Marshall 7 - cracking save early on from Campbell. Didn't have a great deal to do thereafter but all done very competently

Edmondson 7 - good display again. Defensively really sharp, scored the goal & caused chaos in their box on another couple of occasions

Wisdom 8 - really good tonight. Some crucial defensive interventions & particularly liked the way he was striding around midfield second half like he owned it. Excellent on the ball. In a really good spell of form currently

Clarke 7 - his usual dependable self. Didn't massively notice him as he was overshadowed by Wisdom a little & protected by the midfield effort

Byrne 7 - another good game although would have liked him slightly more involved in the attacking effort given the formation was set up for him & Buchanan. Very solid at the back as usual

Knight 8 - really good display tonight, His workrate was obscene & he seemed to be leading the targeted press which gave them no time to play second half. Very often he was emerging from winning a second ball & striding into space - 100% his game

Bird 8 - usual class from Max. A lot of unsung work defensively & threading together play. We look so much better with him in the team & he played a key part in shielding the back 4 from late attacks

Shinnie 7 - his usual hard working, selfless display

Buchanan 6 - generally a decent display but some poor delivery out wide & an horrendous dive in early on which resulted in Campbell's chance

Gregory 5 - bit anonymous I thought. Nowhere near as effective as Kazim in holding the ball or bringing others in. Also made little impact in final third

CKR 8 MOM - excellent display. Such a presence up top, holding the ball with such ease & finding a man with an easy ball. Loads of good defensive work to help out his back 4 & a fantastic reverse pass to Waghorn for the second

Jozwiak 6 - offered lots of energy & an outlet to hold the ball further up the pitch

Waghorn 7 - much much better than last Friday. Obviously the goal was very well taken but got himself into the box for another good chance (that was flagged offside). He's much better than the pedestrian defensive winger he's been looking like recently

I know we're not supposed to chat in this thread, but I love your score summaries, LCR.

Sorry @sage

Of the starting eleven tonight we only bought Byrne and Wisdom. Takes a bit of believing. Plus quite a few others on the bench that we did not buy. So the starting eleven cost about three million quid in transfer fees.

For me Knigjt star man 9, was like watching the great Bryan Ribinson he is like dog poo he gets everywhere, CKR 8, a great number 9 performance, Shinnie 8 the same gives his all, Wisdom 7, very good centre back perfirmance, the rest i agree with lol

Marshall........6 Counted the rows of seats in the North Stand. 

Edmondson...7. Probably our biggest threat 1st half. Scored header from a corner.

Wisdom..........8. Imperious. Forayed. Strong armed opponents off the ball.

Clarke.............8. Our goal is a bank vault & Clarke is a big, chub lock. Nobody gets to it.

Byrne.............8. Another assist. Very busy. 

Knight............7. Lots of surge. Won free kicks.

Bird................7. Tidy. Clean passes. 

Shinnie..........7  Strong and abrasive. 

Buchanan......7 Quiet 1st half. Busier 2nd.

Gregory.........5 Doesn’t offer much. 

CKR................9. MotM. Vision. Power. Skill. Strange bird-like noise which is code for “pass to me”. Wonderful pass to Wag for goal #2. 

Jozwiak.........6 Ok for half a game. 

Waghorn.......7 Sublime goal. Then mostly ridiculous. 

Always wondered who kept making that noise ?

Marshall - 7 Made one early great save to keep it at 0-0. Also managed the game according to the way Rooney asked and made good choices between playing it at the back or releasing it long.

Edmondson- 8 Love this lad. Massive threat from set pieces and solid at the back leading to one goal and could have had mnore. Good releases down the wing for the forwards as well. Unlucky to be sacrificed for the team but was due to no fault of his own.

Wisdom - 8 Solid and massively vocal in his relationship with Bird. Never stopped organising those in front of him and took care of business at the back. No lapses in positioning or concentration so was at his best.

Clarke - 7 Solid. Just solid and some great passes to the midfield and forwards. Strange I only give him a 7, but he just wasn't as threatening at set pieces as Edmunson and not as vocal as Wisdom.

Byrne - 7 Struggled first half and mostly down to system and being overloaded on his side. Brilliant second half back in his normal position and so much more threatening when he looks to be positive all the time. Could do with improving the throw in routines though.

Knight - 8 I thought he was fantastic last night. Pressures, harries, closed down, was positive, got us on the front foot. Only thing lacking was runs into the box but much better from him.

Bird - 7 Solid and looked to be more positive and game management was top class. Was getting an ear full from Wisdom in the first half and part of the second and it seemed to really spur him on.

Shinnie - 7 Great display all round, just lacking the passing accuracy from the eye test to alleviate pressure and or create forward movement. Defensively solid and should start for Scotland at the Euros in that position.

Buchanan - 6. average display. Lacked the forward threat, defensively OK. Throw ins were more of a threat to us than them.

Gregory - 5 Only disappointing display. Didn't close down, didn't hold the ball up and was in no mans land half the time. Shame really.

CKR - 8 Man mountain. Held the ball up well and brought others into play. Brilliant forward ball to Waghorn for the second. Pressed occasionally and although frustrating understandable with his age and wanting to last the 90 mins.

Jozwiak- 6 Made a difference when he came on but the final ball was lacking. Just the extra touch he is taking and the extra thought he needs is holding him back.

Waghorn- 8 Best performance for us for ages. Scored, which came as a shock because I thought he was offside and or was going to miss. And also was pressing well and made their defence worried. Good link up play with Byrne. This is the Waghorn we need.

Rooney - 10 - Got it wrong first half but held his hands up, made some big changes and it paid off. Also sent the message to Jos and Waggers that they can both be dropped if they don't perform.

Marshall too. But your point still stands. Interesting reflection.
