1Wildsmith.  9 Two great saves and exuded confidence throughout. Pointless/dangerous him taking FKs when the opposition holds a very high line though.

 

35Nelson.   8.  Ashford & Simpson 

 

3Forsyth.  8.  Welcome back, ledge 

 

6Cashin.   8.  The Rock of Cashel is jelly compared to the Rock of Cashin

 

23Ward.  6.  

 

2Wilson.   8.  Great goal, great cameo.

 

32Adams.   8.  Superb again.

 

4Hourihane. 5.  Looked lost and mistakes led to Bolton pressure. Can't play in a 2 anymore.

 

16Thompson. 7.  Busy. Broke up play and used the ball well.

 

17Sibley.  6.5.  Had a tough job defensively but stuck at it.

 

20Elder.  7.  Great corner and defensive presence useful in protecting lead.

 

7Barkhuizen.  6.5. Disciplined performance until substituted.

 

10Waghorn.  6.  Another run out and did his bit.

 

25Gayle.  6.  Fingers crossed his injury doesn't end his season.

 

12Smith.  7.   Again, was a stabilising influence and offered more than the skipper. Must be close to a start.

 

11Méndez-Laing.  6.5.  Looked tired, touch not quite there, but kept trying to stretch Bolton's defence.

1Wildsmith 9.5 Two world class saves that effectively won us the match, not had much confidence in him lately, but wow what a performance yesterday 

35Nelson 9 Mr consistent, never seen him have a bad game

3Forsyth 9 First start for weeks, great game and needs to start every week alongside Cash and Nelson

6Cashin 9.5 just edged it for me over Nelson and Forsyth, blocked everything 

23Ward 7 thought he was unlucky to be subbed at half time, just goes to show what I know 🙈

2Wilson 8.5 what a substitution, he’ll never play a better 45 minutes than that

32Adams 9 worked tirelessly for 90 minutes, was a real thorn in Boltons side 

4Hourihane 4 sorry but he just hasn’t got the legs to start games anymore

16Thompson 7.5 must be close now to getting a start, a real bundle of energy 

17Sibley 7 not his best game but worked hard

20Elder 7 crossed for the goal and must be pushing for a start

7Barkhuizen 6 was quiet yesterday after a good couple of performances 

10Waghorn 6 worked hard but still doesn’t look match fit 

25Gayle 6 I’ve said all along great signing if we can keep him fit, just hope Collins or Wash are back soon

12Smith 7 worked hard when he came on, either him or Tommo has to start alongside Adams

11Méndez-Laing 8 his tracking back has improved 100 per cent from when he first arrived, was also our most dangerous player

would like to see CBT get some more game time, especially with our strikers dropping like flies

1Wildsmith 8, 2 great saves, thought the first was in, very confident, good punching clear too

35Nelson 7 solid, slightly uncomfortable on rh side

3Forsyth 9, astonishing performance given recent injury, won all his headers 

6Cashin 8, solid, maturing well

23Ward 6

2Wilson 7, good going forward 

32Adams 7.5, very competitive, constantly manhandled, good that he tries to shoot a lot (not very successfully)

4Hourihane 5, only good in first 10 minutes, should be on bench

16Thompson 7, good energy, mazy dribbles, needs games to get confidence to shoot

17Sibley 6, unlucky to be subbed 

20Elder 6

7Barkhuizen 7, threatened first half, unlucky to go off

10Waghorn 7.5, good physical presence kept the Bolton defence busy

25Gayle 6, unlucky, get well soon!

12Smith 7, busy, added midfield presence

11Méndez-Laing 7, tried hard, not much came off

Warne 9, good team selection, substitutions and game management 

 

Ratings based on first game of season, therefore no pre conceived ideas.

1Wildsmith 9 save of the season first half, and another great save second half, kicking was a bit off

35Nelson 9 Outstanding performance 

3Forsyth 9 Great to have him back, rock solid and good on the ball

6Cashin 9 Head, head, slide tackle, head

23Ward 6.5 Was having a decent game but obviously had a knock

2Wilson 8 run - head - goal

32Adams 9 If we'd had him from day 1 we'd be winning this league, has filled a big gap in team capabilities

4Hourihane 5 doesn't have the legs for games like this

16Thompson 7.5 his bundles of energy are well known, but he's got great feet too

17Sibley 6.5 played well I thought, surprised to see him hooked

20Elder 7 Great corner for the goal, looked to get forward more than previously

7Barkhuizen 6 as a 10 he was ok, looked lost as a 9 and a natural sacrifice after Gayle's injury

10Waghorn 6 led the line well enough

25Gayle 6 so sorry to see him injured

12Smith 8 again, came on and made a big difference with his passing ability

11Méndez-Laing 8 consistently a threat, good defensive work

At the game

1Wildsmith - 8.5 - looked very good with his hands, a few crucial saves, but did look a bit nervy with his feet at times

35Nelson - 8 - just another solid game

3Forsyth - 9 - quality performance

6Cashin - 9 - dominant in the air, good on the floor, covered Sibley well down the left

23Ward - 7 - thought he had a decent first half, looked good going forward

2Wilson - 8 - had the better of the Bolton left side after coming on and won the header for the goal

32Adams - 9 - was everywhere, another performance which made me hope we get him permanently in the summer

4Hourihane - 6.5 - slightly above average, but his legs seem to have gone now and lacks any pace. Really struggled against a more mobile midfield

16Thompson - 7.5 - the opposite to Hourihane physically, while he doesn’t seem to be a quick player in the nml or cbt style he was able to accelerate to get away from or close down opposition and his agility made it even harder for Bolton to win the ball off him.

