Proves my point about a keepers efforts not being held as often pivotal to a winning performance, just the attack being unlucky.
Rovers didn't dominate the second half though, they came out the break well.

Great performance.
At 2-0 I thought it would be between the two of them. A lot of kuszczak's saves were distance shots that were comfortable, with a few great saves thrown in, Barnes worked hard, played a part in all three goals (he got the ball down their flank and laid it off to Conway who crossed for Forster-Caskey). I expected them to give it to Barnes because it is frequently given to the one who scored or who scored most, but personally I would have given it to kuszczak, but I don't think it is the great upset that it has been at times.
Today made me realise what little he's had to do this season.
Great game by Tommy.

Kuszczak deserved it today. A string of saves and even caught a cross or two. Overall he should have been the man of the match.
The last time I remember a keeper being MOTM was Michel, vs Blackpool backs in the early 00s.

Kuszczak clearly man of the match. Sometimes you wonder which game the sponsors are watching.

Kuszczak has made me nervous a few times this season but today he was outstanding and back to his best, deserved M.O.M today.

Simply brilliant work from from him today, and I loved the reaction when the early deflection went wide. "Not again" is written all over his face if you watch the highlights.
Think his best save came towards the end of the game, where he managed to get up to what looked like a complete no hoper.

As others have said and as I posted on the ratings thread, I think most of his saves were pretty standard for a GK. They had lots of shots from distance that you'd expect a decent keeper to save. They didn't carve out many clear cut chances apart from the free header in the 1st, @coldeanseagull has it spot on I think: it's almost giving them too much credit by giving PIG the motm because anyone can keep shooting from long distance.
We created proper chances in the box, took them and that's why we had 3 goals to their none.

Agree entirely. He was fantastic, but not MOM.

And it's all gone quiet..
From where I was sitting, none of the saves looked that demanded. Good, yes, but nothing out of this world. Ash was my MOTM today, held the ball up as well as he ever has, good penalty and a poacher's finish.
For the record, I think all the players had great games today.

In my opinion any other Albion keeper that has played at the amex would probably have let two of them in today.
Mom for me.

He was their best player by a mile. A real threat and you sensed danger every time he got on the ball. Wouldn't mind him down here.

Capable of creating havoc every time he got the ball
