Slocombe: one really good save at the end of the first half, a couple more in the second. Seemed quite at ease with knowing when to pass it out and when to kick it long. Couldn't do anything about the deflected goal, and I don't think he could've done much about the other one. 8

Macari: hard to believe he made his debut a week ago when he has played almost three games in a week and not looked inferior to any of the established defenders. Seems to have excellent balance. 7.5

Baldwin: played very well as he does most weeks, but I think he misjudged the bounce from a long ball that let them score. Always plays really well, always gifts one or two good chances. How do you rate that? A philosophical discussion for this week no doubt. 5.5

Cameron: again played pretty well, but would've liked to see him and Baldwin doing more closing down for the deflected goal. Great cross that Macca should've converted and good hit from distance that on another day goes in. 7

JoB: has played better as a starter recently than when he came on as a sub previously. I liked his positive passing and his general raging against the dying of the light, but some sloppiness in there too. 6.5

Palmer: did pleasing Palmer things until he went off. 7

Nemane: set the tone by beating his man from a standing start early on, but as is often the case lacks that little bit of end product and intuition with teammates. 7

Crowley: barely a game goes by when he doesn't get a goal or an assist, but he still played quite well today. 7

Jones: pipped Slocombe to MoM with another purposeful display. Gives us the directness we need, and is a joy to watch for us dinosaurs who like wingers to take a man on and swing a cross in. 8.5

McGoldrick and Langstaff: I can do these both together as they had similar games. Worked hard, nice touches, played well even, but neither scored from very presentable chances, which was what affected the outcome of the match. 6 and 6.

On a side note, as I mentioned in the match thread, why doesn't Slocombe kick for touch in the opposition corner? It's got to be better than what we do now as plan B.
