[Albion] Player Ratings - Newport (a)

[Skaville]

Steele - 5 - yes he was a hero at the end but they’ll feel that extra half an hour on Wednesday
White - 6 - didn’t look comfortable
Dunk - 8 commanding. Massive threat too
Webster - 8 - great game, balls of steel
March - 9 - brilliant goal, good all night
Bissouma - 6 - great first half an hour but really tired
Gross - 6 - typical Gross, tidy if undynamic
Ali J - 6 - will it ever happen?
MacAllister - 5 - just wants to much time on the ball
Maupay - 5 - never looked like scoring, even in the shootout
Zeqiri - 6 - unlucky with that acrobatic effort


Tau - 7 - like. He has something
Propper - 7 - moved the ball well, loving the hair
Veltman - 6 - meh
Bernardo - 4 -awful
Trossard - 3 - wow. I guess we should blame the pitch?

 

[Milano]

I don’t think you can give out marks with the state of that pitch. I know it shouldn’t be an excuse but tonight I think it was, I can’t remember seeing a worse surface at a pro football club in 20 years.

[Doc Lynam]

Please only people who were there.

 

[TheBigUnit]

Please only people who were there.

@Treeman where are you.....

 

[Swansman]

No ratings, not able to in a detailed fashion judge elite footballers from how they play on amateur pitches (even though I love seeing it).

 

[BN9 BHA]

Bissouma - 6 - great first half an hour but really tired

Ali J - 6 - will it ever happen?

Confused with the 6 mark for both players

 

[Tony Towner's Toe]

Please only people who were there.

I heard he was still waiting for the fire brigade to get him down...

 

[A1X]

Steele 7 - Scored him 4 for the game and 10 for the shoot-out, split the difference

White 6 - Offered something useful going forward, didn't have much to do at the back
Dunk 7 - Carried us at times at both ends of the pitch, vital late block in ET
Webster 5 - Didn't do a great deal but did score the winning penalty

Jahanbakhsh 3 - Just a pointless shirt-filler right now
Bissouma 7 - Very good first hour, faded away after that, penalty was awful
Gross 6 - Decent if nothing barnstorming
MacAllister 3 - I genuinely had to look up who had started here, which isn't a good sign
March 9 MOTM - Our most dangerous player all night, deserved to have scored the winner

Maupay 2 - Anonymous performance then another bad penalty, never let him take another
Zeqiri 3 - Didn't do anything of note

Subs;
Trossard 1 - Might as well have played that bloke in the tree
Propper 5 - Did OK, still clearly rusty, good penalty at a crucial moment
Tau 5 - Ran around a lot, had some good chances and fluffed his lines, promise but nothing standout this evening
Bernardo 3 - I struggle to recall anything he did
Veltman 3 - Gave away a few cheap free-kicks in Extra Time which could have cost us

 

[bhawoddy]

Steele - 5 one major cock up.
White - 6 needs to play CB
Dunk - 8 quality, liked our best striker by miles
Webster - 7
March - 6
Bissouma - 8 quality
Mac allister - 6
Gross - 6
AJ - 6
Maupay - 4
Zequiri- 5

 

[The Fits]

March our best player IMHO. Just been superb this season.

 

[Doonhamer7]

Curse of being a goalkeeper- apart from 5second nightmare I thought he did well throughout the game, great penalty saves. ESPN thought Propper was excellent

 

[Skaville]

Confused with the 6 mark for both players

Why? Both were bang average across their entire time on the pitch.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Steele - 7 - Yes he made a mistake, but he redeemed himself with some good saves at the end and penalty heroics.

White - 7 - Play him at CB and he would walk into any team
Dunk - 6 - Couple of mistakes but superb block at the end
Webster - 6 - Don’t blame him for the OG
March - 8 - Excellent

Bissouma - 7 - He is very good
Gross - 5 - In and out
Ali J - 4 - goodbye
MacAllister - 4 - Maybe under a different manager it might work

Maupay - 5- Should never take a penalty ever again but at least it looks he cares
Zeqiri - 4 Looks like he has won a raffle to play, nice effort


Tau -6 - good movement but should have buried his chance
Propper - 7 - could well find a way back into the team
Veltman - 6 - fine
Bernardo - 4 - no confidence
Trossard - 2 - dreadful

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Steele - 5 - Redeemed himself in the shootout, but 2 massive Ricketts which should have lost us the game.
White - 6 - did ok - liked to see him going forward.
Dunk - 8 - On his way back for us, going to need him at his best for the fight.
Webster - 8 - Has come on so much this season.
March - 9 - Class, if we had strikers attacking the box, he would be even better.
Bissouma - 6 - Really great in the first half, but disappeared in the second. Needed Davy to come on.
Gross - 6 - pretty average all night - great penalty though
Ali J - 6 - glimpses, always just ****ing glimpses.
MacAllister - 6 - I hope he sticks around, there's a quality player in there, but not tonight.
Maupay - 5 - devoid of confidence, takes too many touches, when preparing to shoot and always hits the wrong pass when not.
Zeqiri - 6 - Looked more likely to affect the result than Maupay, but that's not really saying much.


Tau - 7 - Looks like the sort of player we need. Hard to know whether he's good enough, but not a bad start.
Propper - 7 - Suspect we have missed Davy far more than any of us have realised. Some good and bad tonight, should have hit the target early on. Superb penalty.
Veltman - 6 - Like a lot, but not much to do tonight
Bernardo - 5 - shit
Trossard - 5 - The over hit passes were seriously pissing me off, then he started getting on the ball and causing some problems. Felt he was getting somewhere and then he hits the shittest penalty of the night. Undoubtedly the most infuriating player in our ranks.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Why? Both were bang average across their entire time on the pitch.

Really?
Ali J was useless
Biss was streets ahead of AJ, even if it wasn’t for the whole match.

 

[Doc Lynam]

I heard he was still waiting for the fire brigade to get him down...

That actually made me laugh.

 

[blue-shifted]

Steele - 5 - Four brilliant penalty saves. But if he makers a routine catch, we win in normal time. We need better back up

Webster - 7 - Carried the ball forward nicely and looked more comfortable than most on the surface
Dunk - 8 - MOM - Terrific last ditch defending and potent threat up front. Like Webby got away with an average pen
White - 2 - Very poor in possession. Offered little up front and shaky in defence. Time out of the team needed.

March - 6 - Lovely finish, until then Newport stifled him effectively. Some poor crossing
Jahanbaksh - 2 - Weak, slow, ineffective, bottled every chance to deliver. Hardly in the game.
Bissouma - 4 - Nowhere near MOM. Dismal penalty and wayward in possession
Gross - 3 - Couldn't exert any influence

McAllister - 3 - Another game where he failed to stamp any authority. His late runs into the area will get him goals in due course, but not ready for the first team
Maupay - 2 - His head is gone. Not doing the basic things a striker needs to do to score. Appalling penalty, hopefully his last for the club.
Zeqiri - 5 - Chased hard, good technique for his first half volley, unlucky to be subbed, though could be starting Wednesday.

Tau - 6 - A threat. Turned and shot in the area. At least someone willing to try
Propper - 3 - Also very loose in possession. Probably our best pen though, which surprised me.
Bernardo - 2 - Gone backwards fast. Sell him on.
Veltman - 4 - Didn't feature much
