Player Ratings
Wimbledon



Taylor
- Unusually nervous with crosses and handling in general.

Tebily - Steady if not spectacular.

Kenna - Struggled against McAnuff's pace on occasions, but generally sound.

Purse - The kind of game that suits him, and he played well.

Cunningham - Enjoyed the game against his old club, and was rarely troubled.

Johnson - Quiet early on, but became a threat when drifting inside in the latter stages.

Dunn - Not at his best, and worringly leaving play early again through injury.

Savage - Very quiet with regards his usual antics, but did his job effectively enough.

Hughes - Good all round performance, showing plenty of neat touches and incisive movement.

John - Frustrating, given his performance at Stamford Bridge. Can do much more.

Morrison - Worked hard, held the ball up well, but lacks killer instinct in front of goal.

SUBS:

Forssell - Provided a new threat for Wimbledon with his running, but unable to breakthrough.

Clapham - Welcome return, even if it was in an unaccustomed midfield role.


Subs Not Used: Bennett, Kirovski, Carter.
