Shows we have a decent GK to me. Doesn't have a lot to do some games then pulls off good saves.Keeper 7 still not sure if he’s that’s good as never has much to do
Did you miss that save marosi made at 2-1?Keeper 7 still not sure if he’s that’s good as never has much to do

i would disagree with 8 for Westbrooke, thought he struggled a bit today. Didn't think he had a bad game just didn't play as well as the other midfielders.
Was walsh i thinkYeah def not his sort of pitch that one but think it was his cross for the all important first goal
Rose suspected for their first goal?Marosi 8 one or two great saves and some good professionalism going down with the head injury
Dabo 6 caught on the wrong side for the pen
Rose 6 suspect for their first goal, again in that spell early 2nd half
McFadz 8 solid, won a lot in the air
Hyam 7.5 pretty good today
Mccallum 7 their right back gave him a hard time but he was great, looks a class above with his first touch and awareness
Kelly 7 picked up a lot of second balls, uses the ball well
Walsh 7 very tidy, always has the right idea but occasionally sloppy in the execution
Westbrooke 6.5 neat and tidy as ever but struggles against the more physical teams at times
Shipley 7 times his runs very well and his finishing is top drawer
Godden 9 excellent spin off his man for the first goal and good centre forward play all day, should have had 4 or 5 really

Baka 7 good work for the 3rd and helped settle us
O'Hare 7.5 some naive decisions but he's a class act, involved in both goals

Dont get many anywhere was a debate on talk sport how the percentage of headed goals has dropped dramatically.Your right it was. Great to see a headed goal too, we don’t get many these days
Isn’t the point of player ratings to rate a player over the full 90?
It is still their first goal even if it is the only one. I'll give you half a mark for effort thoughRose suspected for their first goal?
How many did they score?
12/10-12?

Godden must be oozing confidence now, bet he can’t wait to get out on the pitch. Hope he stays fit!
All in all incredible performance today. I think Marosi it’s absolutely class! Fantastic save today and the defense must be so confident with him behind them.
Only couple of watch outs I had today are:
- I think every game for the last 5 games I’ve seen Westbrooke bottle at least one 50:50. To start with I thought he was really slow but having seen it that many times now I now realize that he didn’t want to get there in time and get stuck in. This is a mental thing it’s just bravery so not sure how this can be changed? Can’t remember if it was in the build up to their goal or to the penalty today but it shows it can be costly. Anyone else notice this or have a dreamt it?
- Dabo. He’s hands down my favourite player but Jesus Christ he can be absolutely rogue. There are moments of madness like the penalty today (soft or not...what are you thinking lad), but also decision making sometimes when we are under pressure and he has about 3 people on him and he tries to dribble or skill move his way out of it. I guess the confidence is a good thing but with experience he needs to learn when to just hoon it out or pass it back to the keeper or something.
Absolutely buzzing though it’s crazy how much better your day is when city perform like that
Westbrooke still hasn’t been offered a new contract despite playing nearly every game this season and Robins said recently those out of contract need to “earn it”. He does have a 1 year extension though but I think Robins is looking for more from him before he offers anything long term.

I've been saying that Westbrooke is terrible out of possession all season. Shipley is not much better although he has improved on it this season. It tells when you are under the cosh. Also going forward in possession it will cost him and us goals if he's not brave enough to challenge for 50/50s in the penalty area.Godden must be oozing confidence now, bet he can’t wait to get out on the pitch.

Hard to be too negative with a player who’s scored 6 and assisted for 5 this season is 20 odd games. So much more effective than anyone thought possible"Shipley 7....tired badly..started very well."
Is it me, or does Shipley have poor fitness levels and stamina? Always seems done by around the 60-70 minute mark? Then the sloppy passes really kick in
