I'll start if I can beat everyone else to the first post....

Moore 6 - didn't have to make many saves. Enjoyed booting it out to his left imagining Bidwell was 15 ft tall. He isn't. Good claim at Jukes feet.

Maatsen 6 - bit sloppy, grafted well enough.

Bidwell 7 - defended very well. Didn't do the other stuff as well. One VERY good cross in 2nd half. Not a wing back.

Hyam 6 - Okay. Not sure why he let that ball bounce to get into a foot race with someone.

Rose 6 - Good goal. For our one of our quickest players he doesn't half get turned easily. Hyam has improved this season. Rose hasn't.

Dabo 5 - Generally pretty poor today, largely his passing very off. Some decent marauding runs forward first half.

Hamer 6 - Only gets a 6 because of one extra point for his corners / assists, and another extra point for no yellow card. Otherwise he'd be a 4.

Allen 6 - Can be a bit of a shadow chaser at times and made that one absolute howler in the 2nd half where he should have just took the yellow card with a cynical foul. Otherwise tidy without being fancy. Seems to be able to pull a pass out of the bag under pressure. Wish he was 6ft tall and 12 stone though.

Sheaf 8 - Despite his goals he was only okay first half. Second half I thought he was brilliant and played much more aggressively and on the front foot.

O Hare 6 - Largely anonymous first half. As Blues tired he was involved more with some decent attempted through balls. Gets an extra mark for the sunglasses, not the tap-in.

Gyokeres 6 - Not anonymous, but had a difficult afternoon against a good centre half. Thought his effort was there as per, but today some of his passes, after putting in loads of graft keeping the ball, were terrible.

Waghorn 6 - Important goal contribution. Let's not mention the finish...

McFadz 6 - Did his job.

EDIT - Kane 6 - Forgot he played, but when he came on I remember him getting stuck in with some decent tackles and bombing forward at least once.

Feel harsh on some of these because we won. Maybe I am? Just seen us play much better and get nothing.

Moore 6 - should have commanded his box better for both goals.
Rose 7 - much better from him, not as sloppy in possession as he has been recently. Defended well.
Hyam 6 - was bullied a bit at times, and didn't deal with the corner that was right in his zone for the first.
Bidwell 7 - dealt with Taylor really well.
Maatsen 6 - didn't really offer much going forward, he still drifts in far too central for me at times meaning we lack with. Worked hard though.
Dabo 5 - a couple of good tackles, but not really at the races today.
Hamer 5 - feel harsh given he had 2 assists from corners, but was so poor in open play.
Allen 6 - worked hard but the game seemed to pass him by.
Sheaf 8 - nowhere near as bad first half as a few tried to make out, and was like a man possessed second half.
O'Hare 5 - right place at the right time to slot in the 4th but probably his worst game of the season.
Gyokeres 5 - 1 good run, but was quiet for most of the game and his short passing in good areas was very poor today.

Kane 6
McFadzean 6
Waghorn n/a

A great win but a poor performance overall. 3 points in the bag is all that matters.

Not ratings, but just felt like a game we had to get through so I’d agree with some of the low scores.

Won 4-2 away. Having a great season with players who clearly have limitations which is why they're with us, so some of the scoring very harsh and not quite sure what level you expect us to be at.

Hamer only just a 6 because of his assists. Looked a bit off the pace today, maybe tired? Put a lot in at Fulham and was very good then.

Bidwell did his job very well. He didn't keep the ball very well though. But then again, neither did Hamer and that's one of the main parts of his job 🤷

I think that's fair enough @rob9872, was certainly a knee jerk element to my scores!

I expect us to be at playoff contender level for all remaining games.

We were brilliant on Sunday, and quite rightly the 8's and 9's were out. Today we were poor, albeit we won, so marks are going to be a lot lower. You mark the performances not the result.

Check the scores v Fulham. Do you think anyone played as well today? It was a very good win, but the individual performances were quite a lot lower

it was more about bid well 7 could have controles the ball better and cleared for first goal second goal kicked ball out for throw in when could of cleared again

He did clear it. Cleared it for a throw in. It was largely not his fault we failed to then deal with that!

Barely even heard Lyle Taylor's name in the first half.

