March 4 - Not a performance to cherish. Tentative, lacked concentration at times, weak on the ball, delivery generally poor, had several good chances of which one may have bothered the keeper.

Baldock 7
Hemed 7
Not yet wrote player ratings but I would agree with this as the most accurate posted so far, probably bump stockdale up-to 5, and Kayal one up on your ratings...
Disagree on two points:
1) Yes he's brilliant but he wasn't tonight. Made a ridiculous double error in the 1st half and has a tendency to jump in;
2) Unbeatable? We haven't lost yet with Greer and Uwe and, as most do, I think you're underestimating Greer 's influence on our fantastic start.
Anyway, ratings.
Stockdale 7 Didn't have much to do but did it well with the exception of some slightly rogue kicking
Bruno 8 A player reborn
Huenemeier 7 Silly error but otherwise solid
Greer 7.5 Leads the back line so well
Bong 7.5 Very good and lovely surging run for Stephens' goal
March 4 Can't cross, can't shoot. A very good player potentially but currently a poor winger. No confidence in himself
Kayal 8 Influential as usual
Stephens 8.5 Makes everything tick MotM
Murphy 8.5 Lovely cross for Hemed, ran the defence ragged at times
Hemed 7.5 Another goal!
Baldock 7 Lacking a goal but keeps the opposition very busy
Subs
Zamora 6 Held the ball up well and was more involved
Ince 6 Decent but not quite as imperious as usual
Rosenior 6 Not really on long enough
Overall, we were very good for long patches but got very sloppy in the last 10. Still, potential banana skin well avoided!
Ref 4 Some laughable decisions as usual. For example, gave a Brighton throw when Murphy kicked it out, then the Bong foul throw was spot on, but their player then did exact same foul throw!

Agree. I thought it was a patchy performance. Some lapses in concentration but other spells when I was sitting thinking 'but we're Brighton, we don't play amazing stuff like this'. Uwe's reading of the match is incredible - incredibly intelligent footballer. Nurphy looks terrifyingly quick.. An evening to grind out a result against a rough unimaginative Rotherham but I thought with signs of us clicking into a higher gear
Not a great performance for me, very patchy in second half.

Think you've got the ratings pretty much spot on. Although I'd probably downgrade Baldock to a 7.5 just doesn't have presence and poise of Hemed but does work very hard for the team.

So Stockdale got low marks partly because he took a yellow card for the team to win 3 points - unbelievable
Funny how people forget the two silly errors by Stephens in the second half within 15 seconds of each other which could have easily resulted in a goal and the dreadful corners he took most of the match.
Exactly my thoughts about Stockdale. He time wasted which also disrupts the momentum of play. To say that booking was pointless and low score him because of it is quite frankly pathetic

Stockdale 7 nothing much to do, took a yellow for the team - would people have preferred one of the defenders took the free kick instead and got a yellow
Bruno 8 Different player this season, what a tackle in the first half and great shot, although keeper saw it all the way
Bong 7
Greer 7
Uwe 7
Kayal 9 MOM he's like Rocky smashed to pieces all game yet still covers every inch of the pitch and runs the midfield
Stephens 8 Great goal, let down by his corner taking and some lapses in the second half
Murphy 8.5 Some great runs especially the one in the box in the second half with the ball stuck to his feet
March 4 Didn't notice him much of the game but dreadful shooting when we needed that 3rd
Baldock 7
Hemed 8 Took the goal well should of had at least one more, fantastic turn and shot in the second half which the keeper somehow saved

^^ What he said. Uwe DID make a few mistakes, but then he was also very commanding in the most part.
March can only kick the ball with one foot, and when he DOES get a chance, he doesn't really know what to do with it. I know he's young, but that's not good enough at this level – IMO, like.
Thought Kayal and Stephens were terrific - the former is tough as anything. I think that's the third game in a row where he's taken a big knock (or many, in the case of the Forest match).
Overall, I didn't think it was anywhere near the standards we'd set in previous games. Something wasn't right from the beginning, and I thought Hemed's goal almost came against the run of play. A lot of silly mistakes, but we got the job done, which is the main thing.

