Wildsmith 7.5 Great saves, some crap kicking and beaten at his near post.

Chester 6.5 Apart from balls up for goal with Curtis, looked tidy, better technique than Stearman. Coped OK RB, will be good at CB I think and hope he can leap like Cashin to make up for lack of height.

Knight 6 Relative to his own talent. He will get more goals from that position in this league. Love his energy.

Roberts 7 Good pace, energy, tidy feet, got forward well. Quite tough and gets stuck in too.

Cashin 7.5 Solid, combative, good reading. Lovely couple of forays forward one good shot and a lovely cross from the left!

Davies 6 only issue were forward passes. Solid otherwise.

McGoldrick 8 Energy, lovely movement and feet. Glides around creating and beating his man. Breathtaking at times. Lovely chip, delicious reverse pass, shame he didn't get a goal. I love him. Thrilled to see a 90 mins of running from him.

Sibley 6.5 Decent shift. Ball gets caught under his feet at times and play broke down but drove us forward at times.

Hourihane 8. I'm one of the few that thought he did well before the goals. Good corners, good passing and one cracking goal and another decisive finish.

Mendez-Laing 7.5 can't believe he's injured, (according to Rosie) looked as powerful as ever. Great shot which was pushed onto bar. A thrilling outlet, they could not deal with him.

Bird ? 5. Really lacking in any kind of power, lost the ball a few times due to a combination of this and slow execution. Rest him. Only use him as back up for Hourihane.

Collins 6.5 Good sub appearance. Nice technique and good decisions apart from that kick forward to their keeper in the final minutes.

Barkhuizen. 6 Not his best day but didn't do much wrong. One peach of a cross but nobody in that area in first half. More to come.

Forsyth 6.

Wildsmith 7.5 - good saves, good handling. Mixed kicking. Being harsh, maybe a little bit slow to get down for the goal. Chester 7 - very good debut aside from the mix up for goal. Knight 6.

Wildsmith 8 Three crucial saves including a 90th minute finger-tipper that would’ve ripped the net. Chester 7 Mix-up with Davis led to WW goal but went on to give an assured debut. Knight 8

Based on the RamsTV full match, with my trusty pen and paper in hand.

 

Wildsmith 7.5  Best game for ages, despite being beaten at the near post and some wayward kicking early on. Some great saves and claims and a willingness to move the ball forward quickly.

Chester 6.5  Steady debut apart from the mixup with Davies. Rosenior would "trust him with my life". Look forward to him becoming part of the matchday squad. 

Knight 6.5  Perhaps finding his feet further forward. 

Roberts 6.5  A little unlucky to come off, but we needed more attackers on the field.

Cashin 7  People said he was poor at Lincoln and needed resting. Again he was our best defender.

Davies 6.5  A couple of errors but generally the rock we expect and seemed more forward thinking with his carrying the ball and passing.

McGoldrick 8  Lots of good work second half, to go with his Cantona-esque chip in the first. Great rotation with Sibley.

Sibley 7.5  Best player in the first half. Highlighted on Radio Derby how much he runs, with and without the ball, to make space for others. Lovely directness and great rotation with McGoldrick, playing as an alternating pair.

Hourihane 8.5  His two goals lifted a relatively ordinary performance to MotM. Goals change games and how we needed them.

Mendez-Laing 7.5  Very strong substitute performance. Needs to start instead of Barks next match

Bird ? 5.5  Lovely shot early on, but then he went into his shell and failed to strike when presented with a glorious opportunity. Later, a great box-to-box run, but in between he did very little.

Collins 5.5  Really hoped he would look to have made a difference after he came on, but I didn't see it.

Barkhuizen 6.5  Didn't impact the game enough.

Forsyth Not on long enough to rate, ditto Thompson.

 

@EllafellaI decided to try to help make it easier for you by following your seemingly random player ordering, so you can enter the marks straight in. Is this the order of players in your spreadsheet? If so I understand and will continue; if not, it would be lovely to have some sort of team order with the subs in appearance order at the end. Cheers! Keep up the amazing work, for which we're all grateful.

Wildsmith 7.5 - excellent saves at vital times, and improveddistribution.  Might be harsh but thought he could've done better with the goal (he got a hand to it)

Chester 6.5 - solid debut but clearly a centre back playing at full back.  Was partly at fault for the goal

Knight 6.5 - decent enough game, and the midfield felt like it functioned better with him in it

Roberts 7 - thought he played well was unlucky to be subbed off, but alls well that ends well.

Cashin 7 - good solid game, although should have shown the Wycombe scorer outside for the goal.  Got forward well, great cross that  caused havoc for the 2nd goal.  Extra half point for his celebration.

