Ingram - comfortable and a great bit of skill in the 2nd half to take it round an attacker. Looked like he would get caught by a block on a couple of occasions, but got it away. 6 Furlong - energetic on the right 7 Robinson -pretty rusty looking and not as dynamic as I'd hope; poor delivery on occasion 5.5 Caulker- I know it was against a League 1 side, but so comfortable all night. On this showing, still the best CB we have currently fit. 7 Ned - some good blocks, but caught in possession again and woeful distribution 5 Borysiuk 7 combative, kept it very simple. Looked composed. 7 Yeni - some glimpses of skill, good work rate, there when needed for the goal 6.5 Manning - anonymous for the first half. Drifted more central and improved in the second half. 6 Freeman- good on the ball, but little end product. Looked light he was light on options in front of him. Smith -woeful tonight, awful touch, ineffective. 4.5 Sylla - not much better than Smith, more of a threat,but fell over too much. 5
Subs Washington - good energetic cameo; our top striker on show. 6.5 Chair - fantastic debut. Always looked for the ball and some good moves. Made things happen. 7 Petrasso - better from Mikey, looked threatening at times. 6.5
Must say I'm surprised at the positive Caulker comments. Looked rusty as hell to me and nearly cost us a goal straight from the kick off after we'd taken the lead.
Looked like he was playing well within himself to me and generally looked comfortable. Still, compared to the Chief's distribution last night, anyone would have looked good!
Not sure he was great, but didn't think he was bad either...

Obviously a bit of ring rust last night and who knows how long his latest restoration will last but who would the majority of supporters want to see at centre back, Caulker or Perch?

Caulker if he can get his head right. Looked a long way off last night to me - which is understandable, he's barely played for a year and he has had some bad injuries in that time as well as the extra curricular stuff.
midfielder. According to wiki he came to us from standard liege.
His previous club was Lierse in Belgium. He's a Belgian national of Morroccan heritage. He joined us in January and scored in a friendly on his debut (I think). Made about 5 or 6 official appearances for the Under 23s at the rear end of last season. Including friendlies he has scored 5 goals in about a dozen or so games for the Under 23s. Last week he was the best player on the pitch at Billericay Town when everyone was focusing on Caulker.
Would be nice to see Chair given a run out on Saturday should Washington be out. Smith and Sylla flattering to deceive. Sounds like he may have a bit more natural flair than either Washington and Mackie.

I assume he prefers to receive the ball on the deck.
Hope you don't mind me sharing this - here's how the game looked from a neutral perspective.
Was impressed with Caulker, glad to see him seemingly back on track.
I wouldnt whinge about the hotdog mate... Dick Mennace came all the way from Nowrich & couldnt get a cup of tea at 1/2 time...(hasn't let us forget it mind).
Thought Ingram was great, saved a 1 on 1 and got the rebound, stopped everything else and had to deal with 3-4 suicidal back passes with no issues.
He also on 2 seperate occasions did a 'Smithies' and launched counter attacks with fast, accurate distribution. One in the first half to Freeman was particularly amazing.
Very impressive, especially with how little game time he's got in last few seasons.
