Great performance today - We really looked up for it against a poor Newcastle team
GK - Ankeregen - 7 Distribution generally good and made an excellent save right at the death
RB - Lopez - 8.5 - Second best player behind Bridcutt. Most importantly defended well, but his passing and touch were superb not least his wonderfully weighted slide rule pass for Hoskins goal.
LB - Bridge - 8 Great assist for the first goal and looked strong and composed throughout.
CB - El-ABD - 7.5 Was on the wind up all game but that shouldn't conceal another strong defensive display.
CB - Greer - 7.5 Still don't get why he has been the subject of negative threads, his not standing out like last year but his been consistently good all season.
CM - Bridcutt - 9 - MOTM another stunning midfield display, wonderful goal saving block at 1-0 the highlight of his afternoon.
CM - Hammond - 7.5 Tidy and unfussy, was well disciplined after an early yellow.
CM - Dicker - 8 - Tired in the last twenty which is understandable, but an excellent player. His one of our only players who passes the ball with a purpose, always looking to fizz it in first time and get our attacks moving at a quicker pace. Deserves an extended run in the team.
LM - Orlandi - 8 - I rate him highly and another good display as he feels his way back after injury. Stunning technique for the goal.
RM - Barnes - 7 - As always got through plenty of hard work, held the ball well and looks a lot more comfortable in possession recently.
STR- CMS - 5 - 100% work rate and commitment but nothing really fell for him and he can't really play with his back to goal, which bearing in mind our style his going to have to improve.
Subs
Lua Lua - 7 - Lively but too often makes the wrong choices.
Hoskins - 7.5 - Really well taken goal, like Dicker deserves an extended run in the team.
Crofts - 7 - Maybe should have come on slightly earlier as I felt our midfield was tiring. Solid when he came on.