we bossed the first half so i can't see that (but agreed with rest of your comments)

Stockdale. 6. Effective when needed & no chance with the goal. Some careless clearances again and a daft booking which nearly turned into a sending off
Bruno. 7. Until he tired looked one of the most likely to unlock their defence. That volley was pure class
Greer. 6 would have liked him to take a little more control when we inexplicably panicked at the death but a solid enough performance.
Huenemeier. 6. Rock solid until he lost his man for the goal but one mistake is enough in this league. Love the way he makes players try to run through him
Bong. 7. Excellent going forward and effective defensively. A real bargain
Stephens. 8. Possibly his most effective all-energy performance and a cracking goal but in fairness Rotherham possess the least challenging midfield we are likely to see all season
Kayal. 7. Maybe a fraction off his best but hugely influential in keeping moves going that in the past would have broken down and ended back with our keeper. Missed a great chance with first half header but unlucky later not to get on the scoresheet
March. 5. Unable to impose himself on a limited but deep defence. Not playing with the freedom we know he possesses but hard to come in with little game time
Murphy. 8. Has the confidence born of experience that Solly lacks to come in and grab his opportunity to impress. Lovely quick feet but we missed the KLL cross shot which might have made for an easier night
Baldock. 7. When the goal comes it will open, if not the floodgates, then at least the door to double figures this season. Control and pace make him a real handful creating space for Tomer to exploit.
Hemmed. 7. Another goal (just). Always there or thereabouts and always wanting to find a shot. Selfish is a trait much to be admired in a striker especially when on a hot streak
Subs:
Ince 5 hard to impose yourself defensively on a midfield that the opposition bypass. Felt like the wrong sub when Rosenior's experience and mouse might have helped avoid the self-induced panic that set in at the end
Zamora. 5. Thought he was going to score....... And possibly he should have but the more minutes he gets the more he will contribute
Rosenior..... came on too late to either impact or assess

Can't quite work out some of the very high ratings.
Just shows when you're on a run how things go for you. That performance twelve months ago and we would have drawn probably even lost. Could not believe the mistakes we made and we were very sloppy a lot of the time. How Derbyshire missed that free header early on is beyond me. The last few minutes and extra time were a joke. We were in complete disarray.
However I thought it was one of those dodgy fixtures. After two hard games (on paper) and then playing the bottom of the league then the next few hard fixtures coming up, this was a banana skin waiting to happen. So credit to the team for avoiding it, even if a lot of luck was involved doing it.

Greer was the better out of the 2 centre backs. Some people will slate him how ever he plays

Nope, Stockdale's mark is because he had nothing to do so no plus points from a starting assumption of 5 and I took 1 off for at least 2 awful passes that put us in trouble. I added a comment about time wasting because imho he royally p@ssed the ref off, potentially could have got a 2nd yellow for continuing to do it having been waved on by the ref twice, and led the reg to add even more time. It wasn't very clever.

Stockdale 7- A few dodgy kicks but fairly solid, don't understand why some are moaning at the time wasting.
Bruno 8.5- That volley was outrageous, to pull it out the air like that is top class. generally a step above the opposition like most games this season.
Greer 7.5- Played well, only thing that worrys me slightly about him and BFG is sometimes they are not great in the air.
Hunemier 7- Some great blocks and covers the space well. Bit sloppy with the ball.
Bong 7- Fairly solid, didn't offer much going forward like usual.
Kayal 7- Some great touches but was getting frustrated at the end.
Stephens 9- MOM absolute class act.
Murphy 8- Very good game, set up goal, that run where he basically beat 4 or 5 players was top notch.
March 6- Poor game from Solly tonight, needs a goal.
Hemed 6- Not his best game, but getting the goals.
Baldock. 7.5- Great running off the ball.

Bobby 7- Held up ball well.
