Jensen 6 beaten by a deflected goal and one that was not cleanly hit so can't blame him for them.
Sorensen 6 didn't really work for him today. Didn't seem to have his usual energy.
Mitchell 6 usual die hard defending but poor distribution.
O'connor 6 as Mitchell
Roughan 6 not up to recent standards several hit and hope balls down the line.
Hackett 5 needs to be rested poor run of form lately.
Erhahon 7 battled and tried to make things happen.
Mandriou 6 great goal and shot that Taylor scored offside second from. But very inconsistent today.
Moylan 5 struggled get into the game.
House 6 hassled and harried not helped by ref who gave him nothing.
Taylor 6 always in the right place but should have done better a couple of times.
Makama 6 put 100% in

Jensen - 6 Thought he should have done better in their second goal, but the shot hitting the ground first may have deceived him
Sorensen - 6.5 Got forward on several occasions into their box, but poor crosses didn't find him.
Mitchell - 6 Did OK in a game where the centre backs were not under a lot of pressure
O'Connor - 6 As above
Roughan - 6.5 Defensively sound. Passing slightly better today, but distribution is still a week point
Hackett - 5 Reeco has gone off the boil completely the past few games.
Erhahon - 7 Easily our best player. Battled manfully in our very weak midfield
Mandroiu - 5.5 Excellent goal and worked hard, but some of his passing....
Moylan - 5 Having to play in a position he is not suited too. Puts in 100%, his his confidence is not great at present.
House - 5.5 Usually Ben all-action display, but he was pretty close again to a second yellow.
Taylor - 6 Should have done better with that run in the opening minutes, and went too soon for Erhahon's through ball in the second half. But still looked by far our most dangerous forward, and was unlucky to be subbed.
Makama - 5 Didn't really add anything.
A word for Draper. Some have said he is out of his depth at this level. I disagree. His body strength will allow him to succeed for us, and if we can play to his strengths and create chances for him with crosses and balls played up to him in the box, he will score goals for us too. With House's injury and disciplinary problems, Draper is the perfect deputy.

Jensen 7 Can't be faulted for the goals
Sorensen 7 Worked well down the right, had a goal bound effort blocked and his cross was a few inches out (probably) from creating a Hackett goal.
O'Connor 7 We pushed on more and more in the second half, exposing the defence who coped pretty well with less protection.
Mitchell 7.5 Ditto
Roughan 7 Ditto
Hackett 6.5 Worked hard in defence, found the space to set up Taylor's first offside goal and scored the "out of play" goal. Those marginal decisions go the other way and that's a big impact.
Erhahon 7 Usual solid game, just needed to be able to play the pass to Taylor a touch earlier and things may have been quite different
Mandroiu 8 Even without his goal I thought he was outstanding with and without the ball
Moylan 6.5 Another solid display
House 6.5 Good solid game.
Taylor 7.0 On another day could have had a hat trick. Occasionally reminded of Brennan Johnson who was a touch selfish when near goal (and Gary Lineker and most top strikers).
Makama 6.5 Did well and beginning to look at home at this level...didn't score the winner in the few minutes he was on, so added less than against Orient.
Personally I thought we played well against a side with good players and up for the battle and just happened to be on the wrong side of the breaks for once.

Jensen 6.5 - A little unlucky with the goals.
Sorensen 6.5 - Got forward, put some decent crosses in.
Mitchell 6.5 - Quality defending but his forward distribution is poor, at least he acknowledged Roughan having a go at him.
O'Connor 6.5 - Terrible first twenty, then got stuck in, won all the easy balls
Roughan 7 - Almost always seeking to get the ball forward, generally well timed interceptions.
Hackett 6.5 - Lost at times but got forward, might have scored two goals.
Erhahon 6.5 - Started so slowly, great when with the ball but some of passing was dreadful, poor timing of ball to Taylor when running on goal.
Mandroiu 7.5 - Most confident and inventive player on the pitch. Great strike for the goal.
Moylan 6 - Good in parts but needs his old belief.
House 6 - Worked hard but the ball didn’t run for him on the day
Taylor 6.5 - Got in some great positions but nothing worked on the day. Could have had a couple of goals.
Makama 6 - Didn’t provide a threat.
In other games like this we have had the rub of the green and drawn or won them. On Saturday it rarely came together, and Wigan took their chances.

Live in the stadium.
Jensen 6
Couldn't do nothing about the deflected first goal. Could maybe have done slightly better for the second.
Sorensen 6
Tried to get forward but not alot coming off. Had one decent shot at goal blocked.
O'Connor 6
Mitchell 6
Roughan 6
People go on about his distribution but he is sometimes looking down the left channel and there is nobody there to find.
Hackett 5
The one player in the team who looks like a fish out of water in the position he plays. Rate him as a forward player.Does ok but I can't see him playing this position long term.
Erhahon 6
Over run in midfield and found it difficult to stamp any authority on the game.
Mandroiu 6.5
Thought he did ok. Tried to get on the ball and create. Great strike for his goal.
Moylan 5
Not happening for him at the minute. No lack of effort but struggling to get involved in our attacking creative play.
House 6
Put himself about. Seems to be playing right on the edge at the moment. Needs to concentrate more on channelling his aggression in his play rather than out of his mouth.
Taylor 6
Wasted a golden opportunity in the first few minutes. Scored 2 good goals which were rightly ruled out. Doesn't like being substituted...and rightly so. Was a bit surprised he came off.
Makama 5
Didn't make the impact required.

Jensen 6
Sorensen 6.
Mitchel 6
OConnor 6
Roughan 5.5
Probably harsh but his weak header led to their winning goal
Hackett 5.5
Erhahon. 5.5
Didnt get to grips with their midfield. We were very ragged for the last 20 minutes and I expected him to be calm and settle us down, he didn’t. Easy option pass to release Taylor early for the offside goal but got it so wrong.
Mandy. 7.
Brilliant goal and our liveliest spark plus working so hard for the team.
Moylan 6.
Can’t quite get his early form back but can’t fault his workrate or attitude.
House 5.5.
Looked like he had lead in his boots. More chance of winning a header if you jump Ben.
Taylor 6. Main likely scorer and could have had a hat trick. Strangely subbed when we needed a spark.
Makama 5.5 Didn’t really make an impact
