Queens Park
Stockdale - 7 - one great save, could do nothing with the goal. Little to do
Pocognoli - 7 - solid and comfortable
Bruno - 8 - influential going forwards
Dunk - 8 - assured
Duffy - 8 won everything in the air
Sidwell - 8 - decent game, broke up play well and busy around the box
Stephens - 8 - welcome back
March - 9 - MOTM. Superb
AK - 8 - quiet at times but still got two assists
Baldock - 7 - pleased he got his goal
Hemed - 8 - justified his selection

Kayal - 6 - still not quite match sharp
Murray - 7 - great cushioned header
Akpom - 7 - lively. It looked like they were trying to tee him up at times

Stockdale 7.5 -- one cracking save, excellent distribution, assured. PotS so far.
Bruno 7.5 -- getting back to his best; I do worry a tad about his pace
Duffy 7.5 -- excellent game, marked down half a point for that bizarre header near the end
Dunk 7 -- solid, welcome back
Pocognoli 6.5 -- good enough
Knockaert 7.5 -- flair, did some brilliant things, but he still does too much at times
Stephens 7.5 -- welcome back, we're so much better with him in the team; he makes things tick
Sidwell 8 -- sharp, multiple interceptions
March 9 MotM -- simply sublime
Baldock 6 -- took his goal well, good movement and pace, poor control at times
Hemed 8 -- great finishing, led the line well

Murray 7.5 -- a goal in 23 mins isn't bad
Akpom 6.5 -- lively, should have put that chance on target
Kayal 7 -- used his body well, glad he got some game time

Stockdale - 7 - one great save, otherwise unoccupied really
Pocognoli - 7 - decent, although his gung-ho tackles worry me a bit
Bruno - 7.5 - getting back to his best
Dunk - 8 - assured
Duffy - 8 - won everything as usual
Sidwell - 8.5 - MOTM for me. Right at the heart of everything we did that was good.
Stephens - 8 - welcome back
March - 7.5 - poor first half but much better second
AK - 8 - it's obvious he's been told to cross it more. It's working.
Baldock - 7.5 - showed how much we miss him, always stretching play. Another goal.
Hemed - 8 - deserved a start and did well

Kayal - 6 - grew into the game after a shaky intro
Murray - 7 - another good header
Akpom - 7 - looks strong and quick, think he'll be very useful to us

Hughton - 8 - fairly comfy day at the office. Triple substitution knocked out of our rhythm a bit but can see why he wanted game time for the subs and at 3-0 up it was safe

Stockdale - 7 - Not much for him to do. One good save - no one would have saved the freekick
Pocognoli - 7 - I like him - would like us to sign him up
Bruno - 8 - He was awesome today. Back to normal - wonderful to watch
Dunk - 7 - Solid as always
Duffy - 7 - Assured
Sidwell - 8 - Really good performance, dominated in midfield and kept us on the front foot
Stephens - 7.5 - great to have him back - a couple of wonky passes in the first half, but got better as the game went on
March - 8.5 MOM - Gave them nightmares in the second half.. Unplayable for 25 minutes
AK - 8 - it's obvious he's been told to cross it more. It's working.
Baldock - 7.5 - Welcome back sir! Nice to get nback on the team sheet and get the team winning again
Hemed - 8 - He just can't stop scoring at the moment. - Deserves the starting berth (although I'd rather we stared with Murray at home)

Kayal - 6 - glad he got a run out - hopefully he will be back up to speed soon - Glad we have Sidwell in reserve though
Murray - 7 - His record at the Amex is incredible
Akpom - 6 - Should have scored - looks a decent addition to the squad

Sidwell MOTM - the only player who was consistently good over the full 90-plus minutes. Makes the decision to start Norwood in tough away games even more baffling. Hey ho. Roll on Tuesday (& c'mon the Wolves!).

think I would go with this one Sidwell did so much work and was my MOTM

Baldock scored but I would probably give him 7 if Hemed was 8 scored but .....

Thought we should have done far better today. Burton were there for a whipping but we didn't push home our advantage. Far too pedestrian at times, particularly in the first half when it seemed as though the game was being played at walking pace. Need far more urgency in our game. And Chris, if you want to make three substitutions at around the same point in a future game, please do not make them all at the same time. We looked really disjointed for a while as the subs figured out where they were playing ... and it was two minutes after the substitutions that Burton scored.

Stockdale 8. One excellent save. Distribution mostly good. Commanded his area well.
Bruno 7. Better than his last couple of games as he gets back to full fitness. Some great stuff along with a couple of heart-in-mouth moments.
Dunk 8. Played well ... and no yellow!
Duffy 8. Another great game.
Pocognoli 8. Good game both defensively and going forward.
Stephens 7. Good to have him back, but gave the ball away a few too many times.
Sidwell 8. Excellent.
March 9. Good first half, superb second. Getting close to his pre-injury form. MOM.
Knockaert 8. Some great stuff including some excellent crosses, but still a tendency to hold on to the ball too long on occasions.
Baldock 8. Great to have him back. Well taken goal and loads of running.
Hemed 8. Good goal. Maybe a bit lucky with the penalty. Held the ball up well.

Subs:
Kayal 6. Not back to his best yet.
Murray 7. Very well taken goal and overall strong display.
Akpom 7. Looked bright. Could have scored. Would like to see more of him.

Everyone giving 7s and 8s again! I'm surprised at you [MENTION=16399]pb21[/MENTION]. Yes we did what we needed to do and I'm not at all dissapointed, but with these scores you'd think we were playing Peterborough away under Poyet again. The average score today should be around 6 I reckon, with a 7 for Sidwell, Hemed, Knocky, March and Duffy. Am I watching a different game to everyone else?

Agree with your summary at the start then the scores make them sound like Brazil.
