Good solid win. A very hard working first half where we constantly pressed them and moved the ball about well. They'll be unhappy about the first (as it was a clear shove from Brewster) and gifted us the second, but we took our chances (and we don't always do that). The penalty would have sealed it but Millwall came back in the second half and dominated the possession without really creating much. Weird game really, because even in the first half we didn't create a great deal. Held on quite well in the end, thanks to the CBs.
Wes - 6 - Didn't have much to do but came and didn't get there once.
RND - 6.5 - Solid game defensively but didn't do a great amount going forward. At least drove a bit at them first half.
Clark - 7.5 - Looked extremely comfortable on the ball and very solid at the back. Even came forward a few times
Egan - 7 - Solid and did a good job of organising a new back 3
Anel - 8 - Looks a very good player. A bit too keen at times but covered really well and added a threat going forward
Baldock - 7 - Better game. Got forward well and defended well. Lots of energy.
Fleck - 6.5 - Much better game without being that flashy. Seemed to be more intensity to his game. Clever spot for the second
Norwood - 7 - Missed the pen (not a bad one but it was obvious where it was going) but had a good game. First half he was buzzing around dictating play. We lost control in the second but he kept going and looked sharp at the end
Berge - 7.5 - Really good at times and noticeably wanting the ball more. Had a bit more of an all-round game but also still slow when in possession and gets caught.
Ndiaye - 7.5 - Bets player first half. Took the goal well and was a constant nuisance. I thought he faded badly second half though and started to give the ball away too easily.
Brewster - 6 - Did well to win the pen and worked hard. Buzzes about and closed down well. Clearly getting his sharpness back.
Subs
Sharp - 7 - Very clever, as usual. Won free kicks and held the ball up well. Just what we needed
Jebbo - 6.5 - As was Jebbo. Came on and caused them a problem. Pressurised and didn't give them time on the ball
Osborn - 6.5 - Another who did well coming on. Helped wrestle control back.
Hecky - 8 - After the last game the first half was so much better. We were clearly up for it and played a much more high intensity game. Not giving them a second and they couldn't cope with it. We lost control second half but stood strong and were very well organised. People often complain about his substitutions but I thought he got it spot on today. They helped us take back control of the game
Millwall - They've got a lot of very solid players, especially at the back, but they were lack upfront. For all the dominance in the second half, I don't think they troubled Wes. Bennett and Afobe aren't great, to be polite. They do well this season, but no chance of going up. It was all much of a muchness for their MOTM. Shackleton looked busy and the the tall CBs were pretty good.
