He dealt with them on the deck and the air and i thought his forward passing was superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it include Hofs own break up the left wing, starting in our own half, where he left about 3 Well players in his wake before playing an intelligent ball into the box? Asking for a friend.

Couldn't have been more wrong, with the exception of someone else who said Beni was poor. Suspect the same reason may apply. Beni and Hoff are the best two central midfielders and will contribute if others make runs (sometimes still too static). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENE Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Have to say Beni proved me wrong today. Said in match thread he was always getting caught on the ball and turning into trouble. Didn't do either of those today and his through ball for second goal was brilliant. Still should have been subbed as he was knackered later on.

He had a reputation for passing, one that we hadn't seen much reason for, but when you see him pinging them through the eye of a needle like today, you can really understand why.

hearts00 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Bob Loblaw said: No quite sure why Boyce seems to be getting singled out as being poor from some folk, I thought he was good. Should've scored, he's tried to be too cute by reversing it into the corner rather than just making good contact but overall I thought his play was good. Few good linkups with Lowry and Shankland. Was unlucky not to get a penalty. Kept the ball well, pressed well and won fouls to take the pressure off. He made bad contact with it because he literally can’t shoot. A clever footballer but a truly awful finisher. I was raging at him and Lowry for wasting that chance. Poor pass and the usual from Boyce. Need folk to sharpen up in final third, cant just be Shanks. Overall Boyce had a okay game today but I al still very much out on him and Shanks in the same team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Clark - 7 -Nothing much to do Kent - 7 -solid Kingsley - 7 - Did well Cochrane - 6- never hides, looks to be involved Rowles - 7 - looked good without having much physicality to deal with. Baningime - 6 - A great pass, but posted missing on occasions, and made himself unavailable for passes. Forrest - 6- worked hard, but was out foxed. Nieuwenhof - 7- Better game Shankland - 8 - MotM. Boyce - 7 - Always working. Lowry - 7 - added quality. Subs: Sibbick - 6 - Never put a foot wrong, ball well won for 2nd goal. Grant - 4 - good in the time he was on Vargas - 1 - No time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pass aimed for Lowry and if he doesn’t have the vision to leave it seeing Shanklands run, we’re probably not scoring cos Shanks has run offside by then.

red Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Clark - 7 -Nothing much to do Kent - 7 -solid performance but not troubled Kingsley - 7.5 - Playing well just now Cochrane - 5 - Struggling just now Rowles - 7 - See kent ^. Baningime - 8 - Glimpses of him getting fitness back. Forrest - 3 - Our worst first team regular, just a waste of a jersey 9 outta 10 games . Nieuwenhof - 7- Played ok, still not a fan, he’s an average footballer imo Shankland - 8 - He seemed different today, working off the ball and a bit passion back Boyce - 6.5 - Tried but pretty frustrating day for him Lowry - 7 - Showed signs of quality Subs: Sibbick - 6 - Never put a foot wrong, ball well won for 2nd goal. Grant - 4 - good in the time he was on Vargas - 1 - Still awaiting anything from the kid important win today against a poor team. For the first 30 mins I was wondering wtf I was doing in this stadium watching this crap, thankfully they picked it up and Naismith lives another day.

Rocky jamboa Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The OP is pretty much spot on with the ratings. Thought Lowry, Shanks and Beni were the standouts. All 3 hardly ever give the ball away. Lowry's delivery from corners was top notch. I'm a big fan of Cochrane but he was poor yesterday. Constantly gave the ball away. Forest was poor as well. Didn't get past his man once. Would prefer to see Oda in there instead. Good performance overall. We played some good stuff, totally dominated the game, and should have been scored more.

feedthefox Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Rowles, Kent and Kingsley were all outstanding. Rowles found a new pass to a sort of snap hook switch which was very effective and put us in some very good positions. Cochrane a weak link just now, how often do his passes up the line get charged down at least 50% I'd say, he looks unfit and has lost his way a bit.
