He was very bad against Northern Ireland too. Not that I wouldn't give him another chance because of that. But he was.

That's the performance I remember most out of his caps. It's as bad a performance as I remember from an Irish player. But it seems like he's developed a lot since then, this season especially. He's just unlucky with the competition ahead of him.

29/12/21 League 1 Mark Sykes 9 - Man of the Match A man transformed in front of goal, his finish for the opener was as cool as you like. Movement and vision helped unlock the visiting defence time and again, while nobody on the pitch made more than his five tackles. Anthony Forde - not on long enough to rate 30/12/21 Championship Mark Travers 7 Other than a slight miskick in the first half, which resulted in a refreshing, unadulterated smash to anywhere from Lloyd Kelly, Travers was once more crucial in making key saves at key times. His two saves from Kieffer Moore in the opening 40 minutes came at significant points in the game. One after a matter of minutes, where Cardiff would have took the lead, and one with just under 10 minutes before half time, where the complexion of the game would have changed. It is very rare for a goalkeeper to have everything in such working order, but Travers seems to be thriving in one of those periods. Mark McGuinness 5 Deflected the shot into his own net for Christie's goal, but couldn't be helped. A couple of rash challenges early but generally OK. James Collins (on for Moore 59) 4 An unenviable task for the striker. Only real thing of note was dragging a shot miles wide from 30 yards. Max O'Leary 6 After surprisingly being named ahead of Dan Bentley, O'Leary showed good command of his penalty area and understanding with his defence on his first Championship start of the season. Two good low late saves kept the Robins in the contest but then City were undone from a corner. Callum O'Dowda 7 Enjoyed the freedom of Bristol in the first half as he gave Albert Adomah a torrid evening. But as QPR locked things up after the break, the Republic of Ireland international didn't have quite the same space. If you're being critical perhaps he could have made more of those first-half openings. Jimmy Dunne 6 Not his best performance. Saw the opening goal for the hosts deflect off his leg and into the net after just three minutes. Looked uncomfortable on the ball on occasions when pressed by the hard-working Antoine Semenyo but was better in the second half. Jason Knight 7 Endless energy and commitment that typifies this battling Derby team. Festy Ebosele (for Jozwiak, 63) 7 Provided pace and energy when he came on. League 1 Ciaran Brennan (29) 2 Found it tough going coming on as a late replacement. Got caught ball watching for Sunderland's fourth. A tough evening. Overall some really positive development of Irish players in the Championship and League 1 in the first half of this season I think. The obvious negative is that we've probably never had fewer players playing regular football in the Premier League, but the progression of younger players in the divisions below gives more hope for the future.

Out of contract in the summer and will be interesting to see what potential interest he'll have from bigger clubs. He's Blackburn through and through but he'll be 28 and it's probably going to be his last chance to negotiate the best contract that he can. |

