Wiggy's ratings!

[wiggy]

Flavs 6 nothing too much to do but kicking went unusually wayward.
Che 6 o.k. but looking a bit vulnerable at times.
Eagle 8 put in another solid performance, good to now the 2 oldies are fit and dependable.
Hunt 6 His control worries me at times but adequate most of the time, slightly prefer Jupp.
Barratt 7 Looking a bit dodgy at times but still as dependable in the main and chipped in with a goal.
Gutts 8 got stuck in and sprayed the ball about well, still rather see Smithy given a chance, but can't argue with his form
Elvis J Eel 8 Delivery of free kicks and corners much improved and controlled midfield.
Cole 5 didn't get in game and very lightweight
Gower 4 Still not going round people and is never gonna get stuck in, when he plays like this whip him off!
The Goat 6 never really got in to the game but could strie at any time
Lawson 6 ran around a lot but a bit like above, never really got in to it.

Wiggy ratings that I find more balanced and thought out than I thought I'd ever live to see.

Absolutely spot on with Flavs, Che, Eagle, Gutts, Maher and Lawson.

However I'm not sure about your other ratings. Hunt looked a class act once more. The contrast between him and Wilson couldn't be more striking. Hunt looks so much more secure in defence when people are running at him, his positioning is far better (and he not only covers his own position, but he also covers the right sided centre-half when they slip up) and his distribution is way better than Che's. Yet you give them the same mark.

I agree the wingers were lightweight and not at their best, but they still provided at least as much attacking threat as Lawson and Goater who you give both 6s. I thought our worse player by some distance was Goater who repeatedly failed to hold onto possession (I wasn't sure if he was miscontrolling it or trying to be too clever when laying it off - whatever it was didn't work) and showed little inclination to win it back.
He nearly redeemed himself with a sublime turn but having done the hard part shot tamely wide. I think Goater has a lot to offer us this season, but I think predominantly as a substitute. My overriding impression was that one striker was too old and the other too young.
