Heaton - Quite quiet for him! Good penalty save, ref was a bit picky letting them have a retake. - 8

Smith - Solid -7

Jerel - Fucking awesome, playing well under Iffy - 10

Seano - Solid - 8

Nicho - Good down the left - 8

McDermott - Good clever goal - 8

Migz - Fecking awesome - 10

Gurney - Solid as fuck! - 9

Pook - Wasnt too involved - 7

Bouazza - Good - 8

Fallon - Stuffed fatty Heywood. Great goal! - 9

Pook was very good in first half i thought.  Made ome solid tackles.
Bouazza deserved a 9, great runs and read the game well.

Id agree with those ratings apart from Smith maybe getting an 8, thought he was very good!

Bouazza got man of the match on sky. Jerel made one shocking mistake towards the end which was lucky to go unpunished. Migz was great first half, faded in the second. Bouazza is lightning! At one point in the second half, he had 5 men round him and he beat them all with a neat turn, winning the free kick! Would love to sign him permanently, looks a real handful.

Heaton - good game, no mistakes, saved a pen  :wink: and looked solid, plus extra marks for his FT celebration -9

Smith - Solid -7

Jerel - Great mostly, but almost gave away a stupid goal -9

Seano - Solid - 8

Nicho - Got forward well, worked non-stop - 8

McDermott - good goal, good finish - 7

Migz - Top stuff, a championship player on his day - 9

Gurney - solid but gave away silly free-kicks as usual -7

Pook - Got stuck in when needed -7

Bouazza - Ran around for ages before actually getting a touch, but was very live;y and creative -8

Fallon - Won the battle vs Heywood, great goal - 9

Never going to  get him permanently though.

Heaton - good game.  Great penalty save, and a bloody amazing save in the second half to tip the ball over the bar.  Only major complaint was that in the second half he kicked the ball to his left all the time,  when there was loads of open space to be exploited on the right. -9

Smith - Solid -7

Jerel - Great game.  Looked calm and comfortable, and if in doubt - he kicked it out.9

Seano - Solid - 8

Nicho - Got into some good positions.  However he wasnt really tested once City went down to 10 men - 7

McDermott - good goal, good finish, gritty performance - 8

Migz - Excellent game.  Stopped the ball a lot.  Only problem was his lack of vision sometimes when men were free in space. 9

Gurney - solid but gave away silly free-kicks as usual -7

Pook - Did well in midfield,  cant really remember much of what he did tho soapy tit wank -7

Bouazza - My man of the match.  His pace was to hot to handle.  He turned long vballs into opurtunities.  My only criticism was in the second half he got a bit to greedy, but i suppose most strikers are-10

Fallon - Scored the winning goal, and won most of the balls in the air.  With time he could develop a great partnership with Bouazza - 9

Our midfield were splendid and Ifil played a blinder. Ace.

Migs was/is fantastic.  Watching him since hes been back has been great.  he really is what we have been missing.  

City were terrible and based on that performance alone, will be lucky to stay up.

you'll never take the merlin  :D

Hopefully that will give us that extra bit of confidence, if we go on and get consecutive wins now that would be good and then we can build from there.

everyone gets a 10 from me! beating city is the biz so well done boys! 6 unbeaten and lets hope it continues!

Make it 15 unbeaten and that would be good, and TBH they are nearly all draws.

I am not being pessemistic. I am happy as fuck!

Heaton - He fucked a kick up in the second-half.  That's about it. -9

Smith - Industrious until he made way for Jenks  -7

Jerel - Looked completely uncomposed at the start, collected himself for most of the game and was solid and sharp, apart from when he wasn't -5/8

Seano - Good throughout, other than a couple of moments of madness - 7

Nicho - Probably very pleased King's gone - 7

McDermott - Well taken goal, worked hard - 7

Migz - We looked our best when running things to Migz.  Please don't get injured - 8

Gurney - Played the marshall, knocked them about a bit without getting a card, and was vocal towards his team mates in a good way.  Great performance - 8

