Watched on the stream but it was a bit hard to pick out who was who..
Can anyone that went to the match give out some player ratings?
Can anyone that went to the match give out some player ratings?
Can be bothered to do them all, but Buckley was very very impressive again, Vincelot looks an excellnet buy, very very tidy player, Dunk and Greer played okay, buy were below Sats performance, Noone caused problems all night without any real end result, Casper was very quiet and had little to do, Dicker was poor in the first half, and very lucky not to give another goal away. Mackail-Smith was non exisitent, and the referee was once again shockingly poor. Fat little ****
Casper 7 - heart in mouth time when he came out of his box early, thankfully Painter (?) was covering the line, did well in a not too busy for him game.
Calderon 7.5 - better than saturday, more comfortable, still hard working and constantly available.
Painter 7.5 - very good, effective performance, alert to dangers and positioned well accordingly.
Dunk 8 - Another very good performance, you can't tell he's only playing because of injuries to el abd and elphick.
Greer 7 - Far too many errant passes today. Not up to his usual standard, but otherwise solid.
Dicker 7 - a few loose passes early on, but generally solid, and a few good blocks, and worked hard
Bridcutt 8 - Very effective, worked hard, linked up play from all parts of the midfield.
Vincelot 8 - Very good debut, worked hard, created, linked well, and looked to have the strength to hold the ball up even after an energy sapping run late in the game.
Noone 8 - Very positive contribution to the game, needs to release the ball sooner, trying to take on one man too many, or cut back one more time, but can put in some great crosses and of course has pace to scare defendors
Buckley 8 - Had great strength, positive going forward, makes things happen. Great addition to the team
Barnes 7 - Playing he solo role up front isn't the best way to use him, but he did decent enough. Can seem as if he wants the ball to sit perfectly before he'll shoot, but I think his clean through chance today (and the one on one on saturday) just weren't sitting for him quickly enough. Confident penalty, dispatched with decisiveness.
Overall we thoroughly deserved the win. I thought our dominance should have seen more chances, but gillingham were well organised and quite stubborn. They seemed to tire and despair leading to some untidy (to say the least) challenges.

Noone and Buckley excellent. Calde back to his best. Impressive debut by Vincelot. Dunk forming a good partnership with Greer.
Thought that generally we were just about ok, nothing special.
Buckley was good, Vincelot looked very promising, thought Barnes lacked a bit and Dicker was again poor got caught in possession too much, Didn't think Dunk was as good last night and at this rate of a booking every game we will need a deputy for him by the end of August. Needless booking last night pulling player back by his failure to control the ball and deal with it hence allowing the attacker to dispossess him. Other than that he was ok but not so self assured as Saturday.