Davies 6 - looked a bit rusty still, and partly at fault for the goal.  Awful square pass in the 2nd half nearly led to another goal against.

McGoldrick 7.5- a class above again, but not best as a lone striker.  Seems to have all the time in the world.

Sibley 6.5 - tried to make things happen and a threat on occasions.  Needs to move things along a bit quicker at times.

Hourihane 7.5 - Awful in the 1st half, but redeemed himself in the 2nd.

Mendez-Laing 7.5 - Excellent when he came on, and made a huge difference

Bird 6 - don't think he had as bad a game as some seem to think, but there's clearly a lack of dovetailing with Hourihane that needs to be resolved somehow.

Collins 7 - along with NML, made a big impact when he came on.  That left foot cross field ball was a thing of beauty.

Barkhuizen 6.5 - battled hard for the team in a deeper role, but no major impact going forward.

Forsyth 6 - no time to make an impact

Thompson 6 - see Fozzy

Wildsmith 7-

think he’s been very good for us, his long range kicking isn’t the best but he’s had a very good start

Roberts 7

solid 

Chester 7

solid pro

Davies 6

still looks injured 

Cashin 7.5

couple brilliant last ditch tackles 

Bird 5

struggled again

Houraine 7

was a 5 until his 2 goals his quality won us the game

Knight 7

chased everything gave us that extra energy 

Barkhauzin 7 

Didn’t get much going forward but did his job all game and kept trying 

Sibley 6.5

wasn’t his best slowed stuff down at times but kept going all game 

Mcgoldrick 7.5

Most of our attacking play went through him 

NML 8

Along with the tactical change he improved us so much, his running at them caused them nightmares 

Collins 7.5 

Like NML he helped change the game, not in the fact he did much but he gave Mcgoldrick the chance to go deeper to start the attacks, he chased everything down maybe being dropped helped. 
 

LR 8

His subs worked perfectly

 

Overall a big big 3 points, much deserved in the end after a poor first 30 minutes

Cashin did not put his best foot forward in the 15th minute. Needed to escort  Mehmeti to the bye line 

Could’ve done better yes, but that goal was on Davies and Chester challenging for the same header and neither of them winning it. Was stupid.

Wildsmith 8.5 - Some very good saves.

Chester 6.5 - Could tell he'd not played yet at the start but got better as the game went on. Bad mistake by him and Davies for the goal.

Knight 6.5 - Didn't do much, his first half position doesn't suit him. 

Roberts 7 - Thought he was unlucky to be taken off as he'd been good on the ball. Shame one of him or Cashin isn't right footed, think them two either side of one of the oldies would be a good back 3. 

Cashin 7 - Beaten too easily for the goal but after that very good. Could teach a few others how to cross judging by his great delivery just before the winner.

Davies 6 - Been quite poor since coming back, but sure he'll improve. 

McGoldrick 7.5 - Some excellent things but his finishing let him down. Probably the story of his career. 

Sibley 6.5 - Some good stuff but went down a few times too easily, Jason Knight needs to teach him how you buy a cheap free kick. 

Hourihane 8 - Goals inflate his rating, don't think he was particularly great up until then and him and Knight were AWOL for their chance at the end. Might be the only one, but I'd prefer Bird and Knight in the middle, but while others aren't scoring his goal threat is probably vital.

Mendez-Laing 7.5 - We were well on top when he came on, but he still gave us that extra threat. Unlucky not to score.

Bird 6.5 - Didn't have a bad game and we were well on top while he was on the pitch. Some good stuff, some sloppy like every other player. 

Collins 7 - Worked hard, formation change might suit him.

Barkhuizen 6 - He generally seems to do something very good followed by something poor whenever he gets it. 90% of his crosses are overhit.

Forsyth 6 - Didn't really notice him.

Wildsmith         7.5    3 or 4 excellent saves

Chester            6   Very steady for first game back. Should have used M-L more as an outlet in last 10 mins.

Knight              6    Usual energetic game

Roberts            6    Steady

Cashin              6    Steady as usual

Davies               5.5  Not yet fully match fit

McGoldrick       7   Did well, lively could/ should have scored a couple.

Sibley                6.5  Lively

Hourihane         6  Apart from scoring the two goals had a very poor game.

Mendez-Laing  7   Very lively when he came on. caused panic down the right hand side. Under used.

Bird ?              5   Tried hard but struggling at the moment

Collins                6  Did OK when he came on.

Barkhuizen         6.5   Lively. 

Forsyth               6   

Substitutions had a real effect on this game - well done Rosey.

You know goals win games right?  (Sibley better than CH?)
