Marosi 7- not much to do in the first half but when called upon in the second half he delivered a great save. Distribution was fairly good but at times did take too much time (or the years of watching Burge mess up made it seem so)
Dabo 5- nothing much to do in the first half defensively or attacking wise as Jobello played too deep which didn’t allow him to get forward but when he did he over hit a few crosses. Poor second half and looked the weak link of the back 4, reminded me of Kelly-Evans from a few years ago.
Rose and McFadzean 7- Both won all arial duels and seem very confident with the ball at their feet. McFadzean did misplace a couple of passes but other than that didn’t step a foot wrong and never stopped commanding the back line throughout. Don’t see Hyam getting back in anytime soon if those two keep it up.
Mason 8- very good performance both defensively and attacking wise. Comfortable on the ball and oozed class. Very good forward runs which occupied the full back and allowed Hiwula to cut in side. Seems to of grown in confidence over the season and with more leaders in the defensive line I can only see him developing further.
Shipley 6- Was a typical Shipley performance where there was moments of absolute class but tried to overdo things multiple times which cost us possession. Nothing really overly negative but I see him being the one to lose his place once Allen is fit.
Westbrooke 7- Took his goal fantastically well. Advanced from midfield very well today with some great link up play with the font line and the other central midfielders. Tended to took out to the right hand side which at times left us outnumbered in the middle but with experience that will leave his game. The similarities between him and Bayliss go beyond their looks based on today’s performance.
Kelly 7- Marshalled the midfield very well and sat back when attacking which allowed the other two central midfielders to advance. Was what we’ve come to expect of Kelly in recent times and is exactly what we need in this system.
Jobello 6- Seemed to lack confidence. Glimpses of what he had to offer in the first half but didn’t seem to want the ball, passed it straight back to Dabo numerous times. Wasn’t involved at all in the second half. Needs to gain confidence ASAP before he loses his place.
Bakayoko 7- Typical Baka performance, won most things in the air but had no support from anyone to win his flick on’s which is to b expected in a one striker formation. See him being sacrificed if a new striker comes in.
Hiwula 7- Flashes of brilliance but spells of quietness. Should have squared it to Baka after rounding the keeper. Good run and composure to set Westbrooke up for the goal. First touch has seemed to of massively improved over the summer.
Eccles N/A- Not much too go from but looked comfortable on the ball and in closing the opposition down, showed some quality and certainly looks like he’s good enough to get minutes throughout the season.