1/1/22
Championship Richard Keogh 7 Likewise with Ekpiteta, Keogh had to play a risky game with a high line when pressure was on throughout. He was caught out a couple of times but looked assured in the second half. Sean McLoughlin 6 Superb interception midway through the first half from a slide-rule Anderson pass which largely set the tone for a solid display. League 1 Eoin Doyle 7 Saw a few first half opportunities go wide or saved, but slotted home chance when it came to him immediately after Millers went in front. Taken off with 20 minutes left. Warren O'Hora 7 Had no issues keeping Gillingham's front line out, and even ventured forwards to get a shot away in the first half. Peter Kioso 6.5 Got into some good attacking positions in the first half but, like the rest, was left frustrated with Dons' lack of finishing by the end. Troy Parrott 6 Struggled to get on the same page as strike partner Mo Eisa as Dons attacks broke down in the final third. Looked decent on the ball. Mark Sykes 6 Frustrating first half was summed up by a harsh booking and a poor miss. Quieter than he has been in recent weeks, before scoring the all-important goal. 2/1/22 Premier League Seamus Coleman 3 Playing left wing-back was not comfortable and that was clear to see from early on. He improved in the second period. Shane Duffy 7 Although he did not make the defence impregnable, which is a very tough task, he added some assuredness at the back, particularly when they were up against it. Caoimhin Kelleher 8 - Man of the Match The biggest match of the young Irishman’s career and he certainly stood up to it. Massive early one-on-one save at the feet of Pulisic that was very Alisson-like. Made a great punch clear from a dangerous free-kick, which somehow turned into an assist for an absolute worldie struck past him. Talk about unlucky. No chance for goal number two, but a top stop from close range just after the hour mark. Really composed and moved his feet well to make the difficult turn out to be routine – Kweev was the anti-Ramsdale, basically. Championship Darragh Lenihan 8 Was caught out by the conditions on one too many occasions as his aggressive-style undermined him when pressing onto the midfield. Took a more reserved approach in the second-half but that didn't make him any less domineering. Jimmy Dunne 7 Also impressive. Good on the ball, determined in the air and kept Troy Deeney quiet. Hogan (for Hall, 84') 6 Mark McGuinness 7 Was given a stern test against the likes of Callum Robinson, but largely stood up well both in the tackle and in the air. James Collins 8 (star man) Worked his socks off all afternoon and deserved his goal. Hopefully there's more to come. Taylor Gardner-Hickman 5 Composed on the ball. Hasn’t completed 90 minutes in a few weeks so there was a little rustiness evident. Combined well once or twice with Fellows in the first half but was virtually a spectator himself in the second. Callum Robinson 5 Retained his place in the middle of the front three. We know it’s not his favoured position but irrespective of that Robinson has to show more. Jayson Molumby (for Robinson 79) - not on long enough to rate. Max O'Leary 6 It was notable early on just how many times he was electing to throw the ball to keep City in possession and on the move. Did exceptionally well to claim some tough-looking crosses but could have perhaps been a little more authoritative for Tom Bradshaw's opener. Callum O'Dowda 6 Not quite at his flying best but he was always on his heels and looking to attack Danny McNamara but the Millwall right-back had a good game. Was defensively very committed, winning the ball back high up the pitch. League 1 Ciaran Brennan (29, 4) Second successive fixture has been thrown on due to an injury at the back. Outjumped in the box by Pennington for the goal. No ratings for Millwall unfortunately but it sounds like Dan McNamara was once again one of their best players. |

3/1/22 Championship Jason Knight 6 Grafted as usual, battled away but could have done more defensively at the back post on Reading's second goal. Festy Ebosele (for Forsyth, 57) 6 Alan Browne 8 Tenacious, aggressive and positive on the ball. Covered every blade of grass - was back in his own box blocking and at the other end spraying passes. Looking back to his best. Sean Maguire 6 Helped look after the ball and run the clock down well. League 1 Gavin Bazunu 8 Although Pompey dominated the first half, many of shots and key chances fell Cambridge's way. Gavin Bazunu did excellently to keep out George Williams and Sam Smith before the break, as well as commanding his box well. Continued well after half-time and got himself in front of everything he needed to. Sean Raggett 7 Sean Raggett had started the game brilliantly for Pompey, commanding the back line and being crucial in clearing on multiple occasions. Tailed off slightly in the long spell after the medical emergency, getting booked for a foul on Joe Ironside. Shaun Williams 5 It was a poor first half from Shaun Williams who was caught in possession on multiple occasions before the break. Had a good spell early in the second half but was less influential as the second half progressed, getting booked for a very late sliding challenge on Brophy. Marcus Harness 8 Top scorer Marcus Harness was involved in a very heated incident with Cambridge's George Williams and despite putting his knee on his neck for sometime, he escaped punishment from referee Joshua Smith. Booed for the rest of the game, he did look like Pompey's most creative player, in the front three, with the Blues' strikers being shepherded well by Cambridge's back line. All of Pompey's best chances involved Harness, who was a threat throughout. Ronan Curtis 5 Ronan Curtis grafted as he always did but his wait for a goal has now stretched to more than 1,000 minutes. He had a glorious chance created by Harness late on, which he skied over the bar. Not sure what that Marcus Harness thing is about but it doesn't sound great.

I think the only possible thing he could maybe have done was to not compete for the header and hold his ground to try to block the shot afterwards. Competing for the header he couldn't reach threw him out of position and gave the Reading lad a free shot at goal.
But I agree, the comment is a bit unfair on him in that regard. Thought he had an unusually quiet game overall though, he's usually all action but didn't seem that involved in the game today.

