Palmer 7- early season Alex back and firing on all cylinders. No real saves but the housekeeping is back in good order.
Poole 7 - still tends to knock a pass back, but keeps the ball live. Sound defensively including one important interception.
Eyoma 7.5- couple of soft fouls apart, sound in defence, good distribution.
Montsma 8 - imperious, deals with the tough ugly defending then strides out of defence, pings out masterful passes and throws in other clever stuff too.
Edun 8 - when he's being our best left back he's not bringing his skills to midfield. Until the second half tonight, when he combined both.
Bridcutt 7.5 - controlled the first half, sniffing and snuffing out danger, lovely dinked cross for the goal. Wrap in cotton wool and deploy when essential.
McGrandles 8 - masterful. MoM. Good enough for Scotland?
Grant 8 - targeted by Shrews, kept cool, influential and hopefully injury free. Showed his range with a headed winning goal.
Rogers 7.5- some terrific runs and his all-round game is developing with some gnarly tacking and defending.
Johnson 7.5 - looked a real threat before injury curtailed his night, hopefully just precautionary.
Morton 8 - transformation into Ginger Hopper continues. We can debate all night if he's happy in that role and if his skills would be better deployed off Hopper rather than being Alternative Hopper, but it's improving his all round game and he's getting rather good at it. Factor in returning from long term injury and covid, it's been a remarkable contribution from the ginger ninja.
Scully 7 - initially anonymous after replacing the sparkling Johnson, he had a good second half with some excellent running and passing on both wings.
Hopper 7 - showed Morton he's still the master, helps control the game, big defensive contribution too.
