Why have you given an “anonymous” player a 6? You think Godden’s was an above average performance today? What does someone need to do to get a 1, 2 or 3 rating?Wilson - 6: as soon as I was about to turn to my dad and say how solidness was looking he did something dodgy (I forget exactly what). Solid enough, but still has a bit of mental in him that worries me. Some good game management today though.
Doyle - 7: Like him a lot. Looks more confident and not as out of place as I’d think on the right. Can see he’s got a future ahead of him.
Fadz - 7: Good Fadz. Cleaned up, marshalled the defence well, threw himself at everything. Absolutely vital with the two inexperienced players alongside him.
Panzo - 7: The odd mistake like the others but excellent on the ball and showed some really nice foresight and controlled clearances. Is improving his awareness which was a worry early on.
Dabo - 7: Was better, got an assist, but still some horrific final balls. Will play a lot worse.
Allen - 7: One of his better games. Far less effective when Eccles came on but looked much better at CM than AM. Quality ball out to Dabo that TBH I doubted he had in him.
Sheaf - 5: Poor. Gave the ball away a couple of times, not as effective in the tackle, looked more like Sheaf of early last season. Hope it’s just a blip as he’s had a good season.
Bidwell - 8 (MOTM): Solid defensively, puts a good ball in, takes the piss with where we take throw ins from. A good solid experienced Championship player. Looks completely different from last season.
Palmer - 7: Closed down really well, holds and uses the ball well, really should have had two goals today though. Everyone knows you aim right from that distance, hasn’t he been watching Kick For Cash?
Godden - 6: Anonymous mostly, too slow to make an impact and only really useful when you’re dominating the ball like first half. Would’ve put Tavares on as Middlesbrough started playing very high second half.
Gyokeres - 8: Well taken goal, got absolutely nothing from the ref despite seemingly having been entered in a wrestling match rather than football. Can be selfish at times, but so are all good strikers.
Eccles - 6: Barely noticed he was playing TBH.
Waghorn - 6: Ran about well enough.
to be fair he worked very hard and won most of his aerial duels against a much taller defender.Why have you given an “anonymous” player a 6? You think Godden’s was an above average performance today? What does someone need to do to get a 1, 2 or 3 rating?

Steve Martin - Ref 2. Comedian by name, this bloke was fucking atrocious, along side his shit Lino on Tesco side, neither of them called the numerous fouls and the one where there defender tripped himself up then gave them the decision was a fucking joke.
What are the rules on a drop ball now? Cos I think he was totally wrong giving their keeper the ball after the free kick that felled Crooks, surely we should have had it in our half.
Agree with those marks except i would give Allen a 7. Possibly even a 7 for Eccles who i thought played really intelligently for the short time he was on and covered for Dabo well. Sensible substitution at the time.Wilson 6

It was sensible and I'm not a huge Kelly fan, but looking forward to his return too as I'd have loved him on for the last 10 mins to steady the shipAgree with those marks except i would give Allen a 7.

What has happened to Sheaf? Hardly involved today and seemed weak in the tackle.

That was a bit dodgy, but I loved his late on shithousing. So many times others do it to us, a refreshing change.Was it when he tried to kick it out and the ball nearly spinned over himself and he then headed it out for a throw in haha?
Saw McFadzean cracking up at that too
Thought he was pretty steady aside from that today

Yeah haha, he went mental at the final whistle too.
Fair play to him, he's keeping Moore out on merit at the moment

Huge 3 points.
Palmer is a player just got to keep him fit. Love to see him and Callum off Gyok
Allen is much better deeper
Doyle and Panzo are very good defenders, Gyok was the gyok of last year
Bidwell again, brill
Happy
Depends if someone touched the ball after Crooks was hit. If no one touched it then Martin was right. If someone else touched it after the ball hit Crooks then the drop ball should have been to us where the ball was last touched.Steve Martin - Ref 2.

How Palmer gets anything less than an 8 is beyond me. His clever passing and flicks were brilliant. Very excited to see him and O’Hare link up soon.
Bit worried about this Vik & Godden partnership. Not working, and Godden hasn’t scored for 4 games. Surely he will go back to the box when O’Hare is fit, and he slots alongside Palme with Vik upfront.

Who else in the box then?We will play the box midfield at Bristol city. That worked so well last year there. Hamer with 2 brilliant assists one for Maatsen who was playing AM in the Box. Palmer has really impressed me. He showed lots of energy and wanted to get stuck into tackles too.
I'm not sure Kelly or Ohare are ready to start as they wernt even on the bench today. Unless its Eccles/Sheaf/Allen/Palmer.Who else in the box then?
