A comfortable win in the end but another performance littered with mistakes from a number of players .At one point I just couldn`t see us scoring even against the ten men but that might have just been nerves from me after we had given away another early goal and were struggling to get any passing together . Team performance was a bit better than the last couple of games but not many stand out performances in my opinion.
Butland had one save to make in the second half , felt that he could have done better at the cross for the goal but watching it again maybe I`m being a bit harsh. A spectator for most of the game.
Tavernier , unlucky with the ball hitting him for the own goal, penalty was struck well and it was a good save , had a decent game going forward , put in some great crosses and good passes .
Barisic , seemed more up for it and showed more urgency, weak in the build up to their goal though , but got forward and put some good crosses from open play and corners.
Balogun struggled to cope with the physicality of Vassell and looked nervy in possession .Off at half time.
Souttar , also struggled with Vassell and was pushed around too much , passing was off and too slow . Nodded in a late goal from close range .
Lundstram , started off too deep but as game went on got more and more influential with good passing and control of midfield , set up first two goals and went close with another shot.
Diomande , struggled again with the press and lack of space and was dispossessed too easily , got better as game went on and space opened up , hit the bar late on.
Sterling , set the tone by attacking the left back every chance he got showing great pace and power .Won the penalty and set up what should have been a goal if Dessers had made a near post run.
Cantwell , tried hard as always but nothing much came off , tried to link play but couldn`t find any space to create. Had a couple of shots over the top but definitely not his day.
Silva , our main danger , created the penalty incident , scored the vital equaliser and had another two of three shots saved by the keeper. Probably his best game for us so far.
Dessers absolutely rotten , twice wasted good chances by taking extra touches and losing the ball , headed one wide and caught on his heels when Sterling set him up . Mr Hyde yesterday.
Davies , started with wasted passes and a wild shot but settled down and was comfortable at the back .Followed in a shot to get his first goal for the club and what a vital one it was.
McCausland , got on the ball a bit more and attacked down the right , fed Lawrence neatly for our last two goals and looked livelier than he has done for weeks.
Lawrence scored a superb goal with a neat dribble and great strike and also set up the fourth with another powerful shot . Looked really sharp and a lot closer to his best .
Yilmaz got a late run out , made a couple of tackles and put a couple of crosses in.
Raskin , also on late , was neat and tidy in possession without influencing the game much.
Silva had probably his best game or us ,looked more dangerous , and stayed on his feet, Sterling was powerful and dangerous up and down the right wing but my MOTM was John Lundstram , he was always showing the urgency we needed , demanding the ball and trying to get others involved , great ball set up Silva for the equaliser and his volley from the corner routine resulted in our second goal. Definitely the stand out for me.
