From O Neil in midfield. Did not put a foot wrong with Onuaha not far behind. |  | | |  |

He played well but in the second leg, I'd like to see a more positive line up and reckon O'Neil will have to make way. [Post edited 9 May 2014 21:48]

O'Neil is really good at housekeeping, he tidy's stuff up....but that's it.
Great choice by Redknapp, who has said Gary O'Neil never lets him down, don't think he'll score a goal, create a goal, but he really sweeps stuff up, good feet! |  | | |

You're all wrong, Jordi Gomez was MOTM.  | | | |

I thought that as well, mom to a player that missed a chance he would normally score. |  |

Was that the question? MOTM, therefore The Chief is my choice, but perhaps for the first time, only Greens flap and Dunnes pace caused any real nerves for me.
Every other player and our Manager did pretty well, great result!
Now to put Wigan in their place on Monday...bit more difficult but now the Fan's are at home. COYRrrrrs! | | | |

I did not expect that. He was excellent all game. Fair play to Rednapp who I was cussing when I saw the line up. | | | |

Other than the one shot I don't think Gomez offered that much. But I guess they want to give it to a supposed positive player than one who just gets on with it. |  | | |

Jordi Gomez got a lucky bounce through the legs, it could just as easily run into touch....Green couldn't get out of the way.....MOTM, Gomez.....a good game with un-surprisingly a lot of contenders. Goals win match's, so 0-0, must have a defender as MOTM...Simpson, close, it's Nedum Onouha? By some distance! MOTM!
Clint Hill would have been MOTM but my telly caught his every crime....legend! | | | |

Thought the Chief was MOTM by some distance, focused and won everything where the more senior defenders dropped the odd Ricket, Hill a very lucky boy |  | | |

Bizarre how often on here 'player does job he's asked to do' turns into 'masterclass' or 'immense'. Zamora the other week, BAE v Forest and now this. O'Neil was fine, worked hard. Solid 6/10. Well played. But masterclass? Let's not get carried away, eh? |  |

Considering the importance of the game he was outstanding . I would like to see his stats for the match and as for a 6/10 you must be joking! | | | |

Overall a very solid performance tonight. Thought Ned and Clint marshalled the back line really well.
O'Neil was excellent. |  |

Bet you anything that's what Clive gives him!
Look, I'm not having a go at him at all - considering he normally gets subbed at half time i thought he was fine, as i said - worked phenomenally hard as he always does. But I didn't see anything there that could be described as a masterclass that's all! Not having a go Boston, at you or him. But it was a tight game, where neither side really took any chances and both were very cagey. I'm not sure anyone on the pitch got above a 6/10 to be honest. Did anyone really stand out? I don't think so. It was a nervy game to watch for us, but any neutral would have turned off well before the end and said 'two average sides with average players content for a draw and take their chances in the 2nd leg.' That's all! | |

So to get more than 6/10 he would have had to have bicycled-kicked a goal, given several assists and headed a few off the line. Do you understand the job he was given to do and how well he did it? |  |

No, but he'd need to have created an opportunity or two, or made a truly outstanding tackle when we were short or done something out of the ordinary that would at least have had me saying 'great stuff Gary', yes.
I think we're probably just at odds as to what 6/10 means to each other! To me 6/10 is job done - nothing fancy, but done what was asked of him and didn't make any serious mistakes. There's probably a decent argument for a 7, but to me it was a solid 6 - and I'd give that mark to probably all our players, with one or two getting a 5 (through not much fault of their own) and perhaps Ned edging a 7.
What would you say his job was? He rarely got near the Wigan box, for example (and when he did his two shots were pretty dreadful!) because that clearly wasn't his job, so he never needed to take a risk or commit himself, so really there was not much danger of him being caught out of position or whatever. He had to hold in the centre and he did that well enough - although almost all of Wigan's threat, such as it was (and it wasn't a lot, which is again why I don't think anyone had an amazing game - we were never seriously tested, partly because we were compact and organised but partly because Wigan were very cagey and didn't want to take a deficit to LR) came down the flanks, where actually Hoilett, who I would say had a better all round game than O'Neil, had to work very hard in tandem with Hill, yet still carried a threat going forward. Hoilett in fact was forced to almost play left back for periods in the first half, yet still did well to get up and support the attack.
Now, that wasn't necessarily O'Neil's job (to support the attack) - he had a simple job, and did it. Fine. I'm not criticising his play AT ALL. He played well. But it's a 6, or a 7 if you want to be more positive ;), and a masterclass only in the sense of playing a very specific, very limiting role pretty well. | |

Masterclass? I don't think so. Better in the centre than out wide. Worked tirelessly in a pretty solid defensive display. But couple of wayward passes that went for throw ins and a pathetic shot from a really good dummy on the edge of the box that a bloke in Row R caught.
He did better than he normally does- he didn't get subbed like he normally does.
Ned was MOM by a long way | | | |

we still need to beware as wigan have been well schooled in the dark arts the last few years. |  | | |
