    Moore 7 (no save to make but his use of the ball with hands and feet was impeccable) Eccles 8 (out of position and lack of experience but unfazed) Hyam 9 (some excellent headers and incisive passing when coming forward. A little spell midway where he got into some trouble hence not my motm)...

    Hyam looks much stronger and a bit quicker than last season. Playing on the right side also allows him to bring the ball out from the back quicker and more accurately.

    Yes. Solid defensively. Created numerous half chances and one golden opportunity. Then some quality finishing to nick it. Work rate was superb.

    Gutsy performance. Loved Gyokeres' celebration! Defence was solid, Allen was everywhere. Massive 3 points.

    Eccles is a very comfortable player. Even when he looks beaten he manages to extend a leg to block. He has done really well considering.

    We did okay. A bit edgy. Back 3 look pretty solid and wingbacks have done well. Gyokeres just struggling to hold the ball. Nothing is going for him and he looks short of confidence. Allen looking most creative outlet. He is having to cover a lot of ground. Many wouldn't agree but I think some...

    I was hoping for 3 points tonight but looking at the lineup a point would be good. However as has been mentioned the Team v Peterborough looked a bit dubious so who knows. I do feel a bit sorry for Rose as he hasn't done much wrong since coming in.

    Might get 2 debuts tonight if Tavares and Reid feature, though I imagine they won't (Reid anyway) unless injuries require. Will be interesting if Dacosta comes on at LWB ahead of Reid if Bidwell tires.

    Looks a desperate bench. Big ask for Eccles at RWB but I wouldn't put it past him doing well. A lot of running for Allen to do!

    Tavares

    Sometimes you don't know if they can step up until they step up. I don't think anyone is suggesting he should be a first team regular. However a bit of pace in the last 10 minutes against a tiring backline may be useful. And albeit weaker opposition, he has shown he can score goals. Not every...

    Ratings vs QPR (h)

    Moore 7 (brave save early on and used the ball well) Kane 7 (wasteful first half but crossing improved vastly in the second and another assist) Shipley 8 (some great one touch pass and move and brilliant goal. Caught a couple of times defensively but generally did well) Hyam 6 (sold himself a...

    And Jones created the space for him to do so with a clever reverse pass. For me Jones has the ability to vary it up a bit. Should have come on earlier.

    Jordan Shipley

    He looks far better at wingback than in midfield. If he focuses on this as his position he may have a future at this level.

    Not great at all there from Bidwell. No challenge.

    Some goal that!! Would be talked about for a while if it was in the Premiership. What a left foot he has.

    9 key passes says a lot about that first half compared to 4 from QPR. Hopefully will put our finishing boots on after the break.

    Another game where we go in behind where we deserved to be ahead. The got very lucky with the double save from Gyokeres. Him and Allen have linked really well. Shame about the finishing. Offensively Shipley doing well. Kane not so. Rose gives some much needed pace at the back which we are...
