MANNION: 7 did fine A.MITCHELL: 7.5 pretty good JONES: 8 pretty solid. bonus half point for the goal GILLESPHEY: 7 did ok RAMSAY: 7.5 Did ok. Bonus half point for that tackle COVENTRY: 7.5 not bad DOCHERTY: 7.5 not bad ANDERSON: 7 not bad but a bit anonymous EDWARDS: 9 Excellent AHADME: 7 worked hard. Was blowing out his arse when he came off CAMPBELL: 7 did ok, but a bit anonymous REFEREE: 7 seemed fussy at times, but not others. Kept his cards in his pocket until very late on when he had no choice. I thought it was a pen, but I get why it wasn’t given
MANNION: 7 Love a Keeper, who you barely notice. Gives me confidence. A.MITCHELL: 6 Needs to tighten up on his distribution JONES: 9 Fine all round performance, topped off by the goal GILLESPHEY: 8 Generally couldn't fault him RAMSAY: 7 Grew into the game COVENTRY: 7 Steady Eddy DOCHERTY: 6 Am expecting more from him over the weeks and months ANDERSON: 7 Good engine EDWARDS: 8 Like this boy. I think he has the makings of very good player. AHADME: 6 Not given much in the way of service, but didn't ease up CAMPBELL: 6 As above REFEREE: 7 Nothing dire.
MANNION: 7 - Very little to do but looked assured throughout A.MITCHELL: 7 - Effective and calm JONES: 7.5 - Dealt with everything, looked like a proper leader. Great finish GILLESPHEY: 6 - Felt like he allowed Edwards to do a lot of his defending for him and was a bit of a wasted place as a result RAMSAY: 6 - Should have offered more in an attacking sense but one brilliant tackle COVENTRY: 7 - Stopped them playing through the middle of us which made a nice change. Kept us calm second half as we looked to counter DOCHERTY: 6 - Should have scored early on and mostly steamed into people late. Won't be his best game ANDERSON: 6.5 - Tackled well and deeper than usual, linked play quite nicely in tight areas EDWARDS: 8 - Colossus. Won every tackle and every header and made one unbelievable clearance with his head AHADME: 6.5 - Ran non-stop and won every high ball. Didn't benefit himself from the high press but made life miserable for Wigan's defenders CAMPBELL: 6 - Didn't make the most of opportunities to break, One decent shot REFEREE: 6 - Pernickety but mostly ok
Aneke: n/a - Don't shoot from there Chuks Kanu: n/a - Stopped the Wigan defence settling Watson : n/a - Immediately pressed higher than Ramsay and helped us pile on pressure. Won a free kick high up and then put the ball in that led to confusion in the Wigan defence and the goal Berry: n/a - Hi Luke!
MANNION: 7 A.MITCHELL: 7.5 JONES: 8 GILLESPHEY: 7.5 - I thought he would be the weak link of the defense but was solid today. RAMSAY: 6 - very hit or miss. Their winger constantly had him on his back heels but made some important tackles COVENTRY: 8 DOCHERTY: 8 ANDERSON: 5 - great run for the potential penalty but seemed lethargic most of the time EDWARDS: 9 AHADME: 7 CAMPBELL: 6 - frustrating. He will give max effort to save a corner or lead a counter attack but then looks like he is just walking around most of the time. Ahadme was visibly frustrated with him for not pressing at the same thing as he was REFEREE: 6
MANNION: 7 - Looked steady when called upon and distribution was not bad at all.
A.MITCHELL: 8 - Great defender, really seems to have every part of a game you'd want, good feet, can pick a pass, strong, good in the air, good interceptor, excited to see more of him
JONES: 7+1 for goal = 8 Looked much stronger than last season with a better defence around him, don't let it be understated how good that finish was from a centre half
GILLESPHEY: 7 - I liked how him and Edwards seemed comfortable swapping roles and seems to be the best ball player of our defence. Like Jones looked better with a stronger set up around him
RAMSAY: 7 - 8 first half 6 second levels out at an 8, I saw a comment that he was on a different wave length in the first half but from my POV looked the only one likely of creating chances for us, that block on Aaagard was fantastic but he seemed to fade through being knackered
COVENTRY: 8 - Bar one mistake in the first half in which I think he slipped was so good at helping us keep shape and the ball in a game where we didn't see much of it. I thought he marked well and picked his time to press well, more of that please Con!