7/1/21 EFL Trophy Sean Raggett 7 A recent run of games with the armband in the absences of Clark Robertson and Lee Brown came to an end, although he commanded the back line as well as he would have liked to. Put in a great challenge shortly after Exeter's equaliser to deny Ben Seymour inside the penalty area. Marcus Harness 7 It was Marcus Harness' deliciously clipped in cross that created Hirst's first goal since November, which the striker headed in excellently. Showed his quality at times, including a turn and nutmeg on Pierce Sweeney that was very easy on the eye. A quieter start after the break and was another one taken off in the lesser-seen four-man switch. Ronan Curtis 8 (Star man) Curtis was the match-winner, scoring twice in the final knockings to secure the win. His first ended a goal drought over of 1,000 minutes, heading in Jacobs' free-kick. He then finished late on when taking over Hackett's run to squirm an effort in. 8/1/21 FA Cup Max O’Leary 7 It was also noticeable yet again that City played a lot more from the back with him in goal and were confident exchanging short passes with their keeper. A massive onlooker in the second half but couldn’t do anything about Harry Wilson’s cross-come-shot that ended up going all the way in. His saves to stop Cairney and Kebano from making it 2-0 unfortunately won’t be remembered given the game circumstances but are well worth a mention. Callum O’Dowda 5 It was a quiet day for the wingback who couldn’t bring much to the attack. He held a high line and helped the shape of City’s first half press, though it dropped off in the second half. His final pass and decision-making left plenty to be desired as he didn’t manage to build any chemistry whatsoever. His moment to redeem himself came and went in the passing of one adrenaline filled right foot shot that blazed over and should have gone in. Jordan Shipley 6.5 Put in a decent shift on only his second appearance of the season, working well with Jamie Allen at the top of the box midfield. Got a couple of shots away, one decent effort blocked by Davies to deny him a goal. Festy Ebosele 7.5 Gave Fankaty Dabo a torrid time on Coventry's left with a number of storming runs into the home team's penalty area but needed to take more care with his final pass or cross. Had a good chance in the second half but took a touch and then saw his effort pushed away by the keeper. Would have been a higher mark had he added an end product to his good work. Jason Knight 5.5 Wasted a good opening late in the first half when he sliced his effort well wide. Gavan Holohan 7 Little anonymous first half but was part of lots of things Pools did well in the second right up until the final whistle. Richard Keogh 6 Shaky at times with the rest of the side but looked the more composed in the second half showing leadership amongst a poor display from the Seasiders. CJ Hamilton 4 Got into the right areas but two sitters missed in a wasteful display. Lack of quality on the ball when it mattered. One to forget for him. Jack Taylor 5.5 Put a good shift in, but the quality we associate with this midfielder was largely absent. Gave the ball away too often. Sammie Szmodics 7.5 A goal and an assist and a performance of great energy and workrate. Question marks remain over his finishing though. He could have easily had four goals. Trevor Clarke 7 Looked capable of mustering something in the attacking phase with his elusiveness, but he had to go off with a knock just after the hour. His desperate challenge denied Dembele a certain goal at 1-1. Taylor Gardner-Hickman 6 Opportunity to play in central midfield, where he’s thrived previously. One through ball for Townsend early doors was excellent, and he completed a few more eye-catching passes besides. Always the feeling that Ismael wants a little more from him, but there can be no complaints about his application. Callum Robinson 6 Nothing stuck for him in a poor first half. Sometimes he could’ve done more, on other occasions he was just a little unfortunate, but he was in the right place and the right time to apply the finishing touch. Shane Duffy 6 Decent in defence but should have scored when he blazed a volley over the bar from close range midway through the second half. Evan Ferguson 7 Very encouraging outing for the youngster. One instinctive effort with the outside of the boot dropped just over. Good positional play and build-up play. Had a goal disallowed for offside. Scott Hogan 4 Absolutely nothing came his way for the whole game. A thankless task. Seamus Coleman 6 Started the game in another new position and it took him a little while to get to grips with it. He looked much more comfortable again when switching to his natural role in the second period. Sean McLoughlin 8 Commanded the heart of the defence very well against Rondon, who didn’t get many chances in front of goal. Intercepted vitally on more than one occasion. Ryan Manning 6 The Republic of Ireland international won a number of free-kicks and was arguably Swansea's most promising player early on. Michael Obafemi 5 Lining up against his former employers, Obafemi was starved of service but used his pace as Yan Valery was sent off. Unable to threaten though. Subbed ahead of extra time. Shane Long (78') 8 He set up Southampton's extra-time equaliser with some good work down the right and then scored the goal that put them ahead. Gavin Kilkenny 6 Parker used Kilkenny in a differing role to what we've been accustomed to seeing, with the young Irish midfielder stationed slightly more advanced and towards the right. At times in the first half, he would drift wider to receive the ball, eliciting Mariah-Welsh to take up a position akin to a traditional number 8. It was a subtle, but clever ploy from Parker to bring the pair's best qualities out. Robbie Brady (Anthony 64') 6 Brady was introduced on the right hand flank, making his return following niggling injury issues. The half an hour played should stand him and Bournemouth in good stead ahead of the congested fixture schedule. League 1 Anthony Scully 8.5 Produced a brilliant finish for his goal and caused problems down the left all afternoon. |

