No idea how Biamou missed that chance early on. Seemed easier to score than miss.Burge 6 - Caught plenty of balls tonight but don't remember him making a save. 1 customary flap.
Grimmer 7 - Looks a lot leaner than 6 months ago and had one of his better games defensively. Not afforded his usual freedom due to the combination of Nathan Tyson and Jacobson but still had a shot saved off the line.
Willis 6 - Mixed bag tonight. Covered Akinfenwa's flick ons brilliantly but also made 2 or 3 mistakes that could have been punished on another day.
McDonald 7 - Dealt with Akinfenwa as well as could be expected without ever looking dominant.
Stokes 8 - Few more performances like that and he'll be back to being a cult hero again. Defended well, got forward a lot, in the refs face, in akinfenwa's face
Shipley 7 - Got up and down tirelessly tonight and fired in some decent crosses. He's never going to be a world beater at left wing but gave Stokes the confidence to get forward and did everything asked of him.
Doyle 8 - Actually thought it was one of his better games tonight. Watched the goal 10 times and still not sure what he meant to do but his ball retention was a lot better today and didn't play as many long balls as usual.
Bayliss 7 - He's got that ability to roll or ghost past a man like Maddison had. He's a bit quicker than him but with less skill on the ball. Could have had men sent off for tackles on him and drove the team forward at times. Exciting prospect.
Vincenti 7 - Looked neat and tidy on the ball, good defensively and a lovely assist for McNulty's first. Hope he's not too badly injured.
McNulty 8.5 - Did fuck all tonight. Apart from score a great goal, win and score penalty and spurn a great chance for a hattrick by diving. In between that a few good runs and not much else. Clinical. And was still running his nuts off at the end.
Biamou 5 - Missed an absolute sitter after 5 minutes. His worst yet. I want him to come good, I really do, but he's so devoid of confidence now that he needs to sit out a couple of games and come on as sub.
DKE 5 - Just don't know what his natural position is and think that will impact his longer term career. Gave away a needless pen by getting his arms up on the shoulder of the attacker.
Duck 6.5 - Not on for long but long enough to set McNulty through 1 on 1 with a great pass, beat 3 players and have a shot saved and run up a couple of absolute blind alleys instead of retaining possession. A classic Duck cameo.

NickBurge - 6 - The old burge sneaking in.
Stokes - 8 - It's the Stokes of old, has been practising his fitness and crossing.
Willis - 7 - Was a big battle for him, lost most headers but was a big challenge
McDonald - 7 - Same as Willis
Grimmer - 7 - Much better game going forward, looks fitter
Vincenti - 7 - Was having a good game, nice touches and passes and a good ball for McNulty
Bayliss - 8 - Extra point because it was his second game and he didnt stand out as a kid, drives the ball forward which we lack.
Doyle - 7 - Didn't stand out, usual Doyle but jammy as anything with the goal!
Shipley - 6 - Whipped some good crosses in
Biamou - 5 - Usually I give him higher because he holds it up, wins headers etc. Didn't do any of that today.
McNulty - 8 - Would have been 9 if he smashed that chance in, he seems to be on a different wavelength making runs. Would have liked to see him play alongside Andreu.
DKE - 5 - Didn't do much, wrong change.
Duck - 6 - Outstanding pass to put McNulty in but not much else, again he didnt look that switched on sometimes
Shows what happens when we win and play pretty well. When we lose we are all looking for someone to blame.For a change a consistent set of ratings from everyone.
Or maybe telling the truth and not glossing over things?Shows what happens when we win and play pretty well. When we lose we are all looking for someone to blame.
