10 - Out of this World
9 - Excellent
8 - Very Good
7 - Good
6 - Average
5 - Below Par
4 - Poor
3 - Abysmal

[KRBFC]

Hart 9 not a foot wrong again
Lowton 8 very good as usual
Mee 9 standard Ben Mee
Tark 9 MOM edged it
Ward 7 good but offered nothing going forward
JBG 3 useless today, the corner he kicked straight out of play summed his afternoon up.
Westwood 7 steady
Cork 7 typical Cork performance, unlucky with the onside goal.
Lennon 3 did he touch the ball?
Hendrick 8 did very well imo, not his best role but rarely lost the ball.
Wood 7 made some good runs, given little service from the awful wide players.

Thought Hendrick was involved in almost all of our good attacking play, he linked the ball well and played some smart passes.

[KlyBfc]

Hart 7 solid, dependable, confident
Lowton 7 as we have come to expect
Ward 7 as above
Mee 9 excellent
Tarks 9 tremendous
JBG 5 below what we’ve come to expect
Lennon 6 busy, got back, drifted off the flank but should have scored and general end product not good enough
Cork 7 unlucky not to be given the winner
Westwood 6 steady, did what’s expected of him with his usual manner
Hendrick 7 some very good touches, tried to be positive and progressive, perhaps should have scored with the header
Wood 6 ran the channels, battled hard against the back 3

[careyclaret]

Very strong performance for most of the game, thought the central defence and midfield were outstanding.

Hart. 8. Confident and efficient.
Lowton. 8. Good defensive work and some nice crossing.
Mee.8. So solid though probably was a penalty.
Tarks.9. Great defending and passing.
Ward. 7. Very solid.
JBG. 6. Disappointed by him today.
Woodward. 8. Really strong performance.
Cork.8. Held everything together.
Hendrick.8. Lovely attacking play.
Ward.7.Good honest performance.

[whiffa]

Hart - 8 - Some great saves
Ward - 7
Tarkowski - 9 - Faultless for me, had a great game.
Mee - 8
Lowton - 7
Lennon - 7
Cork - 6 - Stupid early booking, affected the rest of his game I thought.
Westwood - 8 - Never gets the credit he deserves IMO - was the playmaker today.
Hendrick - 6
Gudmundsson - 6
Wood - 6 - Unusually quiet despite our chances.

[careyclaret]

Lennon. 6. Good cover defending.

Today showed exactly where we are light in numbers and or quality.

7 more days to hopefully get some more bodies back playing and up to speed.

A better decision or quality in the final 3rd and we would have won comfortably, sasly we didn't, but at least we didn't lose.

Easily better for 60/65 mins. then perhaps the inevitable tiredness took its toll. Looked a slick side at times in the first half. Just checked the scores chart and that a 3 is for abysmal. Two of our players received a 3 from the same poster and yet we managed a more than creditable draw away from home................with only 9 men apparently.
Edit Ward 7. My team had only 10.

An absolute nonsense to suggest that any player is a 3 on that performance. We were excellent.

Got to put your chances away.

Nothing we can change from the bench other than strikers and even had to put Taylor wide left late on.

Not strengthening this area a cause for concern.

3 for JBG and Lennon

Very assured performance but should've had the game pretty much wrapped up by HT.

Meanwhile you gave him a 6 so you thought he was average, if that's JBG average then we should probably play Walters instead. He kicked a corner straight out of play, took about 3 years to control a ball when through on goal, and generally offered nothing. Baffling people thought he was good because he ran around a lot.

Some of the interplay first half was very very good ......made Southampton look very ordinary....we have some really talented footballers that are getting better and better ....good times !!! first game a year ago !!Same again please

[Hibsclaret]

Couldn’t agree more. I commented to my mate that it was like watching Brazil...when they were good

[Walton]

Hart 8 some top stops
Lowton 7 standard performance from him
Tarkowski 9 in the way of everything
Mee 8 same, but mark knocked off for the near-OG and the pen he got away with on Ings
Ward 7 Standard
Gudmundsson 7 involved in a lot of our early dominance, needs to get more goals though
Westwood 8 we dominated midfield
Cork 8
Lennon 7 decent
Hendrick 8
Wood 5 doesn't look fit
