No body outstanding, nobody terrible. Good solid performance. All 7's maybe or there-abouts. Gardner 8 MOM and Wickham 8 for the impact he made

Chris Kirkland - 9/10

Brilliant demanded his box well made the odd good save and shown some great handling of the ball,

also decided to release it early doors today which is always a good thing when we have the likes of Helan and Antonio.

 

Reda - 8/10

Solid as always, won the ball when ever he needed to bombed forward well and also fell back into position nicely

 

Llera - 6/10

Wouldn't say disappointing as we kept a clean sheet, but certainly frustrating in my opinion his clearances were embarrassing and some of his long passes he was trying to do were awful, but he did his job well his distribution just seemed very poor.

 

Gardener - 9/10

Solid as always, won everything in the air and put in some brilliant tackles

 

Lewis Buxton - 8/10

Consistent, helped going forward a lot and broke down a lot of their attacks on his side.

 

Helan - 7/10

Did ok his pace is always devastating when he uses it, also tracked back well and made some strong tackles

 

Prutton - 8/10

Tank! Some good tackles today and kept his position very well, made a very good diving header in our box at one stage which if it bounced through could of easily lead to a goal on Leicesters behalf

 

Pugh - 7/10

Played center mid, I presume DJ knew they were very good and normally are very clinical on the attack, so wanted a bit more defensive security in the middle so played Pugh instead of the likes of Mcabe he sat in well and didn't really have much to do, won the ball when he needed to.

 

Antonio - 8/10

Ran his socks of as always, incredible that he's still so fit and he is yet to have missed a league start some times frustrating on his final delivery and he fell over a bit to easily on a few occasions, but every so often he just has that spark and creates something after nothing, and he's an absolute tank.

 

Kieran Lee - 8/10

Did brill won everything nowt bad to say about him

 

Lita - 7/10

Did alright, to begin with we wasn't really using the wings much and just hoofing it up to him and he couldn't really do anything because of his size, he worked very hard though always seems to be in the right position at the right time a 'poacher' of a striker got his head on one or two which missed narrowly.

 

Semedo - 8/10

Came on won everything also played some class passes, always nice to see such a legend of last year contribute to a victory. Didn't do anything wrong when he came on.

 

Connor Wickham - 8/10

Worked hard when he came on, seemed to be playing on the wing to begin with which confused me a lot! Good finish from his only chance though happy he got on the score sheet, when he was moved to up top he chased the ball down very well

 

can't rem if I forgot anyone but I got bored of typing!!

Agree with most of what you posted however i think you missed a few comments;

 

Kirklands kicking was exceptional... pin point for antonio/ helan to run onto. Thought Kirkland as you said was quality.

 

Reda made me feel nervous today. Everything first half came down his side, he tackled but not with his usual conviction. I thought a 6. Looked tired (which is to be expected).

 

Only other thing, i thought Lita deserves an 8. His part in the build up to the goal alone was absolute class. He harried, he tracked, he put his head in there. Thought he really worked their back four to the extent that they were constantly nervous on the ball.

 

Great job the lads did today. UTO.
