Davis - 7, made some superb saves and commanded area well Richardson - 7, good going forward and defensively Fonte - 7, erratic at times, but other solid Hooiveld - 9 MOM, a real presence at the back Fox - 7, superb going forward, ok at the back Guly - 6, good first half but faded 2nd half Schneiderlin - 7, some of his touches are sublime Hammond - 7, good performance from the captain Chaplow - 7, superb down the left Connolly - 7, hard working deserved a goal Lambert - 6, not his usual self Harding - 6, didnt have much to do Cork - 6, again had nothing to do De Ridder - N/A (Again!) Thoughts and Your Ratings?
Hooiveld a 7!? He was at least a 9, commanding performance and scored the winning goal, he loves the fans too and we love him I think Celtic will want him back because he has been immense for us so far.
How can De Ridder be Not Applicable [N/A] when he scored, save for the Ref blowing his whistle seconds earlier..?
I though Morgan was fantastic, kept a level head and agree his touches/passing was just sublime. Would agree with those ratings too. Thought Hooiveld was excellent too, not just for his goal but also his committed performance.
Hooiveld was head and shoulders the MOTM (and I was saying that even before he scored). Certainly gets a 9 from me. Immense!
I remember SF4L's last team ratings, basically they're probably all very far off as he seems to know **** all.
Someone else do the ratings please!! Just kidding Hooiveld definitely deserves a 9 though. Brilliant performance!
On the bus: are you sure that it's allright if we give our opinion? I mean if it's not the same as yours, it's obviously wrong. Plonquero, as they say in Spain.
Without any doubt Kelvin is the MOM! Superb saves that helped win us the match... Hooiveld was good and a cracking header for the goal but I'm pretty sure he nearly scored an own goal at the end. Chaplow and Spiderman were also awesome in the middle tonight.
Lambert was up against two good centre backs who gave him and Connolly very little change. I thought they had a bit more impact as West Ham opened up. Hooiveld was immense, Guly oozed class then scuppered his last pass. Davis, despite some derogatory comments from some fans behind me, made two vital saves and it amazes me people are still so critical of him. Fox did well, Richardson improved as the game went on. Chaplow worked so so hard. Infact I thought our only weakness tonight was Fonte who struggled at times. But we will rarely come up against someone as able as Carew in this division. Davis - 7 1/2 Richardson - 6 1/2 Fonte - 5 Hooiveld - 9 Fox - 7 1/2 Guly - 6 1/2 Schneiderlin - 7 Hammond - 7 Chaplow - 7 1/2 Connolly - 6 Lambert - 6
lambert played pretty well, his link up play was good, people give him a 6 because he didn't score...
Davis - 7 Richardson - 7 Fonte - 9 Hooiveld - 9 Fox - 8 Guly - 7 Hammond - 7 Schneiderlin - 8 Chaplow - 9 MOTM Lambert - 7 Connolly - 8 Harding - 7 Cork - 7 De Ridder - 7
Kelv made some errors that we were lucky to get away with in my opinion. One, early on, when he cleared the ball straight on to Carew's leg, ball could easily have gone in but luckily it spun off at an angle. Also right at the end when he used his legs to make a save instead of his hands/arms. However, and this is a big however, he made some cracking saves to keep us in the game - so all in all, I think we can forgive him for the bad bits and thank him for the good bits! By the way, does anyone else think Fonte's not been himself in the last 2 or 3 games? He seems to be making some careless mistakes, not like him at all. I wonder if he's struggling with fatique, afterall, he has worked his socks off like the rest of the squad so far this season.
