Logan - 5 - made a couple of good saves, and a couple of easy stops, some of the defensive mistakes looked like they could have been solved with a call.
Neilson - 7 - I won't rave too much about Neilson, he was solid which was made to look amazing due to the shambles of the rest of our defence. But he took the goal well, could have got another straight after and put in some good crosses. Definitely our best defender on the night.
Hobbs - 3- What is going on? I.. just... what?! I couldn't believe it was the same player.
Moreno (at CB) - 5, (in MF) - 7 - Ok at CB, better in midfield with a few silky touches. Didn't like the look of his injury though.
Kennedy - 5 - patchy
N'Guessan - 5 - usual Danny, hot and cold. Not sure he did much on the wings but cropped up in the box a lot and could have had a couple of goals.
Oakley - 6 - cautiously optimistic, looked better than most of last season.
Wellens - 7 - good goal, worked hard all game.
Gallagher - 7 - I can't help it, I just like him. Some great passes and movement.
Fryatt - 8 - He could have had about a hat-trick by half-time but even watching him miss I felt encouraged as he looked like he just needed one to go in. And then of course two good goals second half.
Howard - 7 - Totally committed, some great build-up play and an animal first half. All of his shots were more than a bit telegraphed though and he looked knackered by the end.
Subs:
Morrison - 6 - Looked good, hopefully Saturday was a one-off for him.
Campbell - 6 - Lively
Verma - 6 - Solid, won some headers and played a few simple passes well. Not sure how he'd do against stronger opposition or on for longer but didn't look out of his depth for the short time he was on in this game.
Overall, shocking defensively but good in attack. Their 'keeper was terrible and we should have scored at least four more. An entertaining game but we looked like conceding every time they came forward (which luckily wasn't too much). We only started properly passing it about 2nd half after we had the two-goal cushion, Logan smacked it long quite a lot. I wouldn't say we were much more of a passing team than we were last season.
Saturday is going to be very interesting, no way are we keeping a clean sheet.
