Player Ratings

[Stumpy Tim]

What a fantastic day. That's a 100% record for me this season. Seen 1 game, seen 1 win

Roberts - 6, couple of coco moments but also took some pressure off with good catches
Virgo - 9, my MOTM. Nothing came from their left-side & his distribution was excellent
Harding - 8, Another great performance from a teenager
Butters - 7, Solid, won everything in the air
Cullip - 7, Same as Butters.
Hart - 7, New dimension with him on the right & a good outlet
Jonah - 7, Ran his heart out & looked dangerous when given the chance to run
Oatway - 8, Our best midfielder on the day IMO. Never gave them a minute
Chippy - 7, Typical performance - thought we would miss him more when he went off
Knight - 8, ran his little cotton socks off for the team & would be class alongside a better striker
Iwelumo - 6, would have got a 5 but when he actually decided to play in the last 10 mins he was the difference between the sides

Subs:
Reid - 8, this guy looked the part in the middle. Wasted on the right in the two semis
Piercy - 7, Looks a class act when he's fit. Couple of great crosses

I thought that Reid looked superb in the middle of the park yesterday. Anyone else agree with me?

 

[PrestGull]

Roberts 6; Some early catches relieved pressure, poor kicking and a few spills
Harding 6; A nervy start but got better
Butters & Cullip 8; Solid
Virgo 8; Played well, saw a lot of the ball and even his long range passing found one of our players
Jones 7; A good outlet, good first half faded in the second
Chippie 6; A quiet game not much of the ball went through him
Oatway 7; Normal breaking up the game and hassled well, nothing on the ball though
Hart 7; Came to life in the 2nd half, remembered one great cross e put in with 2 platers on him
Iwelumo 6; Really frustrated me but made it up with the run that lead to the pen
Knight 9 MOM; Work rate off the ball was superb, defended from the front and by far our most talented player on the ball

Piercey 7; This guy obviously has footballing ability, one great cross as soon as he came on
Reid 7; Intelligent play, can play one touch and always looked to find a simple pass

 

[Gwylan]

Roberts 6 Flapped a bit, but nothing too much to worry about
Virgo 7 Started off thinking he was Stanley Matthews. One superb diagonal pass
Harding 8 Good solid game. Kept Rougier quiet
Cullip 8 Usual excellent self
Butters 7 Solid in the air but a couple of nasty moments
Hart 8 Kept running and running, Delivered one superb cross
Chippy 7 Hard working as ever
Oatway 7 Really got stuck in
Jones 7 Brilliant in first half but faded
Knight 8 Put in a lot of hard work
Iwelmo 6 Worked hard but his finishing and first touch were woeful

Subs
Reid 8 Looked really good: a midfielder who can pass
Piercy 7 Did OK. One good cross

 

[trueblue]

Roberts 6 some of those "flaps" might have become more dangerous if he'd stayed on his line
Virgo 8 Outstanding. Especially as he was on a booking for most of the game.
Harding 7 Overplays very occasionally but a great prospect
Butters 7 Almost gave me a heart attack but otherwise immense as usual recently
Cullip 8 Great combination with Butters
Hart 7 As reliable as ever, safety first approach hinders him
Carpenter 7 Same old Chippy. Sets tempo for the whole team.
Oatway 7 fully committed as always
Jones 7 Full of running and delivers the occasional top cross
Iwelumo 7 would we have had any attacks without his presence up front? Essential to the way we play right now. Can't understand the low marks.
Knight 8 Still seems to 'switch off' sometimes to the frustration of his team mates, but overall worked really hard, accepted his battering, and is just SO calm with penalties

Subs
Reid 8 Was worried when Chippy went off. Shouldn't have been.
Piercy 7 Has made a difference as a sub in the play-offs
