    Thought Kennedy had his best game in a reds shirt. Mvoto dominated in the air and looked solid. Nayatanga solid. Etuhu put in a real good shift, and used pace to create attacks.

    Another big shout out goes to Luke Steele faultless he claimed, punched, rush out, kicked well today.

    Midfield did well. Good to see Lawrence improving each game. Dawson really starting to show some fight in the middle.

    Cog and Cwyka held up play and worked hard but sadly never looked like scoring. Can't criticise work rate though

    Any one of the back four should have been Man of the Match. They were all immense and like you say, that was Kennedy's best ever performance for us.

    He played just as well at Reading and Yeovil as did all the back 4. Such a shame we have to change it on Tuesday

    Spot on. Top defensive display but they offered little going forward.

    Dawson has always had 'the fight' but sadly his ability lets him down. He gives the ball away far too often.

    TK should have got the MoM today, he was outstanding in a very impressive back four.

    Lawrence had a poor first half imho, improved second half. TK played well as did all the back five - well done lads!

    Close to my MOTM today. I think Mark Crossley has had an affect already on him. He didn't have much to save today but that's because he made his job easier for himself by coming for the ball. It was great to see him confidently calling for the ball so often and he must have been on the edge of his box an handful of times. Every kick all game was a good straight one too. The best one he collected was in the 1st half when he was really stretching for it over his head and only just reached it to catch. Another game and he might have left it for the defence to deal with. All good :)
