21/1/23 Championship James McClean (Wigan) 6 Got up and down the left with his usual gusto, provided some decent deliveries into good areas. Will Keane (Wigan) 5 One of Latics' top scorer's least effective games, nothing seemed to stick and touch let him down more than once. Louie Watson (Luton) 7.5 Different kind of contest for the youngster this week, but will be one that is crucial to his development for the Hatters. On a bobbly surface, he still tried to play his own game despite being closed down quickly, as he had to dig in and do the dirty work up against some physical opponents when Wigan had their spell of pressure. Off for Campbell just after Town moved 2-0 in front, but his start shows Edwards has real faith in him. League 1 Jordan Shipley (Shrewsbury) 8 Scored with a wonderful curling effort at the end of the first half. Offers such a threat going forward and could have had a few more. Great afternoon. Killian Phillips (Shrewsbury) 7 A quieter afternoon for Phillips, who has enjoyed a very positive start to life as a Shrewsbury player. 22/1/23 Premier League Nathan Collins (Wolves) 6 The scoreline would have been much worse had it not been for Collins. He made two vital clearances from underneath his own crossbar in the first half and was the pick of the Wolves defence. Championship Darragh Lenihan (Middlesbrough) 5 Difficult game to return from injury for. Carrick highlighted the threat of Amad Diallo beforehand and Lenihan struggled to cope with his pace and running in behind. Scottish Cup Aiden McGeady (Hibs) 8 Always looked threatening, had the beating of James Hill and delivered the ball into dangerous areas. Faded a little as the game went on. 24/1/22 League Cup Gavin Bazunu (Southampton) 6 Off his line sharply to punch clear a dangerous Kieran Trippier cross into the box on 16 minutes. Couldn't do too much about Joelinton's goal thanks to Isak's excellent cross. Allowed Isak to get round him late on before the striker hit the side netting. League 1 Richard Keogh (Ipswich) 7 Into the side for just his third league start for the club, alongside George Edmundson, and was solid throughout. He was good on the ball, walking it out and beginning attacks and did what was needed to keep Cole Stockton quiet throughout, as he did in the away game. Marcus Harness (Ipswich) 6 Some neat touches from the attacker as he stepped off the bench and tried to create for his side. Dawson Devoy (MK Dons) 6.5 Was given a bit more attacking freedom and got into some good positions in the first-half especially. Jason Knight (Derby) 6 Couldn't fault his energy, but Vale made life difficult for Derby in the middle of the pitch and he couldn't quite influence the game as he would have liked. Conor Hourihane (Derby) 6 Created a terrific chance for David McGoldrick after a delightful touch and the striker should have scored his first goal away from Pride Park this season. Was subbed in the second half. David McGoldrick (Derby) 7 Should have scored when he was picked out by Hourihane but made amends with the equaliser which he gleefully stuck away to score his first goal away from home this season. James Collins (Derby) 6 Plugged away up front. Tony Springett (Derby) 5.5 Came on at left-back and had one or two neat touches. |

Thanks again for this.
Ferguson is sure to start but Brady left wing back might ensure some nice deliveries into him so good to see Brady supplying for his club. Midfield and Ferguson's partner are less clear at present. Obafemi and Parrott have time to play themselves into contention (assuming Obafemi gets a move). Cullen, Molumby, Knight are surely the midfield combo and Hodge and Hendrick are unlikely to shift one of the two former names. Knight hasn't got many goal involvements for Derby (1G and 2A in 20) which is disappointing at that level. What of a Finn Azaz Championship transfer in the next week and a few games there earning him a shout? Unlikely I suppose. I still feel for all his hustle and bustle and good play that Knight needs to be threatening more for goals, otherwise the pressure falls entirely on a front two.

