Norris. A couple of precarious moments but another clean sheet 6.5
Sparkes. Better in defence. Combattive but not quite the same with his crosses. 6.5
Shockers. Steady, as always 7
Raggett. MOM. Always available for a pass, three great long passes, comfortable on the ball, a goal. 8.5
Rafferty. Apart from one very dodgy moment, a lot better today. 7
Pack. A very steadying influence. 7.5
Robbo. So classy. 8
Saydee. Great control and just bludgeons his way through defenders. 8
Lane. Two goals and very sharp on the break. 8
Yengi. Showed plenty of promise and proved capable of holding the ball up 7.5
Kamara. Not quite there today but plenty of effort. 6.5

Subs

Martin. He came on. 6.5
Devlin. A bit hurried. 6.5
Whyte. Not enough time to show. 6.5
Stevenson. Ditto. 6.5
Agree with those Cunni.
Not surprised Norris was booked for time wasting, he does tend to do that rather a lot.
Rafferty started slowly but got better as the game went on.
Raggers excellent, hardly put a foot wrong, made a couple of incisive passes and scored an excellent text book header.
Shockers steady, like Raggers, brought the ball out nicely on a couple of occasions.
Sparkes ironically better in defence today and not so good going forward, a couple of uncharacteristic wayward crosses.
Pack excellent, bar two bad passes orchestrated the game with Robertson who shows incredible confidence for a young lad, ran his socks off.
Kamara not as dangerous as other days, slipped up a couple of times and as Guy says, often takes one touch too many.
Saydee = man mountain, incredibly strong on the ball and a great assist for Lane's first. Also dribbled past four of em but his shot was blocked.
Lane took his goals well and could well have scored two more.
Yengi fought well without much luck. Strong and pretty quick. Did well enough for his first league start.

Subs. Thought Martin looked better today with one excellent cross field ball and a couple of nice runs.
Devlin didn't do much but what de did was ok.
Stevenson solid enough.
Whyte not long on the pitch, touched it a couple of times.

Excellent performance all round against a team who beat Blackpool recently. Toppa the league and looking good. A win over Bolton would really put the cat amongst the pigeons. PUP
A win against Bolton would reduce/eliminate that goal difference.

Spares took the corner for raggett to score the first goal.
great to see Raggett proving his doubters wrong
Like all players, he needs a game or two to get back to form after a long layoff.
Hope he keeps it up
He has to, to keep his place. That’s what competition for places is all about.

I hope he keeps Poole out for the rest of the season and scores a hatful of goals. If he does, we’ll all be happy.
An excellent response to the loss last Saturday.  Well done Moutinho and the team 6 pts, 5 goals and 2 clean sheets.  PUP!! 
Although, the first half against Blackpool we should have been 2-1 up, the last two games has seen the team play with more urgency, commitment and passion in comparison. 
Our manager is wrong, he isn't greedy.  Great win and only 4 off being the best in the league, but goal difference is important.

Come on down, Bolton.

Moutinho. 

There’s another one for the collection Big Grin
Very welcome performance that!

Very happy.

Big boost.