17Sibley - 7 - I thought he was slightly above average, but ended up out of position a few times and was taken off just in time imo

20Elder - 6 - didn’t do too much to stand out after coming on, but more importantly he did nothing wrong

7Barkhuizen - 7 - made some decent runs and did pretty well without scoring or creating big chances

10Waghorn - 6.5 - like elder didn’t do nothing wrong and used his experience to finish the game off

25Gayle - 6.5 - looked like he was making some decent runs, but often lacked the service and was never going to win anything in the air against their CB

12Smith - 6.5 - another who didn’t do anything amazing, but importantly didn’t make any mistakes. I’m probably being a bit harsh with his rating

11Méndez-Laing - 8 - yet another good performance and was probably our biggest threat (minus Wilson) going forward

1Wildsmith - 9  Best match winning performance in a Derby shirt. The odd wayward pass but one world class save and another great one to keep it 0–0. The first one is his save of the season so far. MOTM for me. 

35Nelson - 8 Played well. With their front line it’s a battle all game which he was equal to. 

3Forsyth - 8.5 Played well. With their front line it’s a battle all game which he was equal to. Also an extra .5 for having a better passing range and also not looking out of place after not starting for a considerable time. 

6Cashin - 8 As above with Nelson but thought he did an immense covering and shielding job time and time again, got caught out for first and the second big chance so loses .5 for that. 

23Ward - 6 Was having a solid game until his calf tightened up. 

2Wilson - 8.5 When he’s on it like that you can’t ask for a better person to terrify the opposition, get some crosses in and most importantly hold up the ball and waste precious time. And he scored to win us the game! 

32Adams - 8.5 what an absolute player. As other have said, if he’d been with us all year we’d be 15 points clear. Must be covered in bruises after every game. Half inflicted by him but half by the opposition giving him a kicking. Should have won a peno as well. 

4Hourihane - 4 Thought 3 games in a week would be too much and he was the weak link even before his 20 mins of legs left him. After that he was a massive liability who kept giving the ball away and also couldn’t track any player. As much as a good servant he’s been he’s no longer a starter for me. 

16Thompson - 8 In the half he played he showed what we are missing from that player who can give us the old Knight energy as well as holding the ball up and drawing a crowd of opposition players to him before finding an open white shirt. Best game from him for a while and pushing for a start. 

17Sibley - 7  Had a job to do defensively which he did, got overlapped for the second big chance but he was on his man. Got pulled at the right time being on a yellow and not giving the ref any descision to make on another tackle. 

20Elder - 7 Short cameo gave us an assist and a solid defensive presence. Perfect subs job. 

7Barkhuizen - 7 Was doing a good job before moving to a very unfamiliar role which he struggled with. He helped get us to half time which was vital.  Unlucky with an injury after playing better in recent weeks. 

10Waghorn - 6 Looks off the pace of the game but did a job of that striker role. Was a good call not to bring him on as the direct replacement to Gayle as his legs don’t currently have 60 mins in them. 

25Gayle - 6 Was a threat while he was on and makes some great runs. Devastated for him with the hamstring but sadly to be expected adding stress after such a lay off from competitive games. 

12Smith - 7.5 Did well again and kept it simple and helped sure up the middle. As I’ve said, he was at the end of lots of my criticism early in the season but he’s playing like a different player now. 

11Méndez-Laing - 6.5 Struggled with control and end product for much of the game but was a constant threat nevertheless. Never stopped running and gave his all though. 
 

Warne - 9. Managed with all he had at his disposal and made the changes necessary and we got the win.

Wildsmith….8.5…..two magnificent saves 

35Nelson….8…..it’s getting boring now……Solid.

3Forsyth…8.5….superb return. 

6Cashin….8…..see Nelson

23Ward…..5.5……did Ok. Essentially played in a back 5 which isn’t his forte.

2Wilson…..7.5….good goal and runs the clock down better than anyone else. Really good.

32Adams…7….another very good afternoon. Everywhere.

4Hourihane….5.5….funny one. Thought he deserved to be hooked and then thought we really missed him for 30 mins. Needs an extra body in there if it’s a back 5 rather than a back 3

16Thompson….6….poor for 30 mins then came good at a vital time

17Sibley…..6….essentially played in a back 5. Did ok

20Elder…..6.5…good first touch!

7Barkhuizen…..6…..ok-ish in a poor-ish first half. Hope he’s fit as he’s great at relieving pressure when we’re under the cosh

10Waghorn….6….glad he’s fit….needs to find  proper decent form now Gayle is out 

25Gayle……6….quiet before injury

12Smith…..7.5……very quietly had a fantastic game

11Méndez-Laing….7…..not his best game but constant outlet and threat. Worked hard.
