I think the first 3 you mentioned were the best players on the pitch for us .Rapha motm
Brau got into the game more
Bidwell did well
Simms, should have had a hat trick
Please, I said two years ago he was useless and peeps still go on about he will come good, “Plenty of chances and putting one or two away” …he is a effin striker and paid handsomely to be one, so just stop the crap!Agree with the point about it's positive to see Simms involved. He's always going to be clumsy, but at his best he has a knack of getting plenty of chances and putting one or two away.
This.The ironic cheers for winning a header were disgraceful.
It was first round of the "Mickey mouse " cup but his and Andrews debuts were full of promiseWas really surprised how good Rapha was out of posession.
Focused, aware,constantly checking his positioning, especially 1st half.
Raphael will be ahead of Sakamoto within 6 weeks. Saw it here first.
Raphael offers nothing. Get Sakamoto on at half time.
I, BrauAnd I don't care how good Brau is, I'm calling him Irn.
Yes that stood out for me too - good work ethic and switched on.Was really surprised how good Rapha was out of posession.
Focused, aware,constantly checking his positioning, especially 1st half.
On TV , I normally go. He played well. Not his position eitherRapha was class, offered real end product unlike Bassette.
Andrews was a bit disappointing, he tried to hold the ball too much.
Allen put in a shift
Haji getting a little bit fitter
Brau combative but caught out of position a few times in the first half
Bidwell, some excellent blocks & clears
Torp had a good game
Agree with a lot of your ratings and comments but would ask what Sakamoto did tonight that warranted a higher rating than BTA who set up a big chance for SimmsWilson 6 - did nothing wrong
KKH 6 - decent first start
Thomas 6 - couple of poor passes from the back but solid
Bidwell 6 - Not a CB and an accident waiting to happen againt better teams
Brau 6.5 - balance and looks like he can deliver really well
Allen 7 - full of running and did the basics really well.
Torp 7 - good especially in the first half
Andrews 6.5 - looks like he would be worth keeping around the first team and played well
Rapha 7.5 - direct and effective all game. Can he do it against a better defence, time will tell.
Simms 7 - scored the winner should have had another but in the right place and he just needs to go on a run now.
Wright 6.5 - did well and in the second half looked good up top with Simms
Kitching 7 -
Sakamoto 6 -
BTA 5.5
Rudoni 7 - class player, exciting to see his technical abilities and I think there is definitely room for further improvement.
Raphael 7Grendel will now die on that hill as we've seen with his ill-founded judgements on other players
Grendel will now die on that hill as we've seen with his ill-founded judgements on other players
No - he’s had two head down runs and positionally is dire. He will never based on that be anywhere near championship standard. If you think he offers more than Sakamoto that’s your call
Grendel will now die on that hill as we've seen with his ill-founded judgements on other players
Fair comment/challenge, and given there was only 0.5 between them in my ratings, I don't really have strong feelings about either of their performances.Agree with a lot of your ratings and comments but would ask what Sakamoto did tonight that warranted a higher rating than BTA who set up a big chance for Simms
Yeah, Saka was a bit muted last night, he had 35 mins and I don't remember anything remarkable he did.Agree with a lot of your ratings and comments but would ask what Sakamoto did tonight that warranted a higher rating than BTA who set up a big chance for Simms