17/1/23 FA Cup Kevin Long (Birmingham) 7 No-one played particularly well in the first half, Long didn't do too badly, certainly better than on Saturday. Defended reasonably well against League One opposition and was in the right spot to claim an unlikely goal. Scott Hogan (Birmingham) 5.5 Another who just didn't seem that engaged. Totally peripheral in the opening 45. Had a chance at the start of the second and looked generally brighter after the reshuffle. Ryan Manning (Swansea) 7 Put in some brilliant deliveries from the left and gave Swansea more of a threat. Max O'Leary (Bristol City) 7 Called into action twice in the first half. The first to comfortably deny Ntcham before springing to his left to deny Vyner's sliced clearance. A smart save to stop Latibeaudiere from distance. Had no chance with the Swansea equaliser. Brilliant goalkeeping in the 120th minute to come out to claim a cross. Mark Sykes (Bristol City) 7 Struggled to get forward in the first half with most of City's attacks coming down the left side. Made a couple of important tackles inside his own area. Grabbed his third in two games with a great run into the box before smartly finishing beyond Andy Fisher. Never stopped running throughout. Louie Watson (Luton) 7.5 Big night for the youngster as he was given the responsibility of the holding role, always wanting the ball and happy to receive it in tight areas, more often than not spinning out of trouble to get Luton going with some neat passing. Got stuck in as well, as there were no cramp issues this time, only taken off when Luton had got their noses in front at the death. James McClean (Wigan) 6 Produced a superb goalline clearance to keep the scores level shortly after coming on. Will Keane (Wigan) 6 Had a couple of half-chances that were quickly snuffed out. Nathan Collins (Wolves) 6 There were a few moments when Collins and his defensive colleagues were fortunate in the first half, but they improved after the break. Collins looked to get Wolves moving forward with quick distribution from the back. Joe Hodge (Wolves) 5.5 Wolves lost the midfield battle in the first half and Hodge paid the price at half-time. The 20-year-old wasn’t able to disrupt Liverpool’s flow during a chastening 45 minutes. Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool) 7 Rarely had a save to make but confident with the ball at his feet. 18/1/23 FA Cup Joel Bagan (Cardiff) 2 Had a nightmare. Every pass he hit seemed to go awry, he slipped at crucial moments and attackers glided past him. Scottish Premiership Liam Scales (Aberdeen) 4 Not a good night for the Irish defender. Handled inside the area to allow Shankland to add a third from the penalty spot, and in general struggled to cope with crosses and balls into the area. Jonny Hayes (Aberdeen) 5 Veteran Hayes has proved to be a useful player off the bench in recent matches, but failed to do anything meaningful in a rare start in what was a shocking night all round. Replaced by Besuijen less than 10 minutes into the second half. 20/1/23 Championship John Egan (Sheffield United) 7 Up against one of the division's most prolific strikers in Oscar Estupinan, who already has 12 goals to his name - a third of Hull's tally so far, but Egan handled him well and the Hull forward got little change out of the Republic of Ireland international. A great interception 10 minutes from time kept the visitors at bay. Sean McLoughlin (Hull) 5 Never looked comfortable with the pace and skill of Sheffield’s attacking line. Cyrus Christie (Hull) 6 Steady away down the right. Moved deeper in the second half and looked slightly more comfortable. Aaron Connolly (Hull) 7 - Star Man Arguably City’s brightest at Bramall Lane. He looked bright on the ball and looked to make things happen. Josh Cullen (Burnley) 7 West Brom caused issues in first quarter but the midfielder's calming influence helped Burnley gain control. Dara O'Shea (West Brom) 7 There were some nervy moments for O'Shea, when attempted passes out from the back saw him run into trouble, but generally he and Pieters did their jobs as well as they could - for a large part of the second half Burnley resorted to long balls and that suited O'Shea down to the ground. Jayson Molumby (West Brom) 7 His all-action persona and selfless hard work is much admired by supporters. Won crunching tackles, often starting Albion attacks. Won important headers in his own box, too, and might've scored Albion's second when forcing a low save out of Muric. 21/1/23 Premier League Evan Ferguson (Brighton) 9 - Star Man Tasked with getting Brighton back in the game... AND THAT HE DID. The lad is class. Estupinan floated an inviting ball into the box and Ferguson, the only Albion shirt in there up against five Leicester shirts, directed a pin point header past Ward, on to the far post and in. Proper striker! Gavin Bazunu (Southampton) 5 Rushed out to meet Jacob Ramsey in the first five minutes and managed to clear both the ball and the player. Looked nervous with some of his actions and played some wayward passes that put Saints under unnecessary pressure on several occasions. Seamus Coleman (Everton) 6 Much more withdrawn than the first half against Southampton, the captain was disciplined in keeping tabs on West Ham’s creative talents even if other team-mates weren’t but made way at half-time as the visitors chased a two-goal deficit. Championship Kevin Long (Birmingham) 5 Poor at Bristol City, picked up at Forest Green but once again struggled against Championship opposition. A weak header