Turner - 7 – a fairly shaky first half. Made some smart saves and excellent decisions in the second.
Gunter – 7 – solid display and some good passes.
Morgan – 7.5 – his mistake nearly cost us late in the second half, but for most of the game he was like a brick wall – throwing himself in the path of everything and everybody. A worthy captain.
Wilson – 6.5 – solid performance, one or two poor passes.
Lynch – 6.5 – solid but unremarkable. Played a great ball for Earnshaw in the second half that almost created a goal.
Cohen – 7.5 – tireless and desperate performance.
Osbourne – 7.5 – excellent display as he roved forwards and back, always found a pass.
McGugan – 7 – a decent performance from a slimmed-down Lewis, until he disappeared in the chaos of the second half.
Blackstock – 7 – the target we’ve been lacking. Not a sensational performance, but he holds the ball up and finds useful flick-ons – we don’t have anybody else capable of that.
Earnshaw – 7.5 – should have bagged a couple more really, but this was a busy and hard-working performance from the best striker we’ve had in a very long time. I think he knows he’ll be leaving if we’re relegated, and I think he’s desperate to help us avoid it.
Tyson – 6 – poor touches throughout the game and not particularly effective from the wing. Had one or two promising moments as he took players on, but it didn’t really work. There is potential in Tyson latching on to Blackstock’s flicks.
