Player ratings v Reading

[RM-Taylor]

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Stockdale - 6 - disappointing first goal... couple of good saves
Rosenior - 7 - decent performance - enjoyed him winding up their idiots - hope he is OK, that was a nasty tackle
Bruno - 6 - OK
Dunk - 5 - error-strewn, one good block on the line
Bong - 3 - really poor, not helped at all by Skalak

Knockaert - 8 - the best
Sidwell - 6 - OK but doesn't create anything
Kayal - 6 - OK - bright at times - but didn't really dominate
Skalak - 4 - disappointing effort today both attacking and defending

Baldock - 6 - would have been less without the goal!
Murray - 5 - disappointing effort today - constantly muscled out of challenges

Norwood - 6 - OK
Murphy - n/a
Hemed - n/a

Stockdale 6
Rosenior 7
Bruno 6
Dunk 5 - agree with you T, head in my hands again. Time out for tying bootlaces when team hasn't cleared, deliberate hand ball resulting in a booking, lucky not be sent off, rescued by LR following a suicide pass......... First suspension by when?
Bong - 4
Knockaert 8
Sidwell 6
Kayal 6
Skalak 5 - lack of defensive support means he's a problem for Bong, or anyone else playing LB
Baldock 6
Murray 5

Norwood - delightful pass across the face of goal, shame no-one read the intention (and they all realised)
Murphy - n/a
Hemed - more mobile than Murray, was hoping he'd be on 10-15 mins earlier.

Overall - a poor performance I thought: C-

 

[GooGull]

Stockdale 5 (Poor first goal and looked shaky despite superb late save)
Rosenior 7 (Consistent every week)
Bruno 6 (Not as assured as previously)
Dunk 6
Bong 4 (Not been the same since his injury)
Knockaert 8 (Certainly our main threat)
Sidwell 6 (Steady)
Kayal 6 (Not his usual all action self)
Skalak 5 (Head down and charge but where to?)
Baldock 6 ( Goal and assist)
Murray 5 (Didn't get into the game but service was poor)

Norwood 6 (Should have been on earlier against his old club)
Murphy 6 (Made a difference when he came on)
Hemed 6 (Probably should have been on sooner, a great couple of first touches which could have produced something))