contributed to the Ledson goal, he looked slow on the turn and is still some way short of match sharpness. Subbed on 62 minutes. Scott Hogan (Birmingham) 5.5 Had one half chance in the first 45 but got under Colin's cross and directed it over. Should have gone with a first time shot from Deeney's header down. Alan Browne (Preston) 8 Started brightly and never really looked back. Was positive in his play and took his goal really well. Carried out his defensive duties all game - further evidence he is more than capable at right wing-back. Robbie Brady (Preston) 8.5 - Star Man Back in the starting lineup and justified his selection. His crosses led to both goals and he showed his experience throughout. Made the right decisions, worked his socks off and put in some crucial tackles at the back. Tom Cannon (Preston) 7 Occupied centre-backs and was always on the move. Battles away up there and gives you everything he's got. His header back across goal led to the opener. Encouraging display. Troy Parrott (Preston) 6 Put himself about, pressing defenders and making runs into the channels. Max O'Leary (Bristol City) 6 Wasn't tested in the first half with Blackburn barely creating anything going forward. Had no chance with Dack's opener from close range. Safe hands from crosses but kicking wayward on occasions. Mark Sykes (Bristol City) 5 Didn't have much of an impact in the first half and looked a little off-sync with George Tanner down the right. Looked leggy from Tuesday's FA Cup game and was taken off just after the hour mark. Mark McGuinness (Cardiff) 7 - Star Man A welcome return for the centre-back. Brought everything you'd want including aerial presence and a cool assuredness. Slid in to deny George Honeyman a certain goal, putting it over his own crossbar. Callum O'Dowda (Cardiff) 6 Bombed up and down that left-hand side and really wanted to get forward. Put in a couple of decent crosses and never gave up. Callum Robinson (Cardiff) 6 Always gets into good areas but made so many errors when in important positions. Better after the break, smashed one shot from 20 yards just wide of the post. Jimmy Dunne (QPR) 7 Played well at the heart of defence, winning plenty of headers and used the ball efficiently. Made some important challenges as Swansea pressed for an unlikely winner late in the game. Ryan Manning (Swansea) 7 Put in some good deliveries from corners and linked up well with Ollie Cooper on the left. Had a tough battle with former Swan Ethan Laird who was withdrawn due to injury, but, to his credit, the Irishman chipped in with a number of tackles and interceptions. Jack Bonham (Stoke) 7 A welcome clean sheet for a pretty quiet afternoon’s work when he did the basics. Will Smallbone (Stoke) 8 A much-needed finishing touch with well-taken goal. Had another shot deflected over and made a couple of useful passes. Jeff Hendrick (Reading) 4 Kept things going in the midfield and did his best to affect things in the final third but got very little reward. Shane Long (Reading) 4.5 Glanced a header narrowly wide after a free-kick in from the right. League 1 Conor Hourihane (Derby) 8 The midfielder continues to reap the benefit of the tactical switch in midfield with a sublime finish on the half-volley. So deadly in those positions. Jason Knight (Derby) 7.5 Was always on the move and set the tone for a high-octane performance. Whether it was tackling in midfield, or popping up with crosses from the wing, he was everywhere. Wears you out watching him. David McGoldrick (Derby) 7 Was given the task of pressing Bolton's defence whenever they tried to play out from the back and certainly got some joy. Blessed with a wonderful touch. Tony Springett (Derby) 6 Showed what we can expect as he chased Bolton down at every opportunity. James Collins (Derby) 6 Came on to unsettle the Bolton backline. Dawson Devoy (MK Dons) 6.5 Put himself about but on a difficult pitch, was hard for him to get much joy on the ball. Conor Grant (MK Dons) 6 With Dons playing with their backs to the wall, did a decent job trying to clear the lines. Marcus Harness (Ipswich) 5 Harness produced some good moments of quality during a first-half performance in which his team lacked their usual rhythm. Had a shot fly over and delivered the cross from which Davis was able to head home. Was replaced in the second half. Tyreik Wright (Plymouth) 6 Will take him a little while to adjust to League One after playing for Bradford City in League Two for the first half of the season but he showed glimpses of considerable promise. Finn Azaz (Plymouth) 7 Came up with two assists in just his second game, and first start, since late October after suffering a broken ankle in the home game against Shrewsbury Town. Will only get better the more he plays. Sean Raggett (Portsmouth) 7 Given a new central-defensive partner and the pair looked solid. Did okay covering for Swanson on the right flank in first half but, whenever challenged centrally, was so comfortable. Ronan Curtis (Portsmouth) 7 Very lively upon introduction and Joe Morrell should really have finished off his pass to score at one point. Would have impressed the new head coach. |

Re last entry, I only saw the first half of the Port Vale v Peterborough game on Sky last night but Jack Taylor was the best player during that time in what was a scrappy game on a very poor pitch. Mipo Odubeko played the full game for Port Vale, no rating here, he looked very frustrated in the first half, not getting any service up front and virtually no attempts to utilise his pace.