Moore 6 (could have been more decisive for the goals and some annoying chipped passes into touch but did great smothering the ball at Jukes feet)

Dabo 6 (did okay defensively but wasn't a presence going forward)

Maatsen 6 (similar to Dabo)

Rose 6 (no challenge for second goal and got away with it later too but some decent passes and extra mark for his goal)

Hyam 6 (flat footed for first goal though Sheaf was initially at fault. Some excellent headers thereafter)

Bidwell 6 (did well in the main defensively but passing was really poor. Liked his occasional forward runs)

Sheaf 8 (not his best game but 2 goals from getting into good positions)

Hamer 8 (a bit hit and miss but can't fault another two assists and hand in another)

Allen 8 (he is an engine. Does so much work off the ball. Some decent tackling and was everywhere)

O'Hare 7 (just seemed to be looking for free-kicks first half but better in the second and did well following up for the 4th)

Gyokeres 9 motm (he worked tirelessly and hold up and link up play was phenomenal. Great skills receiving the ball and running with it)

Kane 6
McFadzean 6

Do people think we win the game without Hamer today? He clearly wasn’t on top form but his moments of quality continue to make a difference for us.

No not at all. In open play today he was a bit shite though; nothing really came off that he tried.

However, as you say, his delivery was the difference - look at some of Blues later set pieces and corners as an example...

Thought Bidwell was good today. Looked a lot more comfortable pushing forward last 20. Some really nice touches in the box too

well we wouldn’t have won without sheaf or rose or o hare then but other than set pieces he didn’t do well

On a day where we scored three times owing to his set pieces I think I can live with it.

Like the people who moan about O’Hare’s shortcomings while ignoring the great stuff he does for us elsewhere, it’s a weird thing to pick him up on.

not really I was just agreeing with the rating lower than Bidwell today

We have won 4-2 away after being 2-0 down to a team that we always seem to draw against and we have been miles behind for many seasons. I know lets give everyone a shit score because we weren't absolutely as brilliant as we can be today. WTF do people want. I know lets see is we can find some negatives in a really good performance.

It would have been asking a lot to play anywhere close to the level we did a Fulham. However, we scored 4 away from home against an ugly, stifling long ball merchant team. Can’t complain about that

Wasn’t at his best today, but Hamer still the best player on the pitch. Maybe I have tinted glasses on with him because I just fucking love him, but he’s such a talented footballer and his contributions in games are constantly dictating our play. Convinced he will be gone in the summer so preparing to enjoy the last 4 games with him (bookings pending).

Missed the Blues goals, turned on as they were celebrating the second so these ratings are from 40 mins onward

Moore - 6 nothing to do really, came and claimed a lot of the high balls into the box

Dabo- 5 poor today, and not looking good with his injury

Hyam- 6 did well with the forwards but what was he doing when he nearly passed it into his own net

Rose -7 Great header

Bidwell - 6 Steady

Maatsen -6 should have scored

Sheaf - 8 Absolutey brilliant

Hamer -6 Not his best but two peaches of assist

Allen - 6 good energy

COH - 7 made stuff tick

gyo - 6 not his best but such a handful again

Kane- 6 He cannot defend

Waghorn- 6 looked a lot leaner

All 7's to a man. Not the performance we saw Sunday but they seemed to play within themselves and at 2 nil down suddenly woke up.

Moore 7

Conceded 2. Some good takes in the air and a couple of good running out to claim at feet. Makes me nervous when he hoofs the ball upfield when attackers are near. Overall good. Distribution was mixed.

Dabo 7

Not his best game but his marking was good and made a few good interceptions. I’m hoping his injury isn’t serious.

Hyam 7

Some good running out of defence and passing.

Rose 8

Extra point for the goal. Not a commanding defensive performance but did his best.

Bidwell 7

First time I’ve seen him be a threat going forward. Put the ball out for a corner a coupe of times when perhaps a slog up or out for a throw would have been a better option

Maatsen 7

His athleticism getting up and down and back and pressing is impressive. It may go unnoticed but if you watch then you’ll see how getting back breaks up the flow of the opposition.

Sheaf 10

I’ve been a critic of Sheaf. He’s had some appalling games and has dithered and had cost us. Today he bagged a brace and after that was a different player. Best game I’ve seen him in.

Hamer 8

He’s got that x-factor. Corners great and gets the extra point for assist. Not as dynamic as the last match but did well.

Allen 8

I like the way he nips heels and darts around.

Gyok 9

No goal today but he is different class on the ball. Held, chased, ran, caused havoc.

O’Hare 8

Not his best performance but a tap-in and the shades get him an 8

Subs

6’s.

I see you slipping o hare in there like he didn’t drop a stinker
I’m not really sure why people seem to think it was a “stinker” or the worst performance of his if the season. I’ve definitely seen much more frustrating performances from him where it just didn’t seem to be happening.

I think he was a bit anonymous for much of the game today but I think that’s because we were playing a big strong anti football shithousery team (so obviously not his natural game) and we chose to not leverage him at all. Passing was generally diabolical and we didn’t utilise him.

He’s not going to get great scores based on that but not exactly a stinker. When it mattered he was there to score the goal that killed the game off.

5 goal game with every game from a set piece lol says it all and people wondering why we didn’t see more from O Hare
