Thought we were excellent yesterday so these ratings will reflect that.
Okonkwo - 8 - Did not have a difficult save to make, but his positioning and presence made it very tough for Crawley to have a sniff. Did brilliantly to recover the ball after O'Connor's error in the 1st half too
Mendy - 8 - Our main attacking outlet before he went off, and you can see how much he impacted the game once he came off as we were far from the same team. I hope it's not a lengthy spell on the sidelines
Hayden - 7 - Generally solid, caught out once in the moment where he gave a yellow away but aside from that had a very good game
O'Connell - 8 - Pick of the back 3 for me. Very calm and assured when under pressure in the 2nd half
O'Connor - 7 - Shaky 1st half, but stepped up in the 2nd half when we needed him most
McClean - 7 - Gave the ball away in open play too much in the 1st half and had a couple of shaky moments. Lovely assist for the goal though and I thought he was brilliant when he moved over to the right. His dead ball deliveries are (for the most part) the best I've seen in a long time as well
Evans - 8 - Oozes class, protected the backline with everything he had and is a player who knows how to get the ball forward. Amazing signing. MOTM
Jones - 7 - Ran himself into the ground for the cause and had to play out of position for a time
Lee - 6 - Offered little going forward, and likely needs a rest but his defensive work was a lot better
Mullin - 5 - Not himself yesterday and missed a great chance to make it 2. We know there's more to come from him though and I'm very excited to see how that team does with him fully fit
Palmer - 8 - Classy goal and held the ball up well. Gave it everything but was hooked at the right time
Subs:
Cannon - 0 - The ref initially going to give a yellow doesn't change that it was a bad challenge for me that warranted a red card. Put us in a lot of danger. I'm not sure I can give better than this
Fletcher - 7 - Held the ball up very well and showed some good linkup play
Davies - 7 - Looks class, some superb linkup play
Tunnicliffe - 7 - Didn't look like conceding the whole time he was on. Solid
Parky - 10 - The last 3 subs were all masterstrokes and the team selection was perfect. Any doubters might feel a tad silly after that match
