Westwood 7 - mister reliable was back. Caught everything in the box and could do little for their goal.
Hunt 7 - one of his better games and a few decent balls played in the box. Needs to do this more often
Lees 7 - won everything in the air and cool on the ball
Loovens 7 - he and lees look solid together. Real blow him getting injured as he could miss the rest of this calendar year.
Reach 7 - looks better at LB than pudil but I reckon forestieri, wallace and buckley being out will push him back into midfield
Wallace 5 - don't see what he offers. Poor crosses, doesn't run the wing, constantly turns in and forces us narrow.
Lee 7 - very good game from him and I'm not his biggest fan tbh. Could win me round playing like that every week
Hutch 8 - my MOTM. Bosses midfield then bosses CB. The three challenges he put in in 30 seconds were a thing of wonder. Capable at CB but I'd rather have him CM
Bannan 6 - wasted on left. Doesn't seem to be working for him lately. I'd try abdi instead
Forestieri 4 - he can't go around reacting to people how he has. I actually missed his goal but I dont think he was playing particularly well anyway.
Joao 7 - very good performance by him and I would play him every game provided he is fit. Him and Hooper could be brilliant up top

Jones 6 - didn't notice him do anything spectacular but didn't notice him do anything wrong either. Suppose that's his game though
Buckley 6 - better than Wallace and did well for the penalty. Would be more but he played injured for 15 mins so can't really judge. Top effort from him though. Still closed down the best he could and probably prevented an equaliser late on when he blocked the path on goal and forced them wide
Fletcher 6 - good penalty but not much else. Looks a bit rusty but could get a few games now with Hooper, forestieri and possibly joao missing

Overall a decent performance in a poor game where the opposites came to play spoilsports. With better decision making it could have been 4 or 5 nil but at least the points are on the board. For the next game I would play this team

Westwood
Hunt lees hutch pudil
Bannan Lee Jones reach
Abdi Fletcher

Provided everyone who went off is out and no one returns from injury

Saw Hutch's challenges.. He's a beast
