[Silverhatch]

Stephens MOTM.

Honourable mentions for Norwood and Bong.

Everyone played well including 3 top notch saves from Stockdale.

 

[Marshy]

Baldock mom

 

[timbha]

special mention for Duffy - what a tackle in the 2nd half - sometimes you have to show who is boss.

Stephens MOM though

four comments:
1. did knockaert try a rabona in the last minute? if so that was unnecessary
2. thought we won just about every header. ? very impressive
3. it was never a red card.
4. some cracking passing by norwood

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Stockdale 8 a couple of great saves.
Bong 8 untroubled in defence and linked well with March and Murphy.
Dunk 9. Imperious. Such an incredible player
Duffy 8.5. Solid as always. Can't believe I doubted the logic of his signing.
Bruno 7.5. Not at his best. But still a joy to watch
Knockaert 8. Skill and graft, a legend. Found the celebration a bit OTT though.
Stephens 8.5. Back to his best. Commanding
Norwood 8. Disappointed that he gets the nod over Differs, but he put in a sterling performance.
March. 8.5. Terrifying pace at times. Scared the crap out of their right back. He is the final piece in the promotion jigsaw

Baldock 9.5 MOTM. Great goal, bought the red card, with clever play. Great player.
Murray. 8.5 good defensive play today... Helped out when QPR were trying to get back in to the game. Convincing penno.

Murphy 7.5. Game was already done but showed what he can do.
Skalak 6 not much he could offer
Hemed 6.5 decent effort

1. did knockaert try a rabona in the last minute? if so that was unnecessary

Knockaert can be very frustrating but we were 3-0 up in the last minute, at home against ten men. Why not express yourself in that situation?

[Kalimantan Gull]

Everyone very generous on Stephens, he's only getting a 6 from me, that 25 minute period when QPR dominated was because we lost control of the midfield and I thought Stephens was very poor then, considering his stature in our team and his importance at getting on the ball.

Norwood was wonderful on the ball today. Off it, not so much

Seriously? Because he's a professional and it's a bit disrespectful, he's paid alot of money and because it was a good opportunity and goal difference can be pretty important eg 15/16 championship table

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Really hard to pick out a man of the match today, too many contenders. Really strong team performance.

 

[Skaville]

Seriously? Because he's a professional and it's a bit disrespectful, he's paid alot of money and because it was a good opportunity and goal difference can be pretty umportant eg 15/16 championship table

Our goal difference is 12 better than Fulham, the next best side and 23 better than Reading's

 

[Two Professors]

Thought Bong was getting back to his form of last season,particularly after his tackle in the area.

[30209]

Our goal difference is 12 better than Fulham, the next best side and 23 better than Reading's

...and 3 worse than newcastle who it's not inconceivable we may be competing for second with (or even the title).

and yes it's 12 better than fulham but it won't be that much if they catch us up on points.

 

[Mayonaise]

Best performance of season by Bong.

Baldock MOM for me - work rate and contribution at the business end was phenomenal today. Oh and what a goal!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Great to see all the 8's for Stockdale. Didn't have huge amounts to do, but at pivotal moments he was totally switched on with the reflexes of a CAT

The lesser spotted bed wetter!

The lesser spotted bed wetter!

Hardly wetting the bed about it. My exact word was "unnecessary" and then when questioned i justified why i said that
