At this level no goalkeepers are really that good/consistent. One of the best is probably Patterson for Sunderland... And I'm sure there would be a meltdown on here if Wilson or Collins had let that 3rd goal in.
Collins ….7.5. Steady eddy
Van Ewing …8 superb recovery pace
Thomas…8. Good game yesterday
Kitching….8. Making great progress
Bidwell….7.5. Dependable as ever
Allen….5. Still on the club night out
O’Hare 7.5. Getting better , plus another goal
Saka…..8. On his way to be player of season
Wright 6.. needs to work harder
Simms. 5… totally uninterested
da silva …. 6. No real time on pitch
Palmer….7 a great cameo , plus goal
Eccles. 6.5. At last , a quality corner
Godden….6. Nice new boots
Unfortunately missed most of this game (cry) due to “Christmas shit” but I’m just wondering what happened to Sheaf for him to come off at 42 mins? Did Lati play at CM instead of Sheaf when he came on? Was he any good? Just thought Lati may be a good Sheaf replacement for when we need him but just wondering how he got on.
Have to agree with this...can't say he looks much of an upgrade save-wise (if at all).
His kicking is a worry though.
At least once every match, he miskicks a pass straight to an opposition striker/attacking midfielder.
We haven't been punished for one of theses miskicks YET.

Don't get the Wright comment.
Thought he put a shift in, was heavily involved in the goals including fighting off o'nein who was trying to wrestle him to the ground in the build up to the first.
Would have been easy for him to stay on the deck and take the free kick.
By staying on his feet and keeping going he swung the game in our favour.
And when we go short, by the time we reach the point that a long kick reaches, we have usually lost the ball anyway, so there is no actual difference. Playing from the back is also very predictable and easy to counter. It only works imho if the goalkeeper releases very quickly catching the opposition too far forward. See Liverpool. Collins and Wilson take an age.
