Jensen 6 - Did what he needed to do solidly, well screened by those in front of him
Sorensen 7 - outlet as always but defended well also which was heartening
Mitchell 7.5 - Derby forwards were harassed all game
Jackson 8 - calm, classy, read the game and marshalled superbly
Roughan 7 - sold defending. Formation suits him better and takes the pressure off his attacking limitations
Erhahon 7 - won the midfield battle
Bishop 7 - a bit in and out but some much needed drive and impetus from him
Hackett 6 - got his feet tangled up a bit but will be all the better for another hour
Hamilton 7.5 - midfield engine room, box to box stuff
Draper 7 - did a man's job, defenders knew Lincoln now have a forward line
Taylor 7 - Cashin last seen booking into a therapy session with his sports psychologist. Got his (home) opening night nerves out of the way. When he stops trying so hard the goals will start to go in.

Duffy 6.5 - we already knew he can whip in a pretty mean delivery. Corners anyone?
 
Jensen - 6 what he had to do did well, better goal kicks ! kept it within the white lines !
Sorensen - 6 not his best day but as ever put everything into it
Mitchell - 8 , can we try to sign him please, tough to get the better of
Jackson - 8.5, you will not get passed me ! made it look easy
Roughan - 7 , did what he had to do, got rid of it at the right times
Erhahon, 7.5, class player calmed the midfield
Bishop, 7, lasted 90 minutes ! some good forward runs
Hackett - 6 , getting back to match fitness, turned back too often
Hamilton - 6.5 , good going forward and excellent free kick
Draper - 7.5 , we have a centre forward, gave their 5 no peace
Taylor- 7.5 , quick ! he will score a lot for us, not his day in front of goal
Duffy - 6, pacy , can deliver a great cross

No weak links yesterday
 
Jensen 6 never looked troubled. But please sort your kicking out!
Sorensen 6 it would be a 10 every week if it was just for effort. But cannot pass the ball and gave it away on several occasions. And please don't take anymore corners.
Mitchell 8 big strong solid display a loan player but fully committed to the cause.
Jackson 8.5 what a season this guy is having. Heads, blocks and thwarted there attack but always seems calm. Great leader as well.
Roughan 7 game of 2 halves looked a bit lacking in confidence first half but different player second half and wax excellent.
Erhahon 7 did what we know he can do and took a grip on midfield. Skoobs seems to be playing him a bit deeper in front of the defence and he seems to be revelling in it.
Bishop 6 another full game and got stuck in more than usual. I wonder if Ted could have a dgo at taking corners?
Hackett 6 looked really good first 15 mins but obviously lack of match fitness caught up with him. Once fully back to fitness he will be an I portent player for us.
Hamilton 7 Mr duracel bunny never stops running. Would hate to have to mark him in a game. Was everywhere.
Draper 7.5 At last some physical presence up front. Gave both centre backs a hard time. Excellent hold up play which prevented the ball coming back at us all the time which has been happening all season. Not all his lay offs came off but super pass to Taylor for the one cleared off the line.
Taylor 6.5 blistering pace at last. Something else we have lacked all season. Would have scored more but should have taken at least one of his chances.
Duffy 6.5 did really well when he came on. It makes so much difference when you have a decent subs bench.
 
Jensen 6 solid
Sorensen 7 one of our most consistent players...beautiful interception and control near the end.
Mitchell 8 Bossy type of Alamo performance.
Jackson 8 Class timing in aerial contests, even had time to put in a cross in the second half
Roughan 7 Extra point as he had to put in a shift against Mendez Laing.
Erhahon 7.5 Rolls Royce
Bishop 7 Looked more comfortable in this game.
Hackett 6.5 Good last 30 mins last week, good opening 20 this week. Trickery tripped him up a few times yesterday.
Hamilton Tip top engine 8.5
Draper 8.5 MOM See comments on MOM thread. Crying out for a CF performance like this for 3-4 seasons.
Taylor 7 A bit of a curates egg, first 20 looked out of sorts, exploded into life and got fans off their seats. Needed to bury on of those chances, but let's see what happens to his 'chances to goal ratio'. He actually made 3 of the 5 chances himself, although there were 2 reasonable passes, prevoius strikers would never have converted them into shots on goal. Very Pacey & Promising.

Duffy 7 Kept the left hand supply line going.
 
Jensen: 6.5 Made some decent saves, well protected by Erhahon and the defence.
Sorensen: 7 If he could develop a final ball, he would be worth oodles.
Mitchell: 8.5 MOM. Won everything, was everywhere; at only just 22, we should bust a gut to get him.
Jackson: 8 Experience shows; it showed. Along with Mitchell, restricted Collins to two real efforts on goal.
Roughan: 7 Terrific second half in particular against some top L1 opponents.
Erhahon: 7 Played the Bridcutt role in front of the centre backs and protected our goal very well; hope he is ok after that 'tackle'.
Bishop: 6.5 Good first half, faded in the second; was surprised to see him finish the game but perhaps that is key to his rehabilitation.
Hackett: 6.5 As per Bishop; can't wait for him to be fully fit again. I have a feeling he and Taylor will be lethal.
Hamilton: 8 Had too much drive and energy for Derby's midfield.
Draper: 8 Derby's central defence will not have a harder game all season. Nineteen? You're having a laugh! Great physicality, the like of which we haven't had since Rhead.
Taylor: 7.5 Quiet game until he suddenly sprang into life with those two self-created opportunities; the run was outstanding. Too much strength and pace for a ponderous Derby side - did you see Hugill's goal for Burton on Monday?

