Collins 8 - some very good saves, composed, looking to command Van Ewijk 7 - defensively solid in a back 4 which was pleasing Thomas 7 - strong, no nonsense Kitching 9 - some great block tackles and his left peg gives us the option of going long Bidwell 9 - what a difference since he has come...

Some very solid individual performances. Sakamota gives us something that we miss without him. The ability to scare the life out of opponents when running with the ball. Just hope we keep playing the same way second half. So much better with Bidwell as well. Collins looks like he has some...

Needs to transfer some of that confidence with and without the ball into his shooting now. Think he was in two minds when he passed poorly for Wright. Should have hit it at goal across the keeper. Any spill and Wright would have been there anyway.

Collins 7 - not really tested but was comfortable with everything he did. Latibeudiere 7 - beaten a couple of times but their highly rated winger didn't get much change from him Thomas 7 - looks better in a back 4 Kitching 7 - good physicality Bidwell 8 - some good early balls and crosses and...

Bidwell very good again. I hope he doesn't leave in January.

Collins, a composed performance without having much to do.

Think Eccles is finally believing himself. He was everywhere today. Great heart.

Wright stays on and Simms off?? Eh?

What a ball by Godden

I like the physicality of the back 4. And although Collins hasn't had much to do, he looks comfortable with the ball at his feet.

Can Wright be taken off asap please? He looks clueless. Get Sakamota running at them. It would be nice to have a forward that can hold the ball.

Decent starting 11 given the illness in the camp. I wonder how many of those starting are affected and therefore may not be 100%

Hopefully the illness struck early so those that are unaffected will have had time to prepare. If Wilson isn't starting due to illness rather than form, it will be interesting to see if Moore is on the bench or one of the youngsters. If so, he may have not played his last game for us, depending...

If Collins has shown enough in training, then he should be starting v Stoke. Hopefully he is a lot better than he looked in pre-season and cup.

A player seriously lacking confidence previously has really stepped up - Josh Eccles. Just keep him away from set pieces.

Think it will be a relegation battle. Hopefully there are enough teams worse than us.

Da Silva holds onto the ball too long and then often gets robbed or plays a poor pass. Bidwell varies his play and will play it early more often. I think Da Silva has been our worst player over the last couple of months. Bidwell's cameos have been far from impressive but getting 30 minutes plus...

Played in FA cup match today.

Even Moore didn't make those types of errors during his dodgy spell. They are basic. Absolute bread and butter for any professional keeper. Making one is bad enough but back to back games is very worrying. Although today's one didn't lead to a goal, it set the scene for calamitous defending.
