Match ratings

Ratings maybe a bit harsh considering it was a win but rating them how I seen it

Nobody has to agree, in fact it's more of a debate if you's don't

Austin was shockingly bad. Wouldn't give him a 7. Not sure what's happened to him, but Tonge was the difference when he came on.

I thought Murphy was poor just doesn't offer enough it hasn't really worked for him at Leeds can see him leaving if another player comes in but I hope he proves me wrong want him to succeed but who knows

side...

Cheers, makes interesting reading when you compare it with how others have marked them.

Who is wrong, who is right - Opinions eh...?

But how can anybody be a pro footballer if they can't pass a ball?
It's not just Austin but to me , being able to pick and execute a pass is the most basic requirement of any footballer and yet...........

Austin made some cracking tackles today, a real pity that his passing overshadows this, but I agree, he needs to work on his distribution maybe Hock could give him some extra coaching

Your ratings are ludicrous! Cooper was awful sorry to say. Ball watched three/four times. Ran into trouble twice and sloppy for disallowed goal. Bianchi looked our best player Imo, didn't do a lot but he has class. Austin played really well.


Silvestri - 7 - Great handling
Byram - 6 - Average
Pearce - 8 Battled well
Warnock - 8 - My MOM
Austin - 7 - Solid
Murphy - 6 - Quiet again
Bianchi - 7- Classy but went quiet
Ajose - 5 - Quiet again but quick
Doukara - 6 - Skillful but didn't impress too much
Sharp - 7 - Good debut

I thought Cooper was superb for you. Austin is awful, a joke. Not quite a joke as much as Adomah's disallowed goal though. Thought you were slow, outplayed and no threat, but hey you scored so won. You desperately need a quality midfielder and I think Jacob Butterfield would have been ideal for you. Anyway good luck, and hope you stay up.

Were closer to going up than staying up. We stiffled a good Boro side today and played well for a team with 6 new players in it and 2 debutants!! We've still got 3 new players to come into the side yet.

Cooper was immense what game were you at? Take into account it was also his first game in a new team and in this league. He was solid throughout, won everything in the air. Dont know how you could think otherwise??? He will be a quality signing for us - no doubt. Clean sheet says it all, wouldn't of happened had Wootton been playing.

I also thought Doukara played well was a threat with his pace and power, never stopped running, numerous times boro had to resort to fouling him.

Ajose looked a bit lightweight though, will give him a bit more time to see how he does, maybe he prefers to play down the middle than out wide?

Center-mid needed - Austin cant pass/sloppy, Murphy had another anonymous game today, not improved since last season.

Thought Tonge did well when he came on, maybe this new way of playing suits him better, Cook also looked lively when he came on but wouldn't be a starter yet for me.

Bianchi showed some good touches and was comfortable on the ball, wasn't his best game but don't think he was playing in his favorite position today either.

Lots of positives though - a few more quality signings / time to settle and we will have a real chance this year