Duffy: 6.5 Slotted in seamlessly, the best crosser of a ball we have alongside Hackett.
 
Watched live and again on ifollow a really enjoyable game. Felt like we had more possession than the game stats suggested. What mind blowing crazy stat I heard this morning was we haven't won on a Saturday since September, just looked and Sep 30 was the last HOME win on a Saturday (Cheltenham), the only Saturday win since then was Fleetwood away 21 October 🤯

Jensen - 6 wasn't overly tested thanks to the back line
Sorensen - 6 formation doesn't suit him, he's not a right back and was restricted yesterday
Mitchell - 7 flat footed a couple of times but a warrior at the back
Jackson - 8 Brilliant
Roughan - 6.5 a very steady day hopefully the mid season wobble is long gone
Erhahon, 7.5 so important to us playing well, adds composure to the midfield
Bishop, 6 did nothing wrong, didn't really do much right, pretty well forgot he was on the pitch both times I watched
Hackett - 6 , did OK some nice passages of play but not unexpectedly tired very quickly in the second half
Hamilton - 6.5 , industrious as always
Draper - 7.5 , brilliant stuff from both forwards and what is most delightful if that their differences compliment the other, if they stay fit we could have some fun times ahead
Taylor- 7.5 , as above
Duffy - 6, settled well into the pace of the game which is not always easy
 
Jensen 7 Not a great deal to do, but felt his distribution was better now he had Draper to aim for.
Sorensen 7.5 Looks much more at home at RB than he does in midfield.
Mitchell 8 Solid as a rock - Paudie will struggle to get his place back. Hard on TJ too.
Jackson 9 Best player for me. A captain's performance and showed the experience that MS says he needs in his team.
Roughan 7.5 Decent game and a great opportunity to make the LB position his own.
Erhahon 7.5 Back to close to his best
Bishop 6.5 Struggled to get in the game and I expect an experience central midfielder to be brought in. We can then use Bishop from the bench.
Hamilton 8.5 Best midfielder and an all-action performance

Hackett 7 Coming back to full fitness, which will be a bonus.
Draper 8.5 Showed how much he has developed in the past year. Just about the only example for many years of our loan system actually working. Has come back a more than solid target man.
Taylor 7.5 Amazing speed, but for a proven goalscorer - however young he is at 21 - he should have put one of his chances away.

Duffy 7. One excellent cross. Tends to drift infield too much for my liking. To get the best out of him he needs to play as wide left as possible.

Live in the stadium.

Jensen 6.5
Wasn't overly tested. Handling was good again and I did notice a slight improvement in his kicking, namely he drove the ball instead of his usual scooping it up in the air which would of been a nightmare into the wind.

Sorrenson 7
If he had an extra half a yard of pace he would be worth a fortune. Could never question his commitment to the cause but lacks quality going forward. Also his corners were terrible, he kept over hitting them but in general did ok.

Mitchell 8.5
Got to try our hardest to sign this guy permanently. Gives nothing less than a 100% everytime he plays. Made some amazing blocks and was a rock in the centre of defence. I rate him above O'Connor.

Jackson 9
This guy is Mr consistent. Didn't put a foot wrong yesterday. A brilliant display alongside Mitchell.

Roughan 7
I don't think he's a left back but he's not going to get in at centre back in a 4.
To be fair I though t he had a good game against a difficult opponent.

Erhahon 7
Did well in front of the back 4.
Distributed the ball well.

Bishop 6.5
Did some ok things.
Pleased to see him last the 90 minutes.

Hackett 6.5
Some positive touches.
Still working back to full match fitness.

Hamilton 7.5
Never fails to put a shift in.
Worked hard in the midfield.

Draper 8
Showed great strength against experienced defenders. He's a bit different to the modern day strikers. Absolutely ideal to play in a 2 up front. Can hold the ball up and bring other players into play and competes in the air.

Taylor 7.5
Wasn't really involved in the first 20-25 minutes then someone flicked his after burner switch. Had no idea he had the kind of pace he has. Left a very experienced defender for dead for pace on 3 occasions and that was running with the ball, which is a very difficult skill to do. Real shame at least one of them didn't go in but surely his pace is a major weapon and is something we have to work into our game plan to expose opposition defenders.

Duffy 6
Had a good half hour.
Put one excellent cross in but needs to hug the line and we get the ball out to him.
 