8/1/22
FA Cup Jimmy Dunne 7 Really impressive during the first half, when he won plenty of aerial duels and made a great challenge on Will Grigg to deny the striker a shot on goal on the 17-minute mark. Gave the Rotherham attackers very little all afternoon and put in a real shift for his side in the middle of defence. Darragh Lenihan 6 Injured himself making a tackle in the opening exchanges and yet he soldiered on until the half-time interval with a minimum of fuss, executing his duties like a real leader. Hopefully his injury is nothing severe. League 1 Warren O'Hora 6.5 Like his defensive counterparts, didn't really have much defensive work to do before being taken off for attacking options Peter Kioso 6.5 Saw a lot of the ball in the second half but didn't take on Amankwah enough. Troy Parrott 6.5 Never really got a sighting of goal. Looked tricky on the ball but got surrounded quickly and forced backwards. Luke McNally 6.5 In the right place to deal with several first half crosses, including one spectacular sliding block and clearance off the line. Guilty of switching off for the second goal. Mark Sykes 5 Less influential than recent weeks and you could see him getting frustrated, particularly after the altercation with Maguire. Generally tidy in possession, just unable to do much with it. 9/1/22 FA Cup Caoimhin Kelleher 7 Good footwork and starting position to help clear long balls in behind the defence and start attacks from the back. No chance on the goal from close range. Ended the half with a punch clear a bit like his one for Kovacic’s volley, but this time saved the header which came back his way. One lucky escape very late on as the ball got stuck under his studs but did well to recover and clear. Greg Cunningham 5 Caught out in the first half when Davies was slipped in for a chance. Supported well in the final third on a couple of occasions and kept it relatively tidy on the ball - apart from once in the first half. Sean Maguire 6 Battled away up there against the physical Morrison and Nelson. Didn't shirk the fight and did well with his back to goal more times than not. Won the penalty; very little in the way of goal scoring chances. Joel Bagan 5 Cannot fault the effort, but just looked a little awkward at times out wide. Some decent crosses and some nice link-up play aside, felt a little too predictable. James Collins 5 Threw himself about and held up the ball reasonably well, but seldom looked a genuine goal threat. A missed opportunity following his heroics at the Hawthorns. Adam Idah N/A Came on for the final ten minutes and could have scored but scuffed his effort. Jack Bonham 7 Steady hands, saving well from Smith in first-half, and had to stay on alert. Matt Doherty 6.5 Got up and down the right side pretty well and was a constant outlet in behind. Hit the post but the ball didn’t quite fall for him in the box. A decent performance. Conor Hourihane 5 Quiet from the midfielder. Didn't make much of an impact. David McGoldrick 5 Will be really disappointed not to have given United the lead moments before Podence pounced. Unmarked and picked out by Norrington-Davies he had only the keeper to beat inside the area but rather than fire low and hard he tried to dink it over Ruddy and the keeper got a hand to it before it was cleared.

11/1/22
EFL Trophy Ronan Curtis 5 For all of Ronan Curtis' effort and running, he seemed to lose most 50/50s that went in for. Fresh from his goal heroics at Exeter, he was some way off that and was among those taken off in the large scale changes after an hour. Sean Raggett 6 It was a rare semi-rest for Sean Raggett, who did not grace the pitch until the second half when replacing former Rotherham colleague Robertson. Shortly after coming on, his attempted interception did not go to plan as Knibbs got away to score from just outside of the penalty area. Better as the second half unfolded but still some way below his par. Marcus Harness 5 Top scorer Harness was back at the ground he did well not to get sent off at eight days ago. Some nice touches and moves but did not add the influence Pompey will have hoped for from their only player in double digits for goals this term. League 1 Aiden O'Brien (sub) 6 Brought a burst of energy and it was his cross that led to the foul on Pritchard for the penalty. Impact faded after the third. Warren O'Hora 7.5 Never really troubled defensively. Barked orders throughout, especially in demanding more from Watson and Corbeanu in the second half. Peter Kioso 6.5 A late change for Watson. Kept the ball well. Troy Parrott - not on long enough to rate 12/1/22 EFL Cup Matt Doherty 4 Offered no threat down the left flank, frequently cutting inside on his right foot and slowing down attacks. Having struggled at Stamford Bridge, his selection again was strange. Premier League Adam Idah 8 (Man of the Match) Turned a couple of West Ham players inside out in the opening 20 minutes. Proved to be a handful. Struck a ferocious shot that was creeping inside of the post but was denied by an excellent save from Fabianski.

