Jensen 9 Amazingly for a 5-0 win, Lukas kept us in the game. Superb.
Sorensen 8 Created two goals and solid defensively too
Mitchell 7.5 Not as good as in previous weeks as we were open down the middle a little too often
O'Connor 8 As above, extra half point for the best worked corner for several years.
Roughan 7.5 A above, but Sean is making that position his own.
Hackett 7.5 Not quite at his best today.
Erhahon 7.5 Superb apart from the silly two yellows.
Mandroiu 8 At last we have found Danny's best position, and Danny has found the attitude to make the most of it.
Moylan 7 Worked really hard, but won't score every week from that position.
Taylor 9.5 Excellent hat trick. We need to make the most of him while we have him.
Makama 9 Best performance for us ever. Finally got the message about working hard and closing down at pace.
Draper 5.5 Does not look anywhere near fit. Now behind Makama in the battle for House's spot when Ben is not fit.

Jensen 9 Four or five terrific blocks/saves in the first half was the key to our win today. The match would have been a very different beast without his excellence
Sorensen 8 two fantastic assists for Taylor. Energy all match
Mitchell 7.5 Stood tall throughout. One exceptional reached defensive header then immediate block just before half time.
O'Connor 8.5 Great headed goal and I lost count of the number of similar clearances he did at the back. A captain's performance
Roughan 8 One dodgy pass aside very good. Some excellent tackles including the one which was given as a penalty
Hackett 7 Little bit isolated today but a good finish for goal 5
Erhahon 7 Was playing superbly again, but needs to stop picking up silly bookings for dissent/kicking the ball away
Mandroiu 7.5 Needs to remain in this role. It suits him
Moylan 7 Little quieter than the last two games
Taylor 9 What a difference having a goalscorer makes. Fine game
Makama 8 And what a difference having a partner makes for Jovon. Probably his best game in a City shirt and Taylor's second should have been his for the great control and shot which brought a fine save from their keeper
Draper 6 Seemed to struggle to get into the pace of the game. Still suffering from his injury I suspect.

Jensen 8, a number of one on one stops
Sorensen 8, made two of Taylors goals, all action
Mitchell, 7, commitment , solid
O'Connor 8.5, commanding and a goal !
Roughan 8, the odd dodgy pass, but generally solid and some great passes
Hackett 7, quieter than usual but always dangerous
Erhahon 7, was 8+ until daft bookings, need to cut these out
Mandroiu 8, position suits him, ran for the team
Moylan 6.5, taking a breather
Taylor 9, quick, dangerous, and scores
Makama 8.5 , really upped his game, harried and chased just like House
Draper, 6, unfit, not his fault. Two weeks to recover.

Jensen 9
4 quality saves in the first half and sound handling throughout.
Sorensen 8
2 assists in Taylors hatrick.
Mitchell 7.5
Committed defender. Hope the rumour is true that we are trying to sign him.
O'Connor 8
Commanding performance and a headed goal from a corner.
Roughan 8
One poor pass that led to one of their chances but in general played well.
Hackett 7
Not involved as much today but still managed to get on the scoresheet.
Erhahon 7
Was playing well again but needs to eradicate the petulant behaviour. Wasn't a penalty against him but it was the first stupid booking that got him sent off.
Mandroiu 7.5
What, so nobody actually knew where he would be most effective and what would be his best position in the team was considering the type of player he is.
Surely nobody seriously thought his best position was the left side of midfield where Kennedy wasted him.
Moylan 7
Having 17 of his mates over from Ireland he would of wanted a performance as of last week but didn't quite reach those heights. Lucky to stay on the pitch in the end after having a ridiculous wild hack at one of their players.
Taylor 9
A lesson in finishing.
Probably added another 250 grand to his price this last week.
Makama 7.5
His new boots did the trick.
Best game he's had for us.
Still a lot to learn but much improved from a few short months ago.
Them gloves need to go though.
Draper 6
Strange how he is making the bench and getting on if he is not fit. We know how closely they are monitored. Has a good break now to get fully recovered and back up to the levels he was at a few weeks back.

Jensen 9 - Brilliant display to keep another clean sheet.
Sorensen 8 - Tore them apart at times, two assists.
Mitchell 7 - Quality last third defender but cut apart by their quick counter attacks.
O'Connor - 8.5 Playing like a captain who believes he can lead the team up. Defended well, and scored a goal that meant a lot to him.
Roughan 7.5 - More confident and fitter by the game, one dreadful pass but generally played well.
Hackett 7.5 - Worked the pitch without providing too much, such determination for his individual goal.
Erhahon 7 - Silly booking, then in the refs ear, then sent off. In between he is superb; must be so frustrating for a manager.
Mandroiu 8 - Playing well, enjoying his position and his football. Good display
Moylan 7 - Not as involved as in previous games. Teams know who he is now.
Taylor 9 - We have a natural right place, right time goal scorer. Great game.
Makama 8 - Good to see him develop and get stuck in. Fantastic shot which became an assist for Taylor.
Draper 6 - Battled but well off the pace.

Jensen - 9 - Brilliant game. If not for him it could have gone either way as we let Bristol to create far too many clear chances.
Sorensen - 8 - He is getting better and better.
Mitchell - 7 - Solid
O'Connor - 8 - As above plus goal
Roughan - 7 - Good game.
Hackett - 7 -
Erhahon - 6 - Class as always but that wasn't greatest challenge. There was no need for it. His suspension might be costly.
Mandroiu - 8 - Getting the best of him in this position.
Moylan - 7 - Didn't get time and space like in previous games. Still decent performance.
Taylor - 9 - Fantastic striker performance. Scoring in every possible way just like striker should. Brilliant loan.
Makama - 7 - Better than usual.
Draper 6 - Shadow of a player we know he can be. Looks like not fit to play.
Sorensen - 8 - He is getting better and better.

Attended game
Jensen 8.5 - three very good saves in the first half, safe hands
Sorensen 8 - two superb assists, had a good game
Mitchell 6.5 - was exposed at times
O'Connor 7.5 - Decent header for the goal, defended okay
Roughan 7.5 - Good coverage and defended well
Hackett 7 - Good finish for the goal and unlucky when hitting the post
Erhahon 6.5 - Had quite a decent game but two unnecessary yellows may cost us in time
Mandroiu 7 - Another decent game in his new role
Moylan 6 - Unlike in previous games it didn't quite work out for him
Taylor 9 - Superb and caused their defence a real headache
Makama 7 - Unlucky when shot tipped onto bar leading to third goal, had some good moments
Draper 6 - Didn't look 100% but tried to get involved

Jensen. 9. Almost faultless.
Sorensen. 8. 2 quality assists.
Mitchell. 7. Solid
OConnor 7.5 won most things in the air. Good goal
Roughan. 7 mostly sound but continues to have total brain fart moments like the suicide pass infield.
All 3 defenders looked solid but somehow Rovers played through us to create a few clear openings.
Hackett 7. Continued the good form.
Erhahon 7. Cut the petulance you soft lad.
Mandy. 8.5 Inspired positional move, making us really tick at the moment. He gets the ball deep and as a fan you expect something good to happen and most times it did. Capable of dictating play as Jorge Grant did when he switched to play deeper.
Moylan 7. Not quite the highs from his last 2 games but showed good signs.
Makama 7.5. Best start in a City shirt. Picked up what House does and didn’t disappoint . Almost scored a deserved goal. Part of a front 2 is so much better for him.
Taylor. 9. Starting to play with a swagger and the confidence that goals bring. 3 poacher goals and harried their defence into panic stations.
Draper 5.5. Needs a confidence boost and better fitness to displace Makama on current form
