Eight straight wins is phenomenal. Farke and the team deserve a lot of credit for that. And just for Eire, what a much more enjoyable season this has been than last.
Meslier - 7. Dealt with some dangerous crosses, good with the ball at his feet. Couple of nervy moments but overall a very decent showing in poor goalkeeping conditions. Gray - 7. Miller had plenty of chances down our right side and looked very good. Gray stuck to his task all afternoon and slowly got on top. Rodon - 7. A little bit of a scrappy game for him. A little below the standards he has set himself this season but still played a big part in today's clean sheet. Ampadu - 9. Excellent display, an absolute rock proving that if Rodon doesn't get you then Ampadu has it covered. Firpo - 7. Excellent first 20 minutes when we were the dominant attacking side. A bit sloppy with the odd pass and his ball watching will cost us a goal at some point but another decent performance overall. Gruev - 8. Hard work, intelligent passing, good tracking back. Maybe not the perfect display but certainly another to chalk him in as one of the most influential players on show. Kamara - 8. Decent foil to Gruev, certainly on the left side. I'd like him to back himself going forward sometimes as he has the ability to score goals from this position. Rutter - 8. Assist and a goal rescued an otherwise under par performance. Started with an assist at 10 and finished with a goal at 9. Summerville - 8. Never truly looked like causing too much damage but his movement, trickery and pace was a constant thorn in Plymouths side. Gnonto - 8. Another goal to his name. Similarly to Summerville, was more a pest after that first 20 minutes than a constant danger. Piroe - 7. Some really nice lay offs, good movement, decent hold up play and a really solid assist for Rutter to finish the game off. Never really looked like scoring. Subs. James - 7. All action and hit the bar with a fantastic free kick. Maybe should have had a penalty too. Roberts - 6. Seamless introduction for Gray. Gelhardt - n/a. Joseph - n/a.
Rutter should have had a **** score but at the end of the day he provided the assist for the 1st goal and scored the 2nd goal. Ultimately he was involved in the moments that won us the game. You might be right about Summerville though.
Fantastic win today and the lads can now get back to Leeds and get out on the lash as they've earn't it.
