Wilson - 4: Felt he could have done better with both goals, certainly the first. Distribution was better but ultimately he was a big part in us not getting three points. Unless Moore is rocking back and forth in a corner still I’d bring him back, if he is then I hope tot god we’ve got some funds for a keeper in Jan.
Rose - 7: Thought he got forwards really well and handled everything at the back. Much improved passing from last game.
Fadz - 7: Would be a six but gets a point for clearing out four of their players then getting up and walking away leaving a scene like Kill Bill.
Doyle - 7: Loses a point as I felt he could have done better with his positioning for the second, gains it back because he was excellent driving forwards first half.
Dabo - 5: Poor before the goal, poor for the goal. Has this really annoying habit of coming short when Rose is driving forwards and just compressing the play instead of dragging a man away.
Hamer - 9: That’s why he’s in the big three. Absolutely ran the game at points, well taken goal, some good set pieces that we really should do better getting on the end of.
Sheaf - 7: Don’t think he was poor, broke play up well and generally used the ball well.
Allen - 6: Hard one to score because he had a really good game and should be a 7 but is just so useless in front of goal and really should have taken the booking for their first. Surprised he stayed on and Sheaf came off TBH.
Waghorn - N/A: Looked lively the five minutes he was on. Gutted for the lad that he seemed to be finding some form then this happens.
Gyokeres - 7: Gets a point for the goal but his inability to pass the ball is getting to me. A few times an attack broke down because he tried to dribble through a mass of players instead of playing someone in. If he learns to pass better all round he’s a Premier League player easily.
Palmer - 8: Two assists basically, could have had a couple more as well. Closes down well and won the ball high up the pitch a few times. He was playing as a second striker so I didn’t expect to see him back on the edge of his own box harrying. Adds a whole new dimension to our attack, some of his flicks through like the assist for Hamer last game are sublime.
Eccles - 6: Their LWB absolutely had him on toast, on the ball he’s good and he’s got a great eye for a good pass, but defensively he’s not a wing back at all.
O’Hare - 7: Won the pen so gets a point, but clearly rusty as to be expected, silly background attempt I think lead to their second. But could be wrong.
Panzo - 5: Caught asleep for the second, I don’t think he won a header all game. Weird decision to take Fadz off unless there was an injury. Him and Doyle together is just too inexperienced.
Kane - 6: Ran about a bit, got forward OK. Would like to see him at RWB next game, but it’ll probably be Eccles.