15/1/22 Premier League Adam Idah 8 Played with physicality and maturity well beyond his 20 years and was rewarded with the first top flight goal of his career. Seamus Coleman 3 Sold Anthony Gordon short with an under-hit pass in the build up to Norwich’s second goal – one of several such occurrences from Everton players – and had his hands full dealing with Milot Rashica before making way. Championship Mark McGuinness 6 Solid enough and went through the game relatively untroubled. Made a good chance for himself late on which was saved. James Collins 6 Ran his socks off and showed real physicality when he needed to. Had a couple of near misses when he tried to latch on to crosses. Darragh Lenihan 8 In the first-half he dealt with Cardiff's aerial threat efficiently, even if he did encounter a few problems on the ground. Second-half, Harris had a few successes down his flank but past the hour mark he was simply flawless, giving the Rovers backline an intensity to which they followed. Even at right wing-back he impressed! Mark Travers 8 Travers made three excellent saves in the first half to avoid the game being out of reach by the break. Despite the atmosphere and teammates seemingly perturbed, he commanded his box well and on more than one occasion, called for calm. While he could do very little about either goal, the second half then followed suit, with a solid save from Jordan Clark's effort in the latter stages. Also displayed his improved composure on the ball, irrespective of his central defenders putting him into trouble with overhit back passes. Festy Ebosele 7.5 Had a speedy battle up and down the left with former Rams player and United right back Jayden Bogle. His strong run played a key role in Lawrence's second goal. Jason Knight 7 Worked his socks off for the team fom start to finish. Eiran Cashin (for Lawrence, 83) - not on long enough to rate. John Egan 5 A threat when he went up for long throw-ins but not up to his usual defensive standards. David McGoldrick 5 Unable to provide the quality the game and his team so badly needed. Conor Hourihane (for Berge, 68) 4 The midfield was crying out for quality but he was unable to provide it. Max O'Leary 5 Two fine saves in the first half, low to left to thwart Neeskens Kebano and then an acrobatic tip over the bar to deny Mitrovic, had kept City in the game but then the floodgates opened and the City goalkeeper found himself repeatedly picking the ball out of his net. He could hardly be blamed for any of them, either. Callum O'Dowda 5 Made some incisive runs and gave Kenny Tete something to think about but didn't provide enough service when he did find an opening. And, like so many of his teammates, spent much of the middle to latter part of the first half just trying to stay in position and plug the dam. Ryan Manning 7 Returning to the back three, Manning defended well and was spectacularly denied by Lee Nicholls in the first half. Got forward so well in the second half. Cyrus Christie 7 On his Swans debut, the Fulham loanee was composed on the ball and showed encouraging signs of linking up with the attack. The new signings will hugely benefit from the minutes. Subbed. Michael Obafemi (for Christie) 6 Spurned a glorious chance to equalise but was a threat. Aaron Connolly 7 Had a really bright debut. 67-minute run out where, first-half in particular, he made some excellent runs off the ball and troubled the Reading defence. Unfortunate not to score. Jack Taylor 5.5 Played an important part in the Posh goal and, although he was often left toiling by the visiting midfield, it was a surprise to see him taken off with his side chasing the goal. Sammie Szmodics 5 Busy as always and played a key part in the best Posh attack of the first-half which Jack Taylor couldn't convert. Faded from the game second-half when Posh possession all but dried up. Jordan Shipley 8 Filled in brilliantly at left wing-back and could have had two goals in the first half, while he was denied by the keeper in the second. Defended well. Alan Browne 6 Found some great space in the first half and that proved crucial for the opening goal. His low shot was helped into the bottom corner and Browne was right at it in terms of energy and desire. Would've liked to see him more involved in the final third in the second half. Greg Cunningham 7 Solid on his return to the side in the absence of Josh Earl. His experience is clear to see when he plays that role and Cunningham used the ball well, while bombing up and down the left flank. Sean Maguire 6 Poor pass in search of Barkhuizen after finding himself in a good pocket of space. Started one fine PNE move off but couldn't help kill the game