Smith – 5 – no problems in the second half, but he had some shocking moments in the first.
Chambers – 6 – struggled at times, as he often does, but he looks fitter, leaner and a lot more comfortable at the moment.
Wilson – 6.5 – reasonably solid performance.
Morgan – 8 – frequently held together a collapsing defence in the first half. There is no doubt in my mind that he should keep that armband.
Lynch – 6 – probably his strongest display in a Forest shirt. Not perfect, but better.
Anderson – 7 – caused them a lot of problems by breaking forward with pace.
McGugan – 7– he was excellent, but only in patches. A Lewis McGugan that performs for 90 minutes, every week, could play in the Premiership.
Moussi – 7.5 – looked tired at times, but his sensibly-crafted passes bought priceless space and time. Ran himself into the ground towards the end.
Cohen – 7.5 – the usual tireless display, coupled with some excellent passing.
Earnshaw – 6.5 – spent most of the afternoon staring into Duberry’s midriff, but he made a nuisance of himself.
Tyson – 6 – not in the game and injured early.
Subs:
McCleary – 8 – sometimes he is truly awful, today he was exemplary. He’s quick, reasonably strong and he likes stepovers. It’s no wonder why leggy defences don’t like to see him come off the bench.
