Agree with all those ratings.O'Brien - 6 - Made a couple of reaction saves.
Mason - 7 - He looked a little bit nervous and didn't want to risk it but grew with the game and put some great crosses in.
Hyam - 6 - Did well and won a few headers
Willis - 6 - Was quite solid, obviously not match fit
Sterling - 6 - At fault for the goal but like Mason grew into the game and got forward
Ogogo - 8 - He was everywhere, like a Doyle but better on the ball. Nice bit of aggression too
Doyle - 6 - When did he start taking corners and free kicks? Tried to do a bit too much, a couple of great passes though
Bayliss - 7 - When him, Andreu and sterling linked up going forward with quick touches they couldn't get near us
Andreu - 8 - Can tell he is going to be a big player for us, was confident he would score from the free kick before he took it.
Hiwula - 6 - Not match fit but did show some great touches, should have really scored. Wasted out on the wing though, takes him out of the game if Biamou / JCH win a header
Biamou - 6 - Some good touches and flick ons but stood on his own with nobody else about way too often
JCH - 6 - For a big unit why doesn't he use it?
Shipley - 5 - Not a right midfielder, him for Bayliss with Sterling behind was stupid
Thompson - 6 - Looked comfortable on the ball
Robins - 6 - Dont think the changes were the right ones, should be getting the wide 2 players to play off whoever is central. When they got the first it was clear they were going for it after their subs. Think the triple sub cost us.
Agree. Saw enough there today to make me believe we will have a good season.I thought mason and Ogogo look quality. Andreu is gonna be great and it seems Bayliss is gonna continue where he left off last year.
However, I think we’re missing some height. We nearly got caught out a couple of times.
I also think Robins got the substitutions wrong. JCH can’t do what Biamou does...and I’m not sure Biamou on his own is going to be enough.
Having said that, I think at times we looked really good and seem tougher than last year. If that’s one of the better teams in this league I think we’ll do alright.
Some players being marked a bit harshly. I thought Mason looked really good aside from a couple of errors. Max was great upfront for me, holding up the ball and getting people involved. Main issue was that he didn’t have players around him often enough. Hiwula also looked promising but out wide isn’t his position.
Lack of fitness showed but that’s to be expected with a shorter preseason and a few players coming back from injury. Squad also needs to gel a bit but some promising signs.

Always amazes me how fans can watch the same game and have such differing opinions on a players performance.
Mason seems to have the fans spilt 50/50

Biamou didn't hold the ball up well at all. He always has to try to do something with it rather than just hold it for support. Also his runs/awareness don't seem good enough. I realise people don't like Clarke-Harris but he offers more for me. He has strength and a presence and can hold a ball up. He also seems to fit this style of football better.Some players being marked a bit harshly. I thought Mason looked really good aside from a couple of errors.

Hanging around with the PL yoot for England u19Not said on here so I might be wrong but Bayliss seemed to dive and look for a free kick every time he was challenged including for their first goal.

Bloke sat next to me stressed that mason had given the ball away “again”. Personally, I thought he was very good...one of our best players.Hardly split. Based only on those who gave him a score, everyone gave him a 7 except one person who gave him a 6. Of those who didn't give him a score, all but one stressed positives i.e. sounds like almost universal scores of 7 to me!
Thought you would 'like' that Grendel !!! Did Max shag your mrs or turn you down ( See, i can be pc too ! ) ......If that overhead kick went in it would be the bestest goal ever ever...O'Brien 6
Sterling 6
Mason 5
Hyam 6
Willis 6
Ogogo 7
Doyle 7
Hiwula 5
Bayliss 6
Andreu 8
Biamou 4

Change of formation or lone striker? i thought Biamou did well today but needs someone around him.Burge Davies Jones and a striker into that and we'll be ok
Sounds very much like my Uncle Kevin who doesn't exist.The bloke I was next to was wearing a tiara; had a tartan blanket, a leather bound programme and insisted on being levered in by stairlift. Hang on a minute...
Or your Perfect Cousin?Sounds very much like my Uncle Kevin who doesn't exist.