off. Scott Hogan (for Hernandez, 83) - Not on long enough to rate. Jimmy Dunne 8 Another eye-catching display from the young centre-back, who put in a colossal performance to deal with West Brom’s physical and pacy forwards. Seemed to relish a great battle with giant striker Daryl Dike who impressed after coming on for the last half an hour. Taylor Gardner-Hickman 5 Some of his passing and vision was very impressive on the right. Also did really well to shield, when under pressure, the ball out of play when facing his own goal. Struggled in the second half, though, as QPR came on strong and he was beaten to the ball by Austin. Jayson Molumby 4 On the end of a rash challenge by Dickie, who was booked. Molumby saw plenty of the ball in the first half as Albion dominated and moved the ball pretty well, but he lacked composure. Technically must be better, because some of his passing was wayward here as a result. Callum Robinson 4 Very quiet in the first half, when he really struggled to impact the game bar the part he played in the build up to Phillips’ chance, laid on a plate by Grant. (Danny McNamara - the 28th Irish player to feature in the Championship today, don't have a rating for him as usual but he seems to have been Millwall's best player going by their supporters forum.) League 1 Aiden O’Brien 7 Looked in good form when he came on. Scored our goal, showed quick feet on multiple occasions and his more physical approach over Pritchard helped the team. Anthony Scully 7.5 Combined superbly with Bramall and deserved a goal. A good return to the side after missing the Sunderland game. Gavin Bazunu 7 Gavin Bazunu was one of two players rested for Pompey's two Papa John's Trophy games this month and was recalled in the hope of increasing his lead as League One's Golden Glove award. Found himself picking up the ball twice out of his own net before the break, getting beaten in a one v one by Eisa before a long-range effort from Corbeanu that he could do little about. Made some excellent saves late on to keep Pompey in it. Sean Raggett 6 Sean Raggett made one or two pleasing blocks and was solid for large parts. Got bullied by Scott Twine in the build-up to Corbeanu's winner which proved to be crucial in succumbing the Blues to defeat. Shaun Williams 6 Shaun Williams was back after a two-match rest. A few good ball carries and moments of keeping possession but Pompey needed more energy and it became clear how much Thompson changed the game in the final third. Marcus Harness 7 (Star man) Where creativity and quality was lacking for large parts, Marcus Harness was one of a few who could come out of the game with some credit. Dribbled well and knew certainly how to beat a man going forward. Hung in a few good moments and whenever Pompey had some signs of promise or excitement, Harness was involved more often than not. Ronan Curtis 5 For all his chances, especially in the first half, Ronan Curtis did little to test Dons' Jamie Cumming at all. He wasted a three versus two chance, as well as a couple of half chances that Cumming held with ease. Despite his landmark goals against Exeter City eight days ago, he seems short of his best where scoring goals is concerned. Edited by You Tell Me - 15 Jan 2022 at 7:57pm |

Thanks a million. I was concerned when Connolly was subbed on 67 minutes but this has eased my concerns. Fingers crossed for him.

Man this is unreal. I’ve been checking Who Scored every weekend to try and see which of our boys are getting a game, this is so much more informative! Great idea!

15/1/22 League 1 Warren O'Hora 8 Didn't miss a beat in the centre of the defence. Strong in the air, won his tackles and kept the back line in check as the defensive general. Thrived off the atmosphere late on. Peter Kioso 8 Like O'Hora, seemed to thrive off the hostile atmosphere in the second half especially. Playing in the centre, Kioso stood firm and kept disciplined. Troy Parrott 7 Coming on in the latter stages, still managed to cause troubles with his tricky feet and won a late corner which effectively put the game to bed. Mark Sykes 5 Like at Lincoln, he showed a lot of energy without the end product and grew frustrated. Made the wrong decision in the final third a couple of times. 16/1/22 Championship Sean McLoughlin 7 About the pick of the bunch for me with some monstrous last-ditch blocks to deny certain goals. Growing in confidence by the game and showing the belief that he belongs in the Championship. Jack Bonham 7 Safe hands and good positioning in a first league start for the summer signing. |

Where are you getting this info from? as I notice there are a number of players missing a lot of the time.
