. Famewo: 6.5, Slow start but got better ... needs to be more careful on his upfield expeditions Dobson: 7.5, Another fine game, looked tired at the end but didn't stop running DJ: 7, Good game, good crosses and applied himself well defensively Gilbey:7.5,As above Lee: 8 - great game Purrington: 7.5, Stockley: 6.5, put himself about but hampered by the early booking ... 0.5 off for that aimless last pass at the end - could have set up a Rotherham break. (Thought Davison should have replaced him with 15-20 to go) Washington: 8.5, Never stops running and a great team player, should score more but so pleased he got the goal Referee: 1, Hopeless
Blackett-Taylor: n/a Came on too late - Didn't get a chance to shine.
MacG: 8- Starting to look like a number 1. No clean sheet, but made some wonderful saves. Gunter: 7 Pearce: 7 Famewo: 7 Dobson: 7 The back line looks more disciplined now passing it forward now a lot more. DJ: 7 Gilbey:7 Lee: 7 Purrington: 7 It was a hard fort battle in midfield- what you love to see. Stockley: 7- Harsh yellow card, but he keeps on diving about Washington: 8- Great Goal!
Blackett-Taylor: Look good, and help us get the goal- the kid looks good.
Jonnie Jackson: 8- Had a test today- had to come back against an inform team- we would of definitely lost that under Atkins-the team seem more confident now- I think we are into something good!!!!
MacG: 7 - One great save 2nd half. Gunter: 7 - Solid defending. Pearce: 8 - Captains game, 3 decent games on the trot now - keep it up. Famewo: 7 - Brings the ball out well. Dobson: 6.5 - Didn't notice him too much, but has made a difference since returning. DJ: 7.5 - So glad that he's back on song, proving well worth his fee. Gilbey: 7.5 - Another player making a difference since his return. Great signing from LB! Lee: 7.5 - I appreciate a decent footballer, just like dad. Purrington: 7 - Solid from Ben, our best LWB. Stockley: 6.5 - Early unfair booking but still always gives 100%. Referee: 2 - n/a Blackett-Taylor:n/a
MacG: 7 - One great save Gunter: 7.5 Pearce: 8 Famewo: 7 - the marauding runs worry me Dobson: 6.5 - bit disappointing after past couple of games.