14/1/23 Championship Andrew Omobamidele (Norwich) 6 Back where it all started after his emergency debut in the club’s second Championship title winning campaign under Daniel Farke. Snapped into an early challenge on Ben Woodburn. Good positioning at his near post to deal with an inswinging corner. Let Delap escape a minute after the interval but Krul came to the rescue. Louie Watson (Luton) 6.5 Given the final 10 minutes as boss Edwards made a late change and looked to get on the ball as much as possible, always finding a team-mate with his passing, but Town couldn't create a clear-cut opportunity. James McClean (Wigan) 6 Another tireless display working overtime up and down the left. Will Keane (Wigan) 7 Had a couple near misses before popping up with his customary goal. League 1 Tyreik Wright (Plymouth) 6 Made his debut for Argyle as a 59th minute substitute for Danny Mayor but as the game really started to open up it was difficult for him to fully get up to the speed of it. Warren O'Hora (MK Dons) 6 Looked solid as usual but suffered a first-half injury that forced him off. Dawson Devoy (MK Dons) 6 Got into a couple of promising positions, but seemed shot-shy when the opportunity arose for him, looking for a pass rather than chancing his arm. Jordan Shipley (Shrewsbury) 7 The pacey Bobby Kamwa got the better of him on a couple of occasions in the opening 45 minutes, but the wing-back coped better after the break. Killian Phillips (Shrewsbury) 7 It was an energetic performance from the midfielder, he got on the end of a few crosses and looks a presence in the box. Scottish Premiership Aiden McGeady (Hibs) 5 Tried to make things happen but often put a little too much mustard on his final ball. Jake Doyle-Hayes (Hibs) 7 Hibs improved in the middle after he came off the bench. 15/1/23 Premier League Matt Doherty (Tottenham) 5 A quiet game going forward but he defended well enough at the other end. Scottish League Cup Liam Scales (Aberdeen) 7 Coped very well with Rangers attack and was doing his best to keep the Dons in the game when Rangers started their comeback. Jonny Hayes (Aberdeen) 6 Had a curling effort saved by Alan McGregor as he tried to find a way to get Aberdeen level but drifted as the game fell away from Aberdeen. 16/1/23 League 1 Jack Taylor (Peterborough) 7.5 Played slightly deeper than expected but turned the ball over so many times for Posh. Also drove forward with the ball well and played some strong passes to get Posh going forward.

Think Christie and McLoughlins 5 ratings and summary is far more reflective of their team performance as a whole today, like what can a striker do to effect a game where neither he or his team have the ball?

14/1/23 Premier League Evan Ferguson (Brighton) 8 Had a good battle with centre-back Ibrahima Konate and while he lost some battles, and had some victories too, he kept plugging away and got an assist for March's second goal. There's so much to like about his all-round attributes, especially for an 18-year-old. Seamus Coleman (Everton) 7 Everton’s captain rolled back the years in the first half with an energetic attack-minded display and although he was pinned back more after the break, he continued to lead by example before making way for Gordon. Gavin Bazunu (Southampton) 7 Held onto the early sighters put towards him by Everton and was let down by his teammates for the opener as they allowed Onana to get a free header on the ball. Stayed composed throughout and claimed several crosses that could easily have troubled him earlier in the season. Nathan Collins (Wolves) 7 Collins was a tad lax in possession on a few occasions and needed to be bailed out by Kilman after being done by Antonio early in the second half. But the Irishman was generally quite solid at the back and dominated Wolves’ penalty area. Championship Max O'Leary (Bristol City) 6 Tipped a decent effort by Jordan Graham past the post early on. Had little chance with Deeney's penalty and likewise with Khadra's goal. Made a good save against the latter when he made a risky decision to come so far off his line. Mark Sykes (Bristol City) 8 Keen to show what he can do in his favoured position on the right of the attack. Started the game really brightly with darting runs forward and grabbed his first goal in City colours with a tap in following Pring's work in the area. Added his second with a similar goal after Semenyo's excellent run. Dispossessed too easily for Birmingham's second. Kevin Long (Birmingham City) 4 Not the start he wanted. Booked for an early body check then caught, arguably fouled, by Wells for the second goal. Overall though he looked like a 32-year-old who hadn't played for eight months, especially when one-on-one with Semenyo. Scott Hogan (Birmingham City) 5 One good piece of hold-up play, which sent Bacuna down the right, was the highlight of an otherwise quiet first 45. As