7/10 is fair , played well today ran his bollocks offWilson 6 - didn't do anything wrong, nothing really to do either, so resolutely average! Not his fault, but would rather the keeper ended up with an average mark for just needing to turn up.
Norton-Cuffy 8 - his best defensive performance for us by far. Stuck to his man, was a decent roadblock, and tried to offer an outlet too.Up front didn't work so well, but...
McNally 7 - OK, bit casual at times.
McFadzean 8 - dominant first half, a little less second, but a proper captain's performance.
Doyle 8 - he's come on strong recently, at exactly the right time. More aggressive today, asserted himself and didn't let himself get dominated.
Bidwell 8 - always an outlet, a couple of decent shots, burst forward well, solid in defence.
Hamer 7 - passing on point in the main, couple of times again I can see why he goes for the quick pass to try and set us on the break, it does mean when it goes wrong it comes straight back at us.
Eccles 8 - forget the goal (not really his anyway was it!) but the best performance I've seen from him. Aggressive in the tackle, and his passing was a lot better than lately.
Kelly 7 - solid, been a bonus him coming back and just when a spot of experience to carry us over the line could be crucial. Who knew he had it in him still!
Godden 7 - (awaits the wrath of Evo!).Sometimes good, a couple of lovely turns, a beautiful break and ball to gyokeres who was offside. he and Gyokeres still don't gel though, do they? It's so hard to mark him on a day like today because I can fully see why some might give him higher today. I dunno, maybe I should abstain on giving him a mark! Do think that forget anything else, the first choice, and most reliable penalty taker at the club should be allowed to take the penalty when it comes!
Gyokeres 8 - he does have the uncanny knack of seeming to lose the ball, then come away with it! Brave /selfish / confident to demand the penalty, but it was a really good one at least. He's super-driven isn't he.
MOTM a toss-up between Eccles and Norton-Cuffy, mainly for general involvement in the game. Proper team performance today, though. Even Gyokeres looked to pass!
You scared me enought to mark his original rating up from 6! I just find it very difficult when it's a thankless task really, so it's hard to know if he's dipping out the game because of himself, or because Gyokeres is monopolising, or because we're just not very good at getting the ball to him. We won't get many strikers ever who can do what Gyokeres can and make something from nothing, so he spoils us atm too.7/10 is fair , played well today ran his bollocks off
Everyone was decent but surprised I'm the only one who thinks Hamer was motm. Expected it to be echoing everyone else's view, personally thought he ran the show.
Most pleasing was the workrate from the entire side and Ben Wilson shithousing on that orrible fkr Hannibal.
Bidwell was man of the match - most focussed game for a while - also again Kelly is rolling back the years when needed
The last few weeks Eccles has really come on and looking a really decent player at this level. His best game today, regardless of the goal.
Godden, BNC and Bidwell didn’t seem to stop pressing all game. Kelly really tidy.
Side note, is a long throw something you can coach a player? Once again this season the opposition were using them. Seems logical to add it to our arsenal
Some are naturally better than others, but look at Gunnarson, came from a background of playing "handball" in Iceland. Perhaps get down the local athletic clubs and recruit some javelin throwers!Side note, is a long throw something you can coach a player? Once again this season the opposition were using them.

Was it a long throw thing, or a way to stop people getting on the pitch? Either way, mostly worked!Whoever moved the ad boards closer to the pitch to make long throws harder gets a 10 from me.
Sure I read blues have only scored once this season from one of their long throws so if that's correct it's hardly the potent weapon some are making it out to be
