Player ratings - Bristol City

[Machiavelli]

Stockdale 7 -- good distribution, especially to Murphy way out left (a good goal kick tactic, that caught them out on more than one occasion)
Bruno 7.5 -- classy as ever
Duffy 7 -- commanding, but at fault for their first attack and conceded what looked like a penalty
Dunk 7.5 -- solid, but both CBs had a lot to deal with with Abraham, who looked the business
Bong 8 -- he really is back to his best
Skalak 7 -- did OK, apart from that sliced shot that he should have done better with
Stephens 9 -- stunned by the low ratings he's been given on this thread, he absolutely bossed the game, and was first to just about everything
Sidwell 9 MotM -- his game experience is extraordinary, and what a simply stunning goal. Has anyone ever scored from so far out with their wrong foot?
Murphy 8.5 -- great game, he just picks the ball up and goes, very direct
Baldock 6.5 -- great harrying for first goal, not too much else springs to mind
Murray 7 -- good lay-off for Murphy's goal, one good run, and good hold up play

Norwood 7.5 -- did well
Hemed 7 -- did OK
March 7.5 -- only on for five minutes but still made two dangerous runs. A good substitution from CH to give him just that bit of acclimatisation.

Sidwell was MOM by a country mile , some very good performances by others , but his were telling tackles and interceptions, his header back showed absolute control and of course the goal. Whilst some performed better than otherrs a good TEAM performance with everyone doing what was expected of them. Pleased for Murphy as I think he has been a bit off recently.
