Present from my husband 💗

I apologise for my non “definitive” post……………it won’t happen again!

ATG
1Wildsmith  6.5.......Spectator
23Ward  5....decent ball for 1st goal but not great otherwise. On the highlights you can see Barks trying to get him to cover the run down the wing pre-pen. Had he done that, he may not have been put on the naughty step
2Wilson 7.....stinking first 5 mins then great. Goal will do him a world of good and lovely pass for Collins
35Nelson 8.....Defensively splendid
6Cashin 8.5......Brilliant performance in a pretty drab game. Why would you go to a back 5 and shove him on the right when the opposition had caused us zero threat? All it would take is a rubbish right footed pass and a consolation goal for his confidence to be dented. Not worth it to give Elder a few mins
3Forsyth 7.........Really good performance. Lack of options in first half when we were playing our preferred circle formation with no CMs.
4Hourihane 7.......Really good game. Wish he'd stand in midfield and get the ball rather than dropping into defence and getting his binoculars out to look for Bird and Fornah
16Thompson 6
7Barkhuizen 5.5......Not his best game in terms of end product. What's interesting is that when you watch highlights back he's always sprinting to get on the end of things and if often an unused option close to goal when we create chances. 
20Elder 6.......glad he's fit. Should have given Fozzy a rest rather than going to the obligatory back 5 with players out of position
22Fornah 5.....poor game. Got himself marked for most of the first half. Him and Bird seemed to be trying to play between their defence and midfield......a space of a full 3 yards. Resulted in no options and the circle formation.
19Sibley 6......Sort of changed the game without playing that well. Just a determination to be available and to drive from midfield made a difference - albeit we we wining again by then
8Bird 6.......Played like Fornah until Sibley came on and then played like Sibley when Forhah went off. Can we start him with Kevin de Bruyne on Boxing Day?
11Méndez-Laing 6.......not his greatest game but the outside of his right boot is becoming a really reliable go-to. Seems to be playing with a smile on his face.
19John-Jules 6
9Collins 7.5......made loads of runs that got ignored first half, when he did get ball to him he linked well and created chances. Decent goal and some decent defensive headers. 
Astonishing to think that, after lots of individual and collective inconsistency, we'd be second in the league without the last 5 seconds against Wycombe. Turn some 5's into 6's and 6's into 7's and top 2 is very achievable.

We probably do pay players 3 or 4 times what they do... We also get over 3 times as many fans at our home games. The narrative we spend money is laughable when we haven't spent a fee in about 4 years at this point.
