Any player ratings for yesterday?

[OldNick]

Normally fans who went to the game give a ratings for players performances, i haven't seen any so far.I note that it seems our shot stopper, who apparently in somes eyes is useless helped us get 2 extra points with a fantastic save to keep us at 2-1 up

There are some ratings on the Ugly as usual, couldn't say how reliable they are though because it's a composite system.Someone who didn't go to the match could put in some entirely duff scores and screw it up completely.

Davis 8 (only really had that one save to make)

 

Butterfield 7

Fonte 8

Jaidi 6

Harding 6

 

Chamberlain 7

Chaplow 4

Hammond 7

Lallana 8

 

Barnard 7

Lambert 7

i dont go on to the UI but usually you see some ratings by quite reliable posters on here

Keepers making saves doesn't count, only mistakes. You should know that by now!

[Griffo]

Davis 8 - Great save. Seemed a bit more comfortable with crosses yesterday.

 

Butterfield 7 - Did nothing wrong.

Fonte 7 - Seemed to hoof it a lot more than usual yesterday.

Jaidi 6 - Very erratic, won a lot in the air but his distribution was the worst I've seen from him in a long time.

Harding 6

 

Chamberlain 7 - Wasn't in the game as much as we would have liked, but ran at their left back well and caused a few problems.

Chaplow 5 - Not one of his better games again, got much better in the 2nd half though.

Hammond 7 - Seemed to control the midfield well today, a lot of good forward passes too.

Lallana 8 - (MOM) Caused all sorts of problems down the left, class above.

 

Lambert 7 - Plays much better with Barnard I think, cracking freekick.

Barnard 7 - Made a lot of good runs, caused a few problems and put their CB's under a lot of pressure.

[ladysaint]

Agree most with the above but would give Hammond and Barnard both 8's you could both see that they were really up for this one and were very comitted.

[shurlock]

Davis 7 - for all their possession, wasn't actually tested much but pulled off a fantastic second half save

 

Butterfield 7 - was up against pugh, their dangerman and kept him relatively quiet

Jaidi 6 - convinced he was going to get sent off but was much more comfortable when Fletcher came on

Fonte 6 - cleared his lines effectively but has lost some of his earlier composure

Harding 6 - our most attack minded defender and was steady enough

 

Chamberlain 6 - didn't see enough of the ball and didn't provide much cover for butterfield. however, he's the only pace we have in the team and won us some dangerous free kicks which helped slow the tempo

Chaplow 5 - poor game - we were outbossed in the middle where we rarely came out of the second ball and Chaplow had a large role in that

Hammond 7 - got the crucial goal and helped keep things tighter than they would have been given the rest of the midfield's defensive absence

Lallana 8 - (MOM) quiet first half but ran the second half - unlike many others keot possession and seemed to have an eternity on the ball.

 

Lambert 6 - great free-kick (more than made up for an earlier freekick which he tried to play short) but lets not kid ourselves he had a poor game. didnt compete in the air and game largely passed him by. if he hadn't scored, would have given a 5.

Barnard 7 - leads the line better than Lamert IMO - on current form, it should be Barnard + somebody else

Barnard and Lambert is our best partnership.

[shurlock]

Barnard and Lambert is our best partnership.

 

Maybe because we don't have anything else but Lambert and Barnard doesn't convince me. Not mobile enough. Barnard and Guly have played well the few times they've appeared together (for instance, subbing Lambert in the earlier cup game against Cheltenham changed the game). Otherwise Barnard and a bit of pace, though the jury's out on Forte. The main point is that Lambert, from showing some a bit of form again at the turn of the year, has gone missing again.

[Saint Charlie]

If you think Lambert has gone missing then you are as deluded as some of the Bmth fans. He set up Barnards goal brilliantly yesterday and leads the line superbly.

Leading the line superbly he's obviously a sacred cow for some; but lets keep his contribution in perspective.

are we competing to be the harshest critics in the football league?

Butterfield 7 - Did nothing wrong.

Maybe a 9 might have been nice then?

 

Grinding out a 3-0 win against Yeovil wasn't good enough for many, and just when I thought we had comfortably beaten one of our main competitors for automatic promotion at their own ground it seems from some of the marks that most players were off the pace and we are no better than average, which amounts to midtable form.

Lambert sets up one and scores another brilliantly - this qualifies him for a 6?

 

I understand keeping our feet on the ground as we don't look like Brazil in their prime, but the table suggests we are better than these marks.

 

Anyone want to offer some generous marking that reflects the result?

Or does this leave Bournemouth players getting all 3's, 4's and 5's?

Don't get me wrong - the result was fantastic - a 9 in terms of importance (though it won't matter if we fail to follow it up).

 

However did we play well -not particularly; can we play better - yes. But ultimately, at this stage of the season, are results more important than performances - hell yes.

 

Am just trying to keep some balance between the highs and lows, between the results and performances - this last week could have panned out very differently if we hadn't beaten Colchester and Bournemouth (in addition to Yeovil) - and the games were much, much closer than the scorelines suggest. Just in the same way I wasn't in meltdown as some were on the forum after the Walsall (or Hartlepool) game.

Not a sacred cow - everything in his game has been good for the last month...even his goals ratio. Problem is it doesn't match the standard he set himself last year.

[georgeismyname]

Davis - 8 - Not much to do but one crucial, crucial save onto the bar. Distribution much better than usual too.

Harding - 7 - Solid as usual, our most threatening player going forward from the back.

Fonte - 7 - In control as usual, but a bit more hoofing than normal.

Jaidi - 7 - Won the majority of headers as always, was seriously worried he was going to get a second yellow though.

Butterfield - 7 - Solid, with some good forward play.

Lallana - 9 - MOTM, our biggest threat going forward, sublime control and skill at times, won free kicks, kept possession, set up chances - brilliant!

Chaplow - 7 - Controlled the midfield well enough.

Hammond - 8 - Was our better central midfielder, got stuck in and scored the crucial goal.

Chamberlain - 8 - Wasn't involved as much as he is when at his best, but did well when he got the ball, kept possession, ran at opponents and won freekicks.

Barnard - 8 - Tireless as usual and looked threatening.

Lambert - 8 - Won his fair share of headers, great work to set up the first and sublime freekick.

 

Seaborne - 7 - Didn't do much but was solid. Gave us an extra aerial advantage at left back.

Gobern - 7 - Looked good until the silly challenge.

Richardson - N/A

 

Overall day out - 10 - Cracking atmosphere from the Saints fans, didn't stop singing for 90 mins (plus the time we were held against our will!). Great performance from the team and great to see how much it meant to them from the celebrations after the goals and at the end (Jaidi, Hammond and Rickie in particular). Most importantly though - HUGE 3 points!! :D

[The9]

If you think Lambert has gone missing then you are as deluded as some of the Bmth fans. He set up Barnards goal brilliantly yesterday and leads the line superbly.

 

I thought he was terrible, again. He barely runs and one cross and one free kick don't make for a good performance. Every time there was closing down to be done or a through ball to chase he went missing. Angled non-jumping headers are only going to get so far.

 

On the flipside, Lallana was immense and was the only Saints player to get the thing down and enable us to maintain possession or do ANYTHING in their half.

Well summed up!
