First XI
Haven't seen one yet so here we go.
Very good performance, was Lambert even on the pitch??????
Dervitte looked a good signing and Bazza is good at LB because it allows him to bomb forward. Unfortunate for Herd to be dropped but the correct decision by Tilly.
Also correct in playing Dougie over Barney, which I did question at the start.
My ratings:
Mildy - 8 - Good save and strong with everything.
Sankofa - 8 - Best I've seen him. Good going forward and strong at the back.
Dervitte - 8 - Excellent debut. So composed for a youngster.
Clarke - 9 - MOTM - Was the league's top scorer really on the pitch?
Barrett - 7.5 - Half a point off for the near game-costing error in second half, but will be a real asset at left back.
Francis - 7 - Good delivery. Didn't beat his man as much as he'd have liked and could have made more forward runs to support Dougie.
Macca - 7 - In and out of the game. Our best spells came when he was in it, will get better with fitness.
Christophe - 8 - Broke up play and even used possession well today, the min criticism of his game in recent weeks.
Moussa - 7 - That 7 shows how far he's come in recent weeks. Would dearly love to see him influence game more by playing in middle. Great feet, what an asset he's going to be at this club. Wanted to see a bit more of him today creating.
Robinson - 8 - Having a pacy frontman stretches the game and allows everyone else to play football. Did it perfectly today, shooting needs some work though.
Freedman - 7 - Wasn't actually his best game today, probably because just coming back from injury but when he got his chance he took it with all the composure you'd expect.
SUBS:
Barney - 6 - had a frustrating time.
Scannell - no time.
REF - 0 - Doesn't even get one for turning up - lost that for his REF1 registration plate.