Pook - Average perfomance, definately works hard and gets in places, just doesn't seem to know the right thing when he's there.  Two or three chances in the first half with time and didn't hit the target. -6

Bouazza - Caused them the most trouble, hence all the little fouls on him to stop him playing -8

Fallon - Another goal, and was winning absolutely everything in the air for a while - 8[/quote]

Heaton - 9 - Get him the flight to German Sven, England #1

Smith - 7 - Solid, didnt get forward much

Ifil - 9 - I say it every week, looks much better now he doesnt get slated every single week by a stupid bald tosser

O'Hanlon - 9 - Pretty damn solid

Nicholas - 8 - Best game I think he has had in a long time

McDermott - 8 - Played well without every impressing, very well taken goal though. He said he was going to repay the manager and he did. Celebration was cool

Pook - 8 - Very good first half down the middle, played left wing second half as we went 4-4-2. Didnt looks as good

Miglioranzi - 11 - I fucking love him, good passing, great skill and he got stuck in. I know Blackcurrant questions his ability to get stuck in, very glad he proved you wrong Dave. Never gets the credit for his breaking up as play

Gurney - 8 - Is this the same Gurney, I think not!!!

Bouazza - 8 - Not man of the match for me, didnt get the ball as much as I would have liked. Not his fault though

Fallon - 8 - Worked hard, good control for the goal. Crap celebration....

I was too busy chanting to realise who played well tonight, well done to every single player. :beers:

Migz is such a key player for us.  IF he can stay fit for the rest of the season we have every chance of staying up. We have a good mix of youth and experience in that midfield which played tonight.  The fact that Migz was on the receiving end of a couple of crunching tackles tonight and still lasted the 90 minutes is very encouraging.

Bouazza looks good and holds the ball up surprisingly well for a small bloke.

Also the fact that Migz went in for tackles!

same here, will reserve judgment until i've watched it on video

Agree with most of that. Would like to add:
Ifil still made a howler near the end which they should have scored from, and his passing was still a bit hoofy, but otherwise he is a colossus, so only 7 for me.
Miglioranzi showed us his very best. He has always been able to get stuck in and break up play, besides being good at every thing else except delaying too much at times especially with shooting chances. However, I suspect that he is usually not quite injury free. He often gets smashed because he moves the ball on very late and receives a heavy challenge. I thought several times that he would have to go off, but luckily he continued. If only he stays fit...

He is capable of playing in the Championship when on form, but he gets injured far too often.
A blessing in disguise for us really. Nobody else wants to take the risk so we keep him!

If he stays fit he will be key in us staying up.

Migs was out of this world. True stunning performance, just ripped City open again and again.

Fallon, Bouazza, Smith and Ifil were all top class as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Miglioranzi pulls the strings, when he plays well we play well.

Migs impressed me no end. Got stuck in as well which has been my only criticism of him before. Jerel played well, but did lose concentration once or twice, and Heaton was imense. Liked it when Heaton blocked off the player to win a goal kick! Thought Roberts changed the game a bit when he was brought on as well. All in all a good team performance, can't really fault anyone.

solid midfield, solid back four and a strike partnership that ran circles round Shitty

Anyone agree Nicho is the most improved player this season?Last night;
 Heaton 9-would have been 10 but for some dodgy kicking
  Smith 8-solid performance
  Ifil 7 Tackling 1st class,distribution still erratic
  O'Hanlon 8-Looked like a skipper at last
  Nicholas 9-Very near MOM for me
  Mcdermott 7-much improved from last time i saw him,really good finish-top celebration too.
  Migz 8- 1st half 10,less influential 2nd half
  Pook7-worked hard ,won loads of posession
  Gurney 6-clever free kick for 1st goal,gave too much ball away though for me
  Bouazza 8-My 1st sight of him,well impressed-strong,quick and a real handful
  Fallon9-Mom for me,quality goal and some good defending too
  Roberts 7-did well,1 brilliant run and set up for Bouazza.

i agree about nicho, i also agree about ifil and some of his passes
