Kelvin - 8.5 - Once or twice was a little slow to come off his line and command his area. However, fantastic double save (one with legs and one tipped round the post).
Fox - 7 - quiet by his standards, but didnt do anything wrong, just didnt see a huge amount of the ball.
Buttefield - 9 - really impressed me. So casual, calm and composed on the ball, never wasted it. Clever in the way he gets forward as he doesnt venture too far, and crosses from deep, allowing for his lack of pace to get back. One of our best players I thought.
Hoover - 9 - won almost everything in the air, good goal, such a legend. Hope he isnt injured. Came out on the pitch afterwards conducting the crowd and looked fine
Fonte - 8 - one or two shaky moments, their players were climbing and holding all the time. Some great clearances and good use of the ball stepping out of defence.
Lallana - 8.5 - quiet first half but came alive in the seoncd as more of our play was down his wing. Posh players couldnt get near him when on the ball, and linked up with Lambert and Guly beatufiully at the end - such a class act
Deano - 7.5 - standard deano - winning headers, doing the dirty work, box to box. Just did what he always does and did it well.
Cork - 8.5 - very impressive again, great energy and won loads of balls in the midfield, hassling, pressing and energetic. use of the ball also very good.
Chaplow - 8 - defensively he did an awful lot of work and never let anything die. A right pest who never gave up on anything. End product sometimes lacking, although very unlcuky not to score in the second half. Towards the end his standard dropped a bit and got a bit scrappy.
Sharp - 9 - two well taken goals, could have had more. Constantly held and fouled (as was Ricky). Looked quicker across and ground and got in behind once or twice. Defends from the front well and held is up better than a Banard or Connolly may have been able to against their lumps
Rickie - 7.5 - quiet night, held and climbed all over from the first minute really, but still had some lovely touches and "chest passes"
Guly - 8 - looked very good when he came on, used the ball well, got past people and drilled a low shot just wide. Got a lot of appreciation which was nice.
Martin - 7.5 - didnt do much at all, lost a header which was a dodgy due to where it was, but very little to judge him on
Nigel - 10 - didn't take Chaplow off after he was cocking up a bit and crowd were asking for Steve. Gave Guly a chance who was getting massive cheers all night (nice to see people getting behind him). Nige was also quick to clap and wave when requested by the fans.
