Player Ratings

[muzzando]

Just wondering what everyone's opinions on the players were today? Was listening to it on the radio so often difficult to hear exactly how each player performed

[dmc1875]

Oxley - 6 Couple of dodgey moments with crossed balls and doesn't like coming off his line but made a decent stop in the first half and not much else to do.

Hanlon- 6.5 Not a hard afternoon but dealt with everything well enough apart from a really slack pass that nearly put us in trouble in the first half.
Fontaine - 7 Strolled it
Forster - 7 Same as Fontaine until taken off injured

Boyle 8- Worked hard, good movement and finish for the goal, constantly working and looked dangerous throughout until also off injured.
Stevenson 7- Energetic display

Craig 8- Worked his socks off, tracked everything, dug in and played neat and tidy in the middle of the park. Works well with Allan.
Allan 7- Everything feeds through him a decent display
Robertson 7- Broke play up well and drove forward

Cummings 8- Great display, one of his best 'all round performances' IMO as he worked tirelessly, showed good awareness and touch and caused all sorts of problems.
Malonga 7- Decent hold up play, tracked back and cool finish for the third.

Subs:

Fyvie- No time really
Gray - Worked hard and slotted in well
Stanton - Nothing really of note.

[Offside Trap]

Oxley - 7 - Did what was required
Hanlon - 7 - Mostly solid - I was close to dugout today and was interesting to see how much coaching he gets from Stubbs through game
Fontaine - 8 - Class act - doesn't put a foot wrong, composed and distribution good (and no coaching from Stubbs!)
Forster -7 - sound defensively. Pushing forward OK - but we saw the difference when Gray came on. Hope his injury ain't too bad
Stevenson - 6 - puts his foot in where it hurts but as ever would just love him to be a bit more dynamic going forwarded and less hesitant
Robertson - 7 -good game - lots of hard graft and some deft touches and passing - great effort
Craig - MoM - 9 -never stopped - brave as hell - superb engine, niggly and good going forward and back. 100% played for the jersey today
Allan - 8 - enigmatic - some brilliant moments and passes which make the difference. Best player we have had on our books for years
Malonga - 7 - typical performance from the big guy - lethargic at times and needs the ball to him rather than seeking it out. But scored - and that's what counts
Cummings - 9 - best game from him for me - touch better, hold up play good, pace at times and could beat a man - and a goal. Developing into a fine player
Boyle - 8 - brilliant in first half - great touches and goal was completely his own work, pace and skill. Faded second half but loads of promise in this lad. Hope injury not bad

Stanton - 3 - OK
Gray - 5 - positive contribution
Fyvie - OK
