Sick Note
Stockdale - 7 - Apart from one dodgy kick, did what he needed to do
Bruno - 7.5 - Got forward well and linked with Knocky - tired before being replaced
Duffy - 8 - Outstanding in the air, and I think his signing is in no small part related to our weakness at defending set pieces
Dunk - 8 - what we come to expect now.
Bong - 7 - don't think he was as bad as people were saying, made one awful cross when in space, but mostly was good both defending and attacking
Stephens - 7.5 - dominated the midfield even though he and Kayal were outnumbered
Kayal - 7.5 - see above
Murphy - 6 - made very little impact in the hole - disappointing
Skalák - 6.5 - some great crosses but didn't impose himself enough
Knockaert - 7 - got increasingly frustrated, and not much he did came off - but ultimately his run and skill was the match winner.
Hemed - 6.5 - weak shots (apart from one thunderous half volley) - however, I didn't want anyone else to take the pen and never had any doubt he would score it.
Subs
Murray 5 - poor, looked lethargic when he came on
Hunt - 7 - got forward well and was unlucky with a cut back - defended when he needed to - pleasing to see
Norwood - N/A - When most of us were asking for Manu to inject pace - this sub seemed strange. I can only think CH was hoping he would "unlock" a resolute defence with a killer pass.
Overall we dominated without ever looking truly threatening.. early last season this would have been a 0-0 so it's a good sign we managed to nick the points.
