Derby County Vs. Sheffield Wednesday: player ratings

[chadlad]

Wildsmith 7 great save in 2nd half. 

Smith 6 defended well, nothing going forward

Cashin 7 solid defending, passing radar off at times

Forsyth 8 excellent MOM

Sibley 7 good with the ball, not tested defensively

Dobbin 6 felt he lacked determination at times

Bird ? 7 got battered, played well

Barkhuisen 6.5 worked hard

Hourihane 6.5 looking fitter

McGoldrick 6.5 Wendies kept him quiet 

Collins 6 feeding off scraps, might have done better with 2nd half chance 

Subs, 6

Decent game despite no goals. We looked solid against a top L1 team. Onwards and upwards ⚽️?

 

 

[Ellafella]

Wildsmith 7.5 Clean sheet. Only had 1 intervention to make indicating defensive solidity.

Smith 7 Effective & keeps it simple with a pass. Thought he was seriously injured at one point but recovered after magic sponge  treatment.

Cashin 7 Huge skill full workhorse but a couple of stray passes could have cost.

Forsyth 8.5 Another MotM show. Faultless. Has learned the right centre half role well & has the intelligence to play it well.

Sibley 7 Playing out of position for the team at LB. Busy and got in several crosses. Sometimes the crosses need to go in sooner.

Dobbin 7 Very Effective at in-field running past ? opponents but invariably doesn’t produce the telling pass or shot. PW needs to work on this as we should be exploiting teams more.

Knight 6.5 Had <10 mins but so glad he’s back.

Bird ? 7.5 Played as the team’s Central Processing Unit. Very good linking play. Got roughed up & no protection from the cardboard cut-out referee. 

Roberts 6.5 Had < 5 mins but glad he’s bad. He was at peak form when he got injured. 

Barkhuisen 7.5 Hard-working & produced a beautiful dummy which left the full-back statuesque & him steam train-like down the wing but the final cross often dissolved into nothing. 

Hourihane 6.5 Some lovely passes but never enough industry for me.

McGoldrick 7 Produced a pile-driver which worked their keeper but his clever play didn’t seem to connect with a team mate. 

Osula 6 Had to do a lot of hard-work but no real service to him.

Collins 7 Physical presence but largely frustrating afternoon for him.

Mendez-Laing 6 Only 2 forays after coming on. Glad he’s back.

A satisfactory outcome. Unbeaten in 8. We’ve come through a very tough spell. Expect PW to work on our forward cutting edge via the transfer window. If we are to get into play-offs, we need more teeth up front. We either need a midfielder who can slice defences with a killer pass or a forward who can be prolific. Easy to say - hard to find.

@Magicmanwill be fuming at you lot. 6s, 7s, 8s, even a 9 if I'm not mistaken. @Magicman will probably spontaneously combust when he reads this thread.
