Was so impressed with some of Thomas passes into feet and by the control at pace from Ohare wright and especially saka

If he made a good save(s) in that mad scramble 2nd half, +1. Couldn't see from B4.
MvE - 7
Offered less going fwd 2nd half but so good defensively. Such a good signing for us.
Thomas - 7
One wobble 2nd half and a poor pass fwd or two 1st half but he did his job well today.
Kitching - 6
-1 for getting into a dumb situation at the end. Add +1 if footage shows he did nowt.
Bidwell - 6
Didn't look totally at it today. Still think he starts if fit. Want a bit more from my LB.
Eccles - 6
Too indecisive in attack today. Plays more like Sheaf in the middle 3rd than I realised.
Latibeaudiere - 6
Decent, good option in case of emergencies but not an answer in the middle at all.
O'Hare - 7
If a few things had come off - esp. between him and Wright - he'd have been MOTM.
Wright - 7
Faded 2nd half but consistently a good outlet, an assist, and links up well with COH.
Godden - 5
Pressed well. We don't play to his strengths in this system but still offered very little.
Sakamoto - 9
Extra mark for the 2nd goal. Great finish. Like MvE, didn't offer as much 2nd half.
Subs:
Simms - na
No time to judge. Should start on Fri.
Palmer - 7
A bit rusty but great option. Looks fit.
Da Silva - 7
Looked sharp. Helped move us fwd.

Superb: Sakamoto: although he should cut in less, and take his man on more
Good: Kitching and Thomas
Bang Average: Collins, Van Ewik, Eccles O'Hare, Wright, Lati
Poor: Bidwell, Godden
Lets face it bar one sublime piece of finishing in the 89th minute this was a bang average performance against a unimaginative and poor team. The midfield barely functioned; just not quick enough of thought. Eccles (much as I like him) is not up to being the main man yet, O'Hare was anonymous, Lati too lumbering and slow, oh so slow.
Once SW had cottoned on that 90% of the time we pass from the back, they pressed forward (not unreasonably) and there was no plan B - outcome is Collins ends up hoofing out for a corner.
Typical of this curates egg of a performance were van Ewik and Wright both whom were good when they were good and at other times frustratingly really bad.
Our saving grace was that SW were bereft of ideas (even Bannon) and aimless crosses are meat and drink for Th & K.
Thank God for Sakamoto

I know, fair play to hajiHow can you give them the same mark? jfc
Useless, sorry blind faith but come onGodden made some decent runs, some weren’t seen, never stopped harrying the opposition but was largely ineffective
Wright got one assist, but was generally useless for the rest of the game. He has been improving recently with his general level of effort and willingness, but today was absolutely useless for 95% of the match.

Absolute horseshit, him and Saka first half were really good . He tired noticeably second half and isn't as effective playing centrallyGodden made some decent runs, some weren’t seen, never stopped harrying the opposition but was largely ineffective

Playing with confidence and a smile on his face helpsI know, fair play to haji
proving @shmmeee @Martin180 etc wright, he’s really stepped up on the left recently
Good Christmas mate?Playing with confidence and a smile on his face helps
I agree with Saka, he was absolutely class today. 2 goals, dangerous every time he got the ball, fantastic first touch, can beat a player, tracks back, isn’t afraid to get stuck in despite his build, great range of passing with both feet. If only more players were like himAbsolute horseshit, him and Saka first half were really good . He tired noticeably second half and isn't as effective playing centrally
Yes mate , results helpGood Christmas mate?
He’s quality.

Lats did a great job defensively...but like Sheaf and Eccles is not progressive enough to see incisive passes. So frustrating when midfielders get the ball we are so slow to move it forward."Lati was good", dream on. Not quick enough of thought or good enough passer. The problems are in midfield

It's amazing!What did Collins do to justify a 5!!
At least we now know Ben Wilsons username on here.What did Collins do to justify a 5!!
Yeah maybe 5 is a bit harsh but his distribution wasn’t great and was slow to come off his line a few timesWhat did Collins do to justify a 5!!
You're nitpicking mate , he's not the finished article by any means but he is a step up on WilsonYeah maybe 5 is a bit harsh but his distribution wasn’t great and was slow to come off his line a few times
Yeah not moaning whole teams been great last 7/8 games. Didn’t have many saves to make today if any? So judging on his distribution alone and that wasn’t great. Probably a 6 on deflection.You're nitpicking mate , he's not the finished article by any means but he is a step up on Wilson
Agreed, I thought we looked pretty out of ideas and were helped by 2 very good finishesI thought we had little clue how to break down a very poor team today. Surprised at the praise for Lati - would love to see his passing stats as it felt like he went backwards or sideways every single time. Whole team was slow and pedestrian with the ball over most of the pitch. From the starting XI I thought Thomas, Kitching and Saka were the only ones better than a 6 today.
No point having a big squad if we can't chop and change . Wouldn't want to see Lati there to often, especially alongside a similar player in Eccles but he did a good job without being brilliant. Looks a fantastic lad to have in and around the squad and adds cover to a few positionsAgreed. Lati’s passing range is also pretty limited, he’s ok as a stand-in but he shouldn’t really be starting in the midfield 3
I actually thought latis passing was good todayNo point having a big squad if we can't chop and change .
