KAMINSKI: 5.5. Nearly cost us. RAMSAY: 9 Superb, love him JONES: 8.5 Our most potent attacking threat? BELL: 8 Excellent assured debut APTER: 8 Grew into the game CAREY: 8 Hadn’t realised how big he was, had an excellent second half COVENTRY: 7.5 Keeps things ticking DOCHERTY: 7 EDWARDS: 8.5 Feel like he’s going to have a lot of tough afternoons this year, but stood up to the challenge very well. KELMAN: 5.5 On the edge of it - makes you realise how good godden is at holding up the ball, because he didn’t offer that. Did almost score tho, showed killer instinct there. CAMPBELL: 7.5 Won’t run teams ragged like last year, but still offered a good amount.
KAMINSKI: 5 - had only one thing to do and his balls up could (and should) have cost us. Looked reluctant to come for crosses. RAMSAY: 8 - a Rolls Royce of a player JONES: 8.5 - dominant defensively and a menace in the opposition box. Could have scored twice and an assist for the winner BELL: 7 - made me nervous in the first half dawdling on the ball but, like the players, maybe I need to settle into the season. Some good distribution down the left in the second half APTER: 7.5 - learning a new position and a very good debut. He doesn’t have Small’s strength and raw pace but he’s a more skilful and technical player and one who is going to have far more end product. Two good shots just wide and some fine crosses (I particularly like his left-foot, Colin Walsh style in-swinger). CAREY: 7 - a quiet first half but came into the game more in the second. Some good combination play with Apter COVENTRY: 6 - a little off his exalted standards but improved as the game went on DOCHERTY: 5.5 - a poor first half in which he gave the ball away carelessly on a number of occasions. As is often the case, the Doc had his best period in the last 20 minutes, given his tremendous level of fitness EDWARDS: 8 - had a horse of a game against a dangerous opponent. His protracted first half duel with Baah in front of the East Stand was almost worth the admission money alone. KELMAN: 5 - had very little service and, in fairness to the lad, he’s had very little game time in pre-season. CAMPBELL: 6 - blew hot and cold but still troubled Watford on occasions Referee: 5 - missed a couple of penalties but wasn’t too bad otherwise Subs:LEABURN: 7 - made an immediate impact. Good to see Miles back, as he is well capable of making an impact at this level
Knibbs - rangy and athletic and anticipated Lloyd’s knockdown for the winner, finishing with aplomb. Gillesphey - slotted in nicely Olaofe - strong, fast and athletic. Part of our strongest ever bench
KAMINSKI: 6.5 - Could've cost us a penalty before we scored RAMSAY: 8 - What we've come to expect from him. Classy. JONES: 7.5 - Solid as always BELL: 7.5 - Disappointed he started over Macca, however he impressed. APTER: 8 - Think we may have a gem here. CAREY: 8.5 - I thought he had an excellent debut. COVENTRY: 7 - Went about his business efficiently. DOCHERTY: 6 - Will be losing his 1st team spot soon, needs to be better and do more. EDWARDS: 7.5 - Solid and was up for the battle. KELMAN: 6 - Quiet, but I'm sure he'll start firing soon. CAMPBELL: 6.5 - Frustrating as per end of last season. Some slack passing at times. Referee: Subs:LEABURN: 7 - Made their defence look tiny!
Knibbs - Gonna be a star for us, can just sense it. Reminds me of Jude Bellingham. Gillesphey - No sulking, fitted back in superbly. Olaofe - So strong in pulling away from challenges.
KAMINSKI: 5.5 Excellent defence meant he wasn't worked hard..plus the momentnof madness RAMSAY: 8.5 Looks like a top-half Championship player at the very least JONES: 9 Brilliant all-round performance BELL: 8 Looks very assured and classy. Just needs to know when not to dwell too much APTER: 8.5 As others have said, he grew into the game. Stuck to his defensive tasks well and clearly has more consistent end product than Small CAREY: 8 A promising debut COVENTRY: 7.5 Solid as ever DOCHERTY: 6 Just doesn't offer enough gping forward and is consistently 10 metres away from the player he is tracking. EDWARDS: 8.5 Watford Observer comments tell you enough - generally too good for Baah KELMAN: 6.5 Had little service, thought he tried reasonably hard CAMPBELL: 5.5 Sadly I'm not sure he's good enough for this level Referee: 3.5 Subs:LEABURN: 7 The new Chuks?
KAMINSKI: 6.5 Deanoesque. RAMSAY: 8.5 imperious JONES: 8.5 extra half for assist BELL: 8 one dodgy moment but looks secure APTER: 8 fine debut in attack defence remains a worry CAREY: 8.5 amazed we got him on a free COVENTRY: 7 too many back/sideways DOCHERTY: 6 weak link EDWARDS: 8.5 hope he's OK. We have no cover (MotM) KELMAN: 6 lacks movement. Always knew he was just a poacher CAMPBELL: 6.5 final ball poor but then KELMAN went missing Referee: 5 fussy apart from pens Subs: Leaburn 6.5 looked sharp Knibbs 6.5 cameo extra half for goal Gillesphey 6 not overawed Olaofe 6.5 cameo, looked dangerous potential crowd favourite
KAMINSKI: 5 almost cost us the points at the end RAMSAY: 7 played well, maybe a bit lucky to get away with that misskick in his own 6yd box though! JONES: 8 dominant and confident as usual BELL: 7 started a bit casual. But grew into the game. Looks decent APTER: 8 caused them problems. Great delivery and industrious. CAREY: 8.5 MOTM great debut looks a clever signing and more to come hopefully COVENTRY: 7 solid performance DOCHERTY: 7 covered so much ground and worked his nuts off for the team EDWARDS: 7 looked comfortable and got forward well a few times. Was brilliant when he mugged off their winger and left him crying by the advertising hordings! KELMAN: 6 a bit quiet, maybe lacking a bit of match sharpness. Some nice touches here and there CAMPBELL: 7 caused them problems all game and they resorted to doubling up and kicking him Referee: 5 erratic and missed two blatant pens for us Subs:LEABURN: 7 looked really up for it. Good to see him back
Knibbs: great composed finish, a joyous moment! Gillesphey: solid Olaofe: an exciting Chuks like cameo. Really looking forward to see this lad more
