Isn't it nice to have a few choices for MOTM.

I thought Clarke-Salter was superb especially in the second half.

Credit where it's due for Colback, we finally saw the player we wanted him to be.

I thought Dykes deserves praise too, his link play was excellent at times.

I thought we looked very good in the first half and were much the better team. In the 2nd half Millwall came more into the game but never really threatened. Their only decent chance was when Begovic nearly gave them a goal but luckily Cook and Cannon were on the line to clear.

A win and a clean sheet. We won't play many more teams as poor teams as Millwall but this will certainly be a confidence booster.

Chatted to a couple of fans on the tube back into town and they thought Jack Colback was their MotM. For me it was Steve Cook, who not only defended well but also marshalled the troops just as a captain should do. I guess there are a few others in the frame for MotM too. It was that sort of team performance.

Colback did have a good game today but I'm with you and I'd also have Steve Cook as MotM. The only other real contender for me would be Chair who played well, scored our first and played a part in the 2nd.

The combination of Cook and JCS looked solid and I feel more confident with these 2 at the centre of defence.

Here are the WLS 'scores on the door':

Asmir Begovic: 5
Shaky at times and was very fortunate to be rescued by Reggie Cannon’s clearance off the line after allowing Billy Mitchell’s shot to squirm through his legs.

Reggie Cannon: 6
Had a stinker of a game overall and his performance was littered with heavy touches and misplaced passes, but he was on hand when his team needed him most, clearing the danger after Begovic’s error.

Steve Cook: 7
Back in the side in place of the out-of-form Jimmy Dunne and Rangers looked much more solid as a result. Cook won several crucial headers and organised the defence well.

Jake Clarke-Salter: 8
Excellent. Quick, composed and always strong in the challenge. A highlight of his fine display was a superb tackle to halt Zian Flemming.

Kenneth Paal: 7
Solid at left-back and keen to get forward. Was involved in the build-up to the opening goal.

Jack Colback: 8
Recently back from injury and looked much sharper than previously. Covered plenty of ground, was good on the ball and kept going despite tiring in the second half.

Sam Field: 7
Protected the back four well and was always calm in possession.

Chris Willock: 7
More effective on the left or centre, particularly when operating close to Ilias Chair, but even on the right he managed to produce, setting up the opening goal with a left-footed cross and a couple of chances for Lyndon Dykes.

Lyndon Dykes: 7
Did well in his new withdrawn role and played a pivotal part in the build-up to the opening goal by controlling the ball nicely and finding Willock.

Ilias Chair: 8
Always a threat and willing to work hard. Made sure he was first to the ball when he got in front of Wes Harding to bundle in Willock’s cross for the opening goal and was involved in the build-up to the second goal as well.

Sinclair Armstrong: 7
Still raw, but his pace and power caused Millwall problems and he was on hand to tuck away a loose ball for the all-important second goal.