Jensen - 6 Didn’t get involved much, inconspicuous at times, was ok when called upon. Barely raised a sweat.
Sorensen - 6.5 Enjoyed being wider, got forward but has pace to get back. Poorer corners and crossing than at Wycombe.
Mitchell - 7 Good after first ten minutes, best game I have seen him play.
Jackson - 8 Captain fantastic, knows his limitations, makes time, superb positioning.
Roughan - 7 More confident once he realised he could cope with their wide attack.
Erhahon - 7 Shielded the ball and kept possession when necessary. Some lovely balls when others made space.
Bishop - 6.5 One of our best players first half, he has class. Good to see him get a rare 90 minutes.
Hackett - 6.5 Eased himself into the gamed and paced himself. A few lovely touches.
Hamilton - 8 The combative work horse, was here, there and everywhere. The supreme harrier.
Draper - 8 What an animal. Given no respect at the start, within 15 minutes they realised he was a huge threat to the Derby defence. Great hold up play and deft passing.
Taylor;- 7.5 Would have been MoM if he had put one of his chances away. How great to have real pace in the team. Made Cashin look pedestrian.

Duffy - 6 Initially lacked a decent first touch but once established held his own and got two good crosses in.

At the game, also just seen the extended highlights. We should have won! Great point nontheless against one of the divisions form teams - with another to come.
Jensen 7- did all he needed to, sound handling.
Sorensen 7 - can be a worry defensively as an RB but did well, some poor passing let him down.
Mitchell 8 - block, head away, repeat. One vital burst of pace, commitment throughout. But he's not Championship class, Millwall need to release him.
Jackson 8 - block, head away, repeat. And one super cross! Memo to MS - if Jacko is on the pitch, Jacko has the armband. Leader.
Roughan 7 - guilty of allowing his winger too much space to receive long diagonal passes, but defended well otherwise and nice link up with Duffy for the non-penalty.
Erhahon 7.5 - more of the "Bridcutt" role to cover the back 4 and did it superbly.
Bishop 7.5 - extra half point for the full 90+; worked well in the formation, now if Teddy can string several matches together...
Hackett 7 - rusty, and tiring before subbed, one good run and shot and more to come as match fitness improves
Hamilton 8 - only lack of pace will stop him becoming a Championship player. Competitive throughout, one terrific twist and turn run - and avoided a booking!
Draper 8 - strong, clever, skillful, poorly served by ref. My MoTM.
Taylor 8 - on another day, he could have had 3. Terrific pace, made a good, experienced defence look like donkeys. Better decision making on finishing and more luck and he'll start to score and signs that the coaching for that has started already.

Duffy 7.5 - not a bad replacement for Reeco, good runs, Taylor will thrive on low driven crosses but one accurate lofted one nearly worked.

Was at the game, certainly think it was a great 0-0 spectacle. Must say though we could have and should have won really. More performances like this and we may still sneak into the playoffs, unlikely but not a million miles away. Honestly think if the lads up front score early against Peterborough, we may shock a few people next week. Anyway:

Jensen 6.5- did ok, looked good overall and distribution better

Sorensen 7 - Thought he did well and this position is def his best. Just would like to see a better end result to his work.

Mitchell 9 - Magnificent. You can take the boy out of Millwall, but you cant take Millwall out of the boy. Quality player, tough as nails and so fast. Only 22... Jeez how good is he going to become

Jackson 9 - What a quality defender and Captain in wait. Him and Mitchell work so well together. He was brilliant this week... again. Mitchell and Jacko are so good together. Jacko IMO getting better and better every week.

Roughan 7 - Did very well in that defensive part of the game. Like him here and will get better given time. Think TJ may come in here but for now I would keep things as they are.

Erhahon 7.5 - Another super performance and worked so hard as he always does

Bishop 7.5 - Better in the centre that's for sure. Thought he put in a good shift today and makes a big difference supporting the Ethans

Hackett 6.5 - Expectations were very high after last week. Did well, bit rusty but so good going forward. Passing was a bit wayward at times but frightens defenders and always looking to attack. Hes quality

Hamilton 7.5 - Same as Erhahon. Worked hard and good solid game. Surprised he was in the team of the week on his own, not that he shouldn't be in, but thought if he was in then at least 3 of ours should have been. But seeing that the Derby CB Cashin got in then it made me realise what a load of nonsense the selection process for that is.

Draper 8 - Only 19, wow. Going to be very good in time. He's strong that's for sure . Its exciting to see how he's come on from last year. I thought he was very good indeed and watching him playing with his back against the goal against some good experienced players, I genuinely thought he looked at home and not intimidated at all.

Taylor 7 - Thought he was quiet at first, but that pace is incredible and he will be a nightmare for CBs this season. Have to be honest though, he should have scored and as good as he was today, if he'd have got one he'd be an 8 for me.... but he didn't, so he's not.

Duffy 6.5 -did ok when he came on. good replacement for me but not a stater yet.
