MK Dongalds match ratings

[Piemonte]

No-one seems to do this anymore so thought I'd take it upon myself to start

Brezovan - 7  - Didnt have much to do really, but did what he had to do with confidence. good to see no signs of Wrexham affecting him

J Smith  - 7  - A reasonable game before getting injured. Should take our penalties - by far the best pen of the season, and we've had a few now.

Nicholas - 8 - Had a good game I thought. did well going forward when he had the chance and won several crucial headers at the far post.
Especially one in the last few minutes where he threw himself at the ball and got clattered after winning it. impressive commitment.

Ifil - 8.5 MOTM - A great defensive performance from the beast. marked him down by 0.5 for some uneccessary hoofs in the 2nd half

Williams - 8 - A steadying inflence at the back. We miss him when he dosnt play.

Weston - 6 - Was disapoinmting for me. Didnt offer much going forward and gave the ball away too much. Some nicley timed tackles though

Caton -7- Thought he looked a bit lost at times, and drifted out of the game too easily.  A couple of really strong runs though, obviously including the one for the 2nd pen.

Ince - 7 - As someone else said on another thread, he did a passable impression of Pook in the 1st 20 mins as the game totally bypassed him. Got better as the game went on though, and I think it would be easy to overlook the mental influence he had on the team.  

Evans - 7 - Seemed a bit confused by playing alongside Ince at 1st but then settled into a standard all action Evo performance. I love this man. Shit pen though - How can he score 40 yard free kicks but struggle from the spot??

Peacock - 7 - Typical peacock performance, worked his arse off. Ref constantly penalised him for seemingly legitimate challenges

Roberts - 7 - Again worked hard, and should have won 2 pens in my view. looked knackered by 70 mins though

Shakes - 6 - Did alright at right back again. Looks like he might start there on sat.

Wise - 8 - Got the team selection right. We needed a battling performace against an aggresive side like dongs.

Allen & Whitbread - 1 - Pathetic attempts to influence the ref throughout the whole game. A right pair of cunts.

The Ref - 4 - Seemed intent on not giving us a pen at one stage.( I still think we should have had 4)  Some other slightly mystifying decisions.

Brezovan-7-no chance for the goal ,always looks solid a few dodgy kicks though,seemed confused at the end when everyone was shouting and waving on the bench , i think we all wer?

J,Smith-7-good penalty suprised he took it ,shame he had to come off

Nicholas-7-looked solid and above all looked like he belonged in his posistion

Iffl-8- really solid, never looked like being out fought by a big and strong Franchise forward line,same old problem does the hard bit by winning the ball then hoofs it.but people just accept it now instead of getting on his back.

Williams-7-overshadowed by iffls performance very steady and dosent make many mistakes

Weston-7-i really like him,works so hard for the team ,some hard tackles and could of easily been out muscled because of his size last night,but stood up well only thing to let him down is his distrubution at times.

Caton-6-six a little harsh but driffted in and out of the game, great run for the penalty and look foward to seeing him progress

Ince-6-off the pace to start with, got better as the game progressed , his class shows at times, over the hill or more to come time will tell

Evans-5-batteled well like most of the team,just didnt get the ball down and play it and was largely inaffective,didnt help that the game was played in the air.1 funny thing i noticed evans stands just behind the ball and lines up the wall for Brezovan on free kicks.

peacock+roberts-6.5- they worked hard found chances hard to come by.peacock maybe should of scored with a header.

Shakes-6-i feel he loses his attacking instincs when he goes right back, mostly in fear of getting caught out of posistion.a little shakey.babum

overall a draw might have been more fair because i didnt see all the chances wise spoke about.All that mattered last night is that we won and beat mkd.a good battlin performance and a great win.

Brezovan - 6 - Didnt have anything to do

Smith - 7 - Looked solid and didnt let Dyer cause him any problems despite him being one of MKs better player

Ifil - 8 - The Beast is back, and was, is and always will be much better than Sean O'Hanlon

Williams - 8 - The leader back to his leading self, he needs to stay fit all season

Nicholas - 7 - Perfer him at left back as opposed to centre back

Weston - 6 - In and out of the game

Caton - 6 - Like Weston in and out of the game. Looked very dangerous going running forward.

Ince - 6 - Clearly not match fit, better to come I hope

Evans - 6 - Got stuck in and battled hard, didnt display his range of passing enough

Peacock - 6 - Worked his bollocks off but wasnt getting anything in the air with Diallo

Roberts - 6 - Also worked bloody hard with very little reward

[DMR]

Strikers were shite, everyone else worked hard enough. Super central defending.

[reeves4england]

Brezovan 7 - Made easy saves and claimed crosses. Poor marking for the goal and nothing he could do to stop it

Smith 7 - great penalty

Ifil 8 - Immense

Williams 7

Nicho 7 - got forward well and there were not many crosses getting in past him

Weston 6 - not sure about him on the wing

Evans 7 - bit shakey at times but some great passing and his footballing intelligence really makes a difference

Ince 6 - not match fit but made some good strong challenges

Caton 7 - good control and took players on

Peacock - 6 should have scored the header. Refs seem to punish him for nothing

Roberts - 6 Worked hard. Should have had atleast ONE penalty if not two. Didn't have many clear chances if any at all

Evans was awesome - put himself about, got the ball down, got stuck in - often made up for ince's lack of fitness - whoever gave him a 5 needs to be shot!!!

Thought Smith was awesome before coming off so would give him an 8 - rest of them fair does... Caton definitely better than a six...

on reflection 5 was a bit harsh, but he wasnt awesome
