Agree with most, but could've been different and they ripped us a new one through middle and down left first half. I'd take a point off Eccles, Sheaf and Bidwell and then they're about right imo.Collins 9 motm

Bloody autocorrectTats & Collins 9 . Thomas another solid 8 along with MVE. Banks understandably a bit off the pace.
Excellent second half performance
Can’t agree reference Binks he’s a really good player, upright, good passer of the ball, just takes the ball off players only 22 too.Tats & Collins 9 . Thomas another solid 8 along with MVE. Banks understandably a bit off the pace.

Collins and Thomas kept us hanging in there at half time, Saka deserved a hat trick.

I thought sheaf was good todaySheaf 6? I’ve been critical of his stray passes but thought he was great today. Up there with Saka & Collins for MOM shout
No evidence for that at all. Perhaps 6 is a bit harsh but he looked lost in the first half and though improved in the second gave the ball away sloppily a number of times.Bsb is biased against him
I wish we had someone else to bring on for him. I do feel bad rinsing Godden as he's been a very important signing for us but he really is done as far as I'm concerned. He's invisible.Simms looked decent during the second half, really wish he’d been kept on.
Superb player but at times can be a bit sloppySheaf 6? I’ve been critical of his stray passes but thought he was great today. Up there with Saka & Collins for MOM shout
YepSuperb player but at times can be a bit sloppy
Loved the fact they had a little chuckle about it afterwards.A few real harsh scores for Simms He was good bar his miss. Did very well for the goal. Hadji made the correct decision just as Simms did last match. Great they are both getting in the right places. Bodes well for me, feels like he is at the same point Wright was before it all clicked.
Really hope he makes people look stupid
One sharply taken goal and a gimee headerGot to disagree with some comments here. Collins was in no mans land on one occasion and was saved by Thomas on the line. he also failed to come catch a couple of easy corners and punched out when catching was easier. That apart he made some good saves. So a mixed bag. Score: 7
Thomas is accomplished but was culpable for their headed goal. he was out jumped and failed to get in front of his man. Did that on a few occasions actually. Score: 7.5
MOTM: Sakamoto without question. Energy, quality crosses, defending, two sharply taken goals.
We miss a player that can make those decisive through passes which they were doing first half, cutting us open, Eccles slows us down too much at times, even when he has time on the ball his first instinct is to play backwards that said it was a fantastic TEAM performance from the lads and Saka just a whisker away from getting a hatrick and the ball over the top to Hadji...wow .....e i ei ei eio up the table and all that been a great festive seasonwatch us fuck it up against Oxford
Let's hear it for that lovely little first-time flick that took out two Swansea defenders at a stroke and cleared the path for Wright to surge forward and score.Palmer can do them.
Palmer can rip defenses apart with clever play but he does that very differently than Hamer. It takes more time on the ball for him to be effective.Palmer can do them.
Sheafs too playing It around the corner to Palmer first time with the outside of his foot.Let's hear it for that lovely little first-time flick that took out two Swansea defenders at a stroke and cleared the path for Wright to surge forward and score.
He can do it, but seems not to be able to with sufficient regularity. And I'm a fan
Yeah it wasn't just the passing, it was the ball carrying and surging from deep that we miss. Middlesbrough had it in the first half, breaking through our press and then driving at the back 4 looking for those passes.Palmer can rip defenses apart with clever play but he does that very differently than Hamer. It takes more time on the ball for him to be effective.
Palmer likes to engage people at close quarters bringing people onto him then put the ball through into space. Hamer just had a knack of seeing space and finding the right pass before teams could react. That and his tenacity in winning the ball back meant he could turn games in an instant. We definitely miss that.
Really enjoying Palmer since his comeback he can offer loads, just not in that Hamer role
