Marshall.......5    One good stop with his legs on a 1 v 1 but an international goalie has to do better with their second goal

McDonald.....5    Tough ask to replace Byrne but did alright

Forsyth.....5     Some wayward passing and missed a header or two

Wisdom.....5     Perhaps lucky to not concede a penalty and continues to give me kittens

Mengi.....6     His good moments seem to be required due to his poor moments a few seconds previous

Shinnie.....4   Poor today including dead ball delivery

Bird.....5     Best moments came when he looked forward to play a positive through ball and again when he fired off a strike well saved by their keeper. Too many misplaced passes though in general

Sibley.....4     Not on it today

Knight.....5     Energy and commitment can't be faulted. Composure, decision making and overall skill levels can be

Lawrence.....6     Stunning strike and a few decent touches

CKR.....5     Poor effort in the build up to their third but unlucky with first half effort against the post

Marshall - 6 Average. Did some things OK but pushed the ball into the danger area for their second and was caught in no mans land for the 3rd  

McDonald - 5 Big shoes to fill and didn’t do a very good job. Defensively not very strong and offers nothing going forward so we lose a big part of our attack. 

Forsyth - 5 Got beat for pace time and again and although helped out a bit going forward it wasn’t much. 

Wisdom - 5 Poor for someone who was supposed to be the experienced head. Slow to react to the second and also poor distribution. 

Mengi - 3 Worst of the back line. Out of position an awful lot, tried to rely on his pace to recover, which sometimes he did, then other times he gave it back to them. Distribution poor and I’m not sure he won a header  all game. Lost his man for the third. 

Shinnie - 5 Battles well but poor ball retention and distribution hindered our attacking play. 

Bird - 6 Average. Battles like Shinnie, was more progressive today and played some good balls but also lightweight and muscled off the ball too often. Unlucky not to score with that lovely shot, but looks destined to have Huddlestonee scoring record. 

Sibley- 5 Wasn’t happening for him and rather than trying to take the game on he shrank away from it. 

Knight - 4 Poor all round. Need to learn to pass the simple ball to a white shirt and preferably forwards and let others do the creative stuff because he’s like a black hole when he gets it. Slow to react and close for the first. 

Lawrence- 6 Would have been a 4 before the goal as he was partly at fault for the second as well as general play. but what a lovely strike. 

CKR - 5 Another below average performance from him.

Marshall 5 - didnt have that much to do especially first half. Couldn't do much about the first but felt could have done better than parrying the ball straight to their lad for the second

McDonald 5 - OK generally. Unlucky to lose out in tussle that led to their first. Up against real quality in Ejara too. Offered little going forward

Forsyth 4 - struggled horribly with Meite although Lawrence wasn't much help. Good aerially, dont remember that much going forward

Wisdom 5 - expected more given he was the senior CB. Slow to react to Marshall's parry for their second & never looked comfortable

Mengi 6 - was actually pretty good for 60 mins. Needed to cover Forsyth, positionally was good & dominant aerially. Late on he started to lose composure/ability to read what was happening & beaten easily for their 3rd goal

Shinnie 5 - not good enough in possession, weak set pieces & wanted more pressing from him. Saved from a 4 because of a cracking ball to Lawrence to set up the 3 chance onslaught first half & a great ball from the left second half that Kazim just missed

Bird 5 - found it difficult to mark Max today. One cracking shot that was superbly saved, a brilliant ball to Lawrence that should have led to a shot in goal & a willingness to get on the ball and play. On the flip side, a few balls misplaced & too ponderous defensively with players moving off him too easily. Below average by his standards

Sibley 4 - sorry Louie but that was not good. Lost the ball constantly, very weak when in possession, offered no creativity & totally dominated by Richards. Ref could have offered more protection but Sibley was too static receiving the ball & could learn from how Jozwiak keeps the ball

Knight 4 - total lack of quality & insistence on taking 3/4 touches time and time again. Also disappointed with work rate, felt press could've been much more intense

Lawrence 5 - great goal & also played a key role in the first half trio of chances. Overall was really sloppy though. A lot of poor touches & poor covering for Forsyth, especially for their 2nd goal

CKR 6 MOM - desperately unlucky not to score with his 2 efforts first half & nearly got on the end of Shinnie's ball second half. Also a lot of great touches to control & hold the ball. Loses a mark for that pathetic attempt at a header that led to the 3rd goal

Marshall  - 6 could have done better with one goal but steady otherwise

McDonald- 4 Tough game for the youngster, will get better 

Forsyth- 6 struggled at times  

Wisdom - 6 He worries me when he thinks he is Messi 

Mengi - 6 steady game, 

Shinnie-  6 tried hard kept hold of the ball for too long

Bird - 6 one of his better games still not sure where Rooney wants to play him

Sibley- 5 he has ability but never really got going, better in the 1st half, not surprised he was subbed

Knight - 5 needs to use his brain, love his effort on the pitch but made a lot of bad decisions

Lawrence - 7 would have been a 6 but for that goal, offers a threat and worries defenders

CKR- 6 he is a goal threat and tries hard but it wasn't going to happen today