the game opened up in the second half he made a couple of good runs but it was almost as if Blues have forgotten how to harness his movement. Josh Cullen (Burnley) 6 Burnley were overpowered in the middle in the first half Cullen grew into the game in second period. Callum O'Dowda (Cardiff) 6 - Star Man Tried his utmost to get forward from left back but struggled to really penetrate that left-hand side. Much better after the break and tried to take things by the scruff of the neck. He was on hand to smash home late on and it was a well-taken goal. Callum Robinson (Cardiff) 6 Played two really incisive passes in behind the defence. Needs to start next time out. Sean McLoughlin (Hull) 5 A couple of nice pings across the park early on, sacrificed just before the hour as Rosenior looked to go more front-foot. Cyrus Christie (Hull) 5 Like the rest, non-existent in the first period. Was able to impact more in the second half going forward, but still not as effective as we've seen. Aaron Connolly (Hull) 5 Not sure he touched the ball in the first 10 minutes on the field. Dara O'Shea (West Brom) 8 Excellent, defence splitting pass for Dike who duly did the rest to get Albion back in the game. O'Shea was generally very good here, making some crucial interceptions, especially towards the end when Albion came under pressure. Captain's knock. Jayson Molumby (West Brom) 8 He can either stand out and be among Albion's key men (see the entire festive period) or you can sometimes forget he is on the pitch (see Sunderland) but whatever his level of performance, Molumby's attitude is never in question. Brilliant energy and a fine time to slam home his first goal of the season. Alan Browne (Preston) 4 His role on the day was confusing and the captain couldn't get North End going. Tom Cannon (Preston) 5 A tough result to take on debut. Settled into the game after 10 minutes and had a couple of chances over the piece. Kept working away, but to little avail. Unlucky with his chance that hit the crossbar. Should get better with more minutes. Troy Parrott (Preston) 5 A boost to have him back available. Game was gone by the time he entered the pitch though. Robbie Brady (Preston) 5 Another good player to have back. More minutes off the bench but at a dreadful stage of the game. Jeff Hendrick (Reading) 8 Tripled his tally for the season with two strikes in the first half. Took his first goal superbly, drilling the ball home low from 25 yards while he showed great awareness for the second to tap in from close range. Capped an impressive-all round performance full of tenacity and energy. Shane Long (Reading) 7 Made an early entry into the game, replacing Hutchinson after just 14 minutes. Ran his socks off as ever and almost scored with a toe poke in the first half. Had a decent penalty shout early in the second half before being replaced by Joao. Jimmy Dunne (QPR) 6 Had a real tussle with Andy Carroll and relished the physical battle with the former England striker. Made a couple of important headed clearances from two late Reading corners. John Egan (Sheffield United) 6 Positioning was good and came to United's rescue on a couple of occasions by being in the right place at the right time to clear the danger. Jack Bonham (Stoke) 4 Will think he could have done better with first goal and will have nightmares about the second. Ryan Manning (Swansea) 8 The Irishman was a tackling machine and put in so many dangerous crosses from the left flank. Did so well to stretch and claim an assist for Joel Piroe and then put in a brilliant cross for Liam Cullen's fortunate goal. Top shift once again. CJ Hamilton (Blackpool) 7 Dropped back well to help out Husband on left flank when Blackpool defended. As decent an attacking contribution as any Blackpool player out there at Vicarage Road. Andy Lyons (Blackpool) 5 Replaced Connolly in the closing stages. League 1 Sean Raggett (Portsmouth) 4 Nowhere near last season’s form and played Charles onside for Bolton’s opener. How Blues desperately need him back to his best to turn this around. Ronan Curtis (Portsmouth) 5 Disappointingly made very little impact but he was in familiar company in awful team display. Eiran Cashin (Derby) 7 Played an integral role in the first goal as a glorious crossfield pass picked out Nathaniel Mendez-Laing which was a tactic Derby used a lot in the first half. Defended well too but had to come off. Conor Hourihane (Derby) 7 The 4-3-3 formation has allowed the Irishman to get into the box more and here he conjured up a header to get Derby back on level terms. Jason Knight (Derby) 8 Was like a ferret in a Yorkshireman's trousers. Biting, nipping and full of running and you'd love to see his stats from a game in which he just never stopped. He epitomised a high-octane Derby performance. James Collins (Derby) 6.5 Had a shot from distance which cleared the upright, but brings so