Rafael deserves 9 maybe even 10, an extremely good performance from him. Neither of our goals conceded were due to the fault of Rafael. At 3-2 he made a couple of outstanding saves that kept us in the game. Brilliant performance.
Esteves - 7. A tad harsh, he looked exciting and a hot prospect down the right, only issue is if we can sign him! He gave away the ball a couple of times in the middle of the park and was caught out of position a couple of times too. This will come with experience.
Moore and Morrison - 7.
Ultimately we did concede twice, which is double what we have conceded in the entire season! Armstrong was a nuisance and a great talent for Blackburn. The centre halfs let him go twice in the box and score. Despite this very good and brilliant this season

Richards - 9
Arguably my motm, I loved watching Richards and Olise link up down the left, it was a spectacle to watch. Looked like he delivered a few really good crosses which Joao could have easily got on the end of. Richards was also very solid in defense, couldn't get past him

Rinomhota - 9
With still no Swift Rinomhota was a brick wall as usual but also helped the defense with playing out the back and acted as a playmaker along with winning the ball. Sensational performance.

Laurent - 9
As one of Bowen's signings Laurent has looked like a brilliant purchase. It is not too often we see Josh Laurent up the field in goal scoring opportunities. However, when his chance came he took it superbly. We were not over ran in midfield, thanks to Laurent and Rino

Meite - 8.5
Once again a great performance and it only took him 9.55 seconds to get on the score sheet! Quicker than Bolt. Great initiative from Meite and Joao for the goal. Looks in his best form under Pauno and always give 100% for the team.

Semedo - 8
With no Ejaria in the side last night, I was wondering whether we would lack any creativity, Semedo stepped up with 2 assists. Maybe it was just me, but I didn't see Semedo on the ball too much, still a great performance and 2 valuable assists.

Olise - 9
Could've been 10 with his performance, what a player, what a game. Olise has got a very bright future ahead of him. He played the ball over the top to score in 9.55 seconds. Tucked away a brilliant goal to get our second and linked up very well with Richards.

Joao - 9
Last but certainly not least Lucas Joao! A brilliant performance from the goal machine. His flick for the first goal to Meite showed great initiative and intelligence. Took his chance when he got it, very clinical. A very nice finish from a difficult angle.

Overall a great team performance from the lads. Blackburn were a very good side and Armstrong was certainly a threat. Our midfield was superb. Top of the league and 7 points clear! Up the Ding.
