Seems every week, my highest marks are for the defence and especially the central defenders. Wilson and Hourihane supplied the ammunition yesterday but we need a striker who will take advantage, particularly in tight games against better opponents.

1Wildsmith 6 Apart from a near-post block had Jack to do. 

24Nyambe 7.5 Shut the trap door on McMannaman. 

35Nelson 8.0 Imperious defending & game-winning goal. 

6Cashin 9.0 MotM A masterclass of a centre-half display. Industry, skill, vision and barn-door bulk.

3Forsyth 7.5 Some lovely passes & unlucky to have had his goal chalked off.

2Wilson 7.5 Brought a stunning save from Mr Tickle and delivered some very cute crosses from wide-right. 

22Fornah 6 Late legs brigade to see the game out. 

8Bird 7.0 Brought intricate quick passing and quick press and ran the game first half. 

4Hourihane 7.0 Combined well and kept the ball moving at pace first half. 

5Bradley 6 Late legs brigade; busted his nose on 97.

20Elder 97th min sub.

7Barkhuizen 7.0 Lively. Great cross for Nelson’s winner but should’ve scored early 2nd half but stabbed wide. 

19Sibley 6.0 Kept a grip on the game when under pressure. 

11Méndez-Laing 7.0 Not as outstanding as usual but did the full 90. 

9Collins 6.5 Unlucky not to score bringing out a good save from a very good opposition goal-keeper. 
 

Probably the best performance of the season. Derby were excellent and solidly dominant first half and despite pressure 2nd half we never looked vulnerable. As we sat in the mini-bus post-match a Wigan fan poked their head in and said “Well done - best team we’ve seen this season”.

[Eoghan1884]

1Wildsmith - 7 basically had nothing to do 

24Nyambe - 7.5 solid as always and had some nice passing in the attacking half 

35Nelson - 9.5 an animal at the back and scoring the winner. Close to perfect performance 

6Cashin - 8.5 Unreal as usual, what a player 

3Forsyth - 7 looked good first half on both sides of the ball. Slowed in the second half and his man did him a few times.

2Wilson - 7 more quiet than usual but still good 

22Fornah - 6 N/A

8Bird - 7.5 was amazing defensively and calm on the ball as always

4Hourihane - 6.5 didn’t do much right or wrong 

5Bradley - 6.5 the .5 for busting his nose for the win 

20Elder - 6 N/A

7Barkhuizen - 7 played well would be a 9 if he could finish 

19Sinbley - 6.5 was decent when he came on 

11Méndez-Laing - 7 didn’t look fully at it but still had moments 

9Collins - 7 worked amazingly hard but didn’t do much in the box

Pinched from the Wigan forum.

 

Just shows appearances can be deceiving...before the game i looked down at their number 6 and commented " who's that dumpy little fu**er ?"... well I looked up his name after the match..E. Cashin...no me neither. What a game that lad had, never missed a header or tackle. Absolute mom by a mile and just shows not to judge a book and all that.

[Ian Buxton's Bat]

ATG

Wildsmith 6.5…..spectator…..again

Nyambe 7.5……best RB option by a country mile. Much better with the ball than previously 

Nelson 8.5…..faultless

Cashin 9…….one stray pass but best player on pitch over the 90. 

Forsyth 7……..excellent…..unlucky to have goal chalked off

Wilson 7.5……lively…..could’ve had a goal and a couple of assists. Their LB was flapping for most of the game

Fornah 5.5……looked like he was carrying a bag of cement rather than injecting any zip but did make a couple of key tackles

Bird 7.5…..looks top class when we decide to play him IN midfield and play through midfield….great game

Hourihane 7.5….see Bird. Tackled and battled really well to say he was on a yellow for over 90 mins 

Bradley 6.5….. no need to go to a back 5 (again) but won some important battles 

Elder 6…….good sprint onto the pitch. Genius sub to get him on rather than waiting 30 secs for Bradley. Really impressive from Warne.

Barkhuizen 7……great assist. Lovely interplay throughout. Looked like a missed sitter live but NML did distract him

Sibley 6……OK

Mendez-Laing 7……reverse of last match. No 1v1 brilliance of note but interplay was excellent 

Collins….7……just missing a goal. Tireless. Really good performance.

442 kept them pinned in their half. Having NML, Barks, Wilson, Bird and Hourihane close together with the ball on the deck was A) effective and B) very easy on the eye.

Best 60 mins of the season. Tailed off a bit. Their 10 was the best player on the pitch after he came on. Glad he didn’t start.

Ref……generally good performance but the dishing out of yellows was very inconsistent and very lenient to the home team.