much to the team in terms of his work ethic. Contributed at the back too and that often gets forgotten. David McGoldrick (Derby) 5.5 Should have scored after Cheltenham scored their second. Marcus Harness (Ipswich) 7 The attacker’s most memorable moment from this game saw him hit the bar after being found in space by an excellent Davis cross. Harness had some good moments in this game and some not so good ones, but was a threat as he looked to turn his man and connected with team-mates well. Paudie O’Connor (Lincoln) 7 A brick wall at the back, a defensively sound performance from O’Connor. Danny Mandroiu (Lincoln) 5 Made a couple of poor decisions and struggled to make his mark on the contest. Olamide Shodipo (Lincoln) 5 Had a couple of good touches on debut. |

7/1/23 FA Cup Jordan Shipley (Shrewsbury) 6 It was always going to be hard for Shipley up against Amad and Patrick Roberts, but he did OK. Roberts did get the better of him on one occasion but Marosi saved well. Killian Phillips (Shrewsbury) 7 Tested the Sunderland keeper from range with a powerful effort and he got around the pitch really well on his debut. Will hope to build from this. Impressive. Aiden O’Brien (Shrewsbury) 7 The striker showed some really nice touches in the opening 20 minutes, and if Salop can get him fit and keep him fit, he could be valuable. Louie Watson (Luton) 8.5 - Star Man Second start in succession for the youngster and continued his excellent form from New Year's Day with a starring role as the deep-lying midfielder. Always eager to get the ball from his defenders, he was able to turn away from trouble, get his head up and play forwards to find a team-mate or switch the direction of Luton's attack. Forced off by cramp but the home fans liked what they saw. Looks a real find. 8/1/23 FA Cup Max O'Leary (Bristol City) 6 Question marks about why he put Atkinson under pressure for the opener when he played it to his feet on the edge of the area. Got a few crucial touches to dangerous crosses from wide positions. Did everything expected of him. Mark Sykes (Bristol City) 7 Tried to get forward at every opportunity and was full of energy and pace down the right side. Eager to take his chance to earn a start in the league. Ryan Manning (Swansea) 6 Happy to keep hold of the ball to draw others in and got forward well. Defended typically well at left-back. Tougher second half as he tired and the hosts went direct. Eiran Cashin (Derby) 8 There were some glorious crossfield passes and in terms of his defending he was reliable and formidable as ever and his partnership with Forsyth is superb. Conor Hourihane (Derby) 7 Didn't get forward as much as he did against Accrington, but he kept the ball ticking over. His role here was more of a facilitator than a lock picker. Assured. Jason Knight (Derby) 8 Never stopped harrying Barnsley which would have delighted Warne who wants a side that is hungry in the press. Popped up here, there and everywhere and was rewarded with a goal. James Collins (Derby) 7 Worked incredibly hard along the front and does the unselfish work so well. Contributed to defending set-pieces too. Rattled home the penalty just before half-time. Joel Bagan (Cardiff) 7 Started shakily but very much grew into it. Linked up nicely with Philogene and Ojo at times. Some signs of encouragement for him. Sent off for a red card on the line, but had to take one for the team. Jack Bonham (Stoke) 6 Had to deal with some heavy handling in a crowded box when defending set pieces, being sent to the deck once. Andrew Omobamidele (Norwich) 7 Adam Idah (Norwich) 5 Scottish Premiership Aiden McGeady (Hibs) 8 First league start of the season and showed how big a miss he has been during his absence. Set up the first goal, and his pace caused Paul McGinn problems all game. Still has that burst of pace, tracks back well to support his full-back and if he can stay fit, will make a huge difference to this Hibs team. 9/1/23 FA Cup Ed McGinty (Oxford) 6 Unfortunate to be beaten three times by a ruthless Arsenal and could do little about Mohamed Elneny’s header. He possibly went to ground too early for Eddie Nketiah’s first goal and could’ve made himself bigger for the striker’s second. 11/1/23 EFL Cup Gavin Bazunu (Southampton) 7 Claimed some early crosses well which will have given him plenty of confidence against his former side. Made himself big when Julian Alvarez raced through at the start of the second half and fired wide. Stayed brave and calm as City's pressure increased, making several key claims and saves. (Joe Hodge wasn't given a rating as he only came on in the 80th minute)

These ratings are helpful too in that they provide a little more context than the posts highlighting errors. Bazunu, McNally and Collins getting 7 or above when their threads have posters piling into dissect goal concessions they are involved in is interesting.
