Derby v Barnsley Match Ratings


Ellafella

Recommended Posts

Wildsmith - 6 - didn’t actually have a lot to do despite the pressure second half. Goal was a horrid deflection.

Knight - 6 - solid if unspectacular

Stearman - 7 - a bit uneasy on the ball but grew into it.

Cashin - 7 - body on the line every time, could’ve used it better at times second half to relieve pressure

Roberts - 6 - few good moments but nothing to note really.

Sibley - 6 - Positive and provides us with a better shape and goal threat, needs to keep starting.

Bird - 8 - did the dirty stuff well, gave it simple after. Really mature performance.

Hourihane - 7 - some brilliant deliveries. His best performance so far.

Mendez-Laing - 6 - not as lively and positive as the Oxford game but a great taken goal.

Barkhuizen - 7 - Best outlet first half, his best performance so far. Him and NML going to combine for goals/assists a lot this year.

Collins - 5 - missed a sitter, left the ball for thin air a couple of times first half, didn’t win much in the air against the CB. Really needs that goal.

Smith - 5 - Struggled to get to the pace of the game and we pretty much gave up going forward when he came on.

Dobbin - 6 - looked like he tried a bit hard. Did dump a defend on his arse with a shoulder barge which was baffling given as a free kick.

Forsyth - 6 - standard rating as didn’t have time to do anything.

Wildsmith 6 Delected goal not his fault. Kicking iffy at times.

Knight 7.5 The usual high energy shift.

Stearman 7 Some good blocks and headers

Cashin 9. Different gravy. Headed, blocked, controlled. Robust & skilful. Unlucky to be booked. MOTD by a country mile.

Roberts 7.5 Solid. Simple passes. 

Sibley 6 Didn’t thrive in the heat.

Bird 7.5 Very solid but needs help in midfield.

Hourihane 7 Superb corner for the goal.

Mendez-Laing 8 Pile-driver of a goal. 

Barkheuizen 7. Busy and effective.

Collins 7.5 Unlucky not to score. Combative.

Corey-Smith 6. Looks sharper but lightweight.

Dobbin 6 Raw & energetic. He’ll settle. 

Forsyth 7 Gave reassurance in last 10 minutes.

Job done against a well drilled Barnsley. No frills - we can play better. Midfield isn’t right Liam. Get in a fb and get Knight back in.

Wildsmith 7 looked solid and composed

Knight 7 decent game out of position

Stearman 8 very good and assured at the back

Cashin 8.5 generally great performance..lost his man near the end almost cost a goal

Roberts 6.5 solid performance

Sibley 6 not that involved today

Bird 7 did what he does best..solid performance

Hourihane 8 quality passing again

Mendez-Laing 7 great goal, tired visibly 2nd half like many others

Barkheuizen 7.5 lots of success with his runs especially first half

Collins 6 does this guy ever need a goal..still getting into the right places

Corey-Smith 6 don't notice him a lot but he was breaking up play well late on

Dobbin 6 needs more gametime...signs are there that he will be a decent player for us

Forsyth 6 solid as usual in the time he was on

Wildsmith   7 - A few decent stops, powerless re. deflected goal

Knight   7 - Please stop playing well - needed in midfield!

Stearman   7 - Solid game, better for playing midweek.

Cashin   8 - MotM, did he miss a header all match? Certainly not in the final 15 mins.

Roberts   7  - steady if unspectacular.

Sibley   6 - lively first half, unlucky to be subbed off for Corey-Smith.

Bird   6 - steady again but needs to take charge of midfield/needs help.

Hourihane   7 - getting into the groove now, some excellent deliveries.

Mendez-Laing   7 - quieter than recent matches, took his goal very well though.

Barkheuizen   7 - ran himself into the ground, quieter 2nd half but best game yet?

Collins   6 - could have done better with his chance at 2-0.  Needs a goal to get his season up and running.

SUBS:

Corey-Smith   5 - didnt really effect the match when he came on.

Dobbin   6 - looked lively but wasn't really used as an outlet to relieve pressure.

Forsyth n/a

Lively first half, looked tired second half.  More games will increase fitness and team cohesion.  Picking up points this early in the season given where we were a few weeks ago is a bonus.  When we click we're gonna romp away with some games

Wildsmith - 6, did what he needed to do. Not the best kicker but no real shanks. Wasn't put under pressure often becaus Cashin dealt with everything. No fault for goal 

Knight - 6, steady enough but couldn't do anything going forward today.

Stearman - 6, no major errors although as has been mentioned a bit limp their goal. Bypassed in most of our passing moves and defensively passed responsibility onto Cashin for any of the defending that actually impacted the game. Anyone giving him a 7+ is just protecting him against criticism because they're desperate to make out he's being Steargoated.

Cashin - 12 (or 10 for the ratings), massively important second half, never seen a man mountain below 6ft before but he basically won us the game. Imperious.

Roberts 5, did OK but every time he was asked to fill in as a CM he did something wrong. Not his position and not comfortable in our system yet.

Sibley 6, First half good but some sloppy passing , second half struggled.

Bird - 7, again first half suited him, second half quite anonymous but we know what he is and how he plays. Met expectations.

Hourihane - 7.5, lovely passing and crossing into dangerous areas but we already know he won't do much defensively and won't be able to keep energy levels up for 90 mins. 

Mendez-Laing - 7.5,  love him but goal aside not really up to speed today (probably the heat) and played a few more sloppy passes than I'm used to. He's present in defence but sometimes it's a token effort.

Barkheuizen - 7, very good first half, worked hard second but had mostly  disappeared from the game as an attacking threat. Actually think he's got a bit of Weimann about him sometimes when he runs.

Collins - 6.5 missed a great chance to add this collection of great chances missed, but will cut him some slack as he worked hard.

Smith - 5.5, still don't really know what he is, been around for years but I'd never heard of him before we signed him,  and I can see why that is. Occasional moments of being a progressive player but plays it too save when in advanced positions.

Dobbin - 5.5, no impact really  and made nothing of a nice ball played down the channels late on.

Forsyth - 5.5, lost a few headers I'd expect him to win, but didn't really have any opportunity to impress in other ways

Wildsmith 7 - Really good anticipation and bravery to make that save first half. So far, so good. 

Knight 6.5 - Good defensively, but not much going forward. 

Stearman 6.5 - Stepped up, did what he had to do well. 

Cashin 8.5 - Best individual performance of the season. Won every header, read the game so well and is composed on the ball. Another ref might have shown him a red for that challenge though. Was slightly worried with him on a yellow, but he continued to be decisive and aggressive in his defending and didn't put a foot wrong. 

Roberts 6.5 - Plays some really nice passes, but occasionally seems in too much of a rush to get it forward.  

Sibley 6.5 - Found some really good positions, but only Hourihane wanted to find him. 

Bird  7 - Made some key interceptions and tackles. Will continue to get man-marked - so important for us to get him on the ball more.

Hourihane 7.5 - Best he's played by far, saw his passing range and that cross for Collins was perfect. 

Mendez-Laing  6.5 - First two games, he was good without the end product. Then today he didn't play well but scored a good goal. Does the defensive work really well though. 

Barkhuizen 6.5 - In the game a lot more and a great assist. 

Collins 6 - Probably his poorest game, but still worked incredibly hard. 

Smith 5.5 - Looked lively for the first few minutes then struggled. A competent ref and he'd have given a penalty away for handball. 

Dobbin 5.5 - Ran around a lot but was muscled off it a few times. Like Smith struggled to change the momentum of the game. 

Forsyth 6