DOCHERTY: 7 - In the first half I thought he was doing too much and losing the ball when he could have retained a few times but seemed to keep it simpler in the second and it worked out for him. Can see him being brilliant in a game where we see more of the ball
ANDERSON: 8 - Did a great job in a slightly less attacking role, made a few good interceptions and touch tackles and generally made good decisions with the ball
EDWARDS: 8 MOTM - What a debut, a little subdued going forward at times particularly in the first half but for good reason, he kept Rankine a very good winger at this level, almost silent. He made some crucial interceptions and great to see a set piece taker who can get it in there, we will definitely score from his throw ins throughout the season
AHADME: 6 - Lots of endeavour with little output, showed moments of being a good foil but the difference between him and Chuks was immense, seemed to be one of the first to fade fitness wise, am sure he will build on that performance
CAMPBELL: 5 - It feels a bit harsh but on reflection aside from that chance where he shot at Tickle he didn't create a great deal today, looked lively however and was a willing presser at times. Wigan's defence was tough to break down today and probably didn't suit TC to well in reality
REFEREE: 8 - Can't say I noticed a great deal wrong
Aneke: n/a - Made a great impact and you can see the squad just wanna get it to him, I hope we see more of Chuks this year
Kanu: n/a - Willing runner but didn't make a great deal of impact, good hustler when you're winning a game though and he'll get his chances this year
Watson : n/a - Solid replacement for a tired Ramsay, nice to have 2 good options at each wingback
Berry: n/a - Stream cut out basically as soon as he came on so could have a had a 10/10 worldie for 5 minutes and I'd never have known, cheers Sky
MANNION: 8 Did everything we needed A.MITCHELL: 8 excellent performance from the 3 defenders. JONES: 9 as above with tidy finish too GILLESPHEY: 8 RAMSAY: 8 vitally important tackle COVENTRY: 7 solid DOCHERTY: 8 looks like an upgrade on Dobbo ANDERSON: 7 ok EDWARDS: 7 good AHADME: 7 bloody hard working but not threatening CAMPBELL: 7 hard running REFEREE: 7 good
MANNION: 6.5 Did fine but no saves to make so hard to score higher A.MITCHELL: 7 solid JONES: 8 Solid and great finish GILLESPHEY: 7.5 solid RAMSAY: 8 Great tackle though their plaer wanted too much time. Did more defending than attacking but we were away. COVENTRY: 8 Busy DOCHERTY: 8 Busy ANDERSON: 7 I thought he had a good battle with their player and both cancelled each other out but his passing was fine. Would have won us a pen if ref did his job. EDWARDS: 8.5 Very strong game AHADME: 6.5 The way we were playing, was a bit of a hiding to nothing but did ok CAMPBELL: 6 A bit like Ahadme but it wasn't a game for him. REFEREE: 5 I thought he missed a pen and some of his decisions were stange.
MANNION: 6, Didn't have a lot to do A.MITCHELL: 7, Proper defender JONES: 8, Might see the best of him now he has Mitchell alongside GILLESPHEY 7, Steady RAMSAY, 7, When he got forward he looked a threat, didn't see enough of that though COVENTRY: 7, Probed and worked hard DOCHERTY: 7, As above ANDERSON: 7, And again EDWARDS: 9, MOM, Some outstanding moments and steady throughout AHADME: 7, A handful CAMPBELL: 5, Tough game but he will learn REFEREE: 6, Did ok
MANNION: 7 seemed fine and good kicking A.MITCHELL: 7 solid JONES: 8 +1 for the winner GILLESPHEY: 7 solid RAMSAY: 7 +1 for that excellent recovery tackle COVENTRY: 7 solid DOCHERTY: 6 done ok but hopefully a lot more to come ANDERSON: 7 standard Anderson performance EDWARDS: 9 motm - brilliant defensive display wonder if he will go LCB to allow small at LWB Espesh at home AHADME: 6.5 so good flicks a lot slower than I imagined would be though CAMPBELL: 6 not quite the pre-season threat but tried hard REFEREE: 5 poor but seen worse
MANNION: 6.5 - didn't have a lot to do but looked comfortable and assured. A.MITCHELL: 7 - part of a very solid defensive display. Not sure he was really challenged too much but clearly has some quality about him. JONES: 8 - he looks completely at home in a back 3, and finished that like a proper striker! Excellent performance GILLESPHEY: 7.5 - along with Edwards really allowed nothing down that side of the field. A back 3 also suits him well. Hopefully we will see more of his passing range moving forward. RAMSAY: 8 - a couple of nice balls in, and a superb last ditch tackle highlighted a solid performance, hopefully he stays fit! COVENTRY: 7 - thought he did a nice job in the Dobson style role. He won't be a player who will show up on the goals/assists stats too much but could be a key player. DOCHERTY: 7.5 - industrious and productive performance. I sense he was asked to play further forward than is ideal for him, but looks the sort of player who will give you everything he has got. ANDERSON: 4 - genuinely tried to come into this season with an unbiased view on him, but I have no idea what he brings to the team. He isn't a ball winner, isn't creative, isn't a goal threat and games just tend to pass him by. Hope Berry comes in for him soon. EDWARDS: 9 - was surprised when he was picked ahead of Small, but my word what a player he looks like! Just as good going forward as defensively. Already looks an absolute steal. AHADME: 6.5 - was feeding off scraps but looks like he could be a real handful. Reminds me a bit of Kermorgant but with a little less quality at his feet. Work rate was top notch as well, just didn't have a lot to work with. CAMPBELL: 5.5 - was an ineffective winger and today looked like an ineffective striker. Worked hard to press from the front, but I'm yet to be convinced he should be keeping out the players he is. REFEREE: 5 - was very whistle happy, particularly on us, but didn't have any major decisions to get right or wrong.
