What a massive, massive win. We did only play well for one half again but at this stage I’ll take it. These are our player ratings:
Rob Green – 9 – Contender for MOTM, purely for how massive that penalty save was. He’s saved us so many points this season. Top guy.
Into the defence…
Luke Ayling – 7 – Worked really hard, was a little sloppy in the second half but overall a good game from him, especially because he avoided a yellow card.
Kyle Bartley – 8 – Very solid game from Bartley, his reaction when he thought he’d been booked said it all, it would be a massive massive loss.
Pontus Jansson – 7 – Didn’t win as many headers from set pieces as he usually does but was still very good, made a few vital blocks and clearances.
Gaetano Berardi – 8 – I seriously love this guy, he’s so consistently solid and I think he deserves to start for the rest of the season, somehow, someway.
Into the midfield…
Liam Bridcutt – 7 – Would have got a better rating because he was great first half but he gave the ball away way too many times in the second half that could have been very costly.
Eunan O’Kane – 6 – I didn’t think he really got into the game, bit of this, bit of that, but nothing of any real substance.
Pablo Hernandez – 5 – I thought he was totally invisible today, it’s a shame because when he’s on top form he’s great but he hasn’t been there for a while. Did have a great nutmeg though.
Into the attack…
Hadi Sacko – 5 – His final ball and touch are a disgrace to be honest, his decision making too. He’s costing us goals and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
Souleymane Doukara – 5 – Never really got into the game today, not too sure why he started but we won so can’t complain too much.
Chris Wood – 9 – My MOTM, took his goal brilliantly and his all round play was top drawer, he holds up the ball better than most in the league.
Overall, a massive result and possibly the catalyst for another unbeaten run. Let me know who you thought was your MOTM in the comments.
Wood absolutly
Totally agree that Douky and sako are not worthy of starting. motm to wood who just pipped green. Ref was poor though.
