He received an average rating of 6.18 following the 2-0 win away at Milton Keynes Dons last season. Some of the comments can be found below:

sedgleyimp: “I’ll give him a 7. Not bad. Bit fussy (Dons first-half corner being a prime example where he marched across to see if it was touching the quadrant) Not entirely sure he knew what had happened with the handbags in the second half by the dugouts, but overall okay.”

berksimps: “Thought he was reasonably good, although Pett was continually fouled well before the yellow came out. Did someone in our technical area stop them taking a throw? Why was Akinde booked? Did Akinde control the ball with his arm before passing to Andrade before he scored?

6.5.”

evenstephen: “Was very inconsistent especially in the first half and overly fussy. He was better in the second and wasn’t conned by the MK Dons penalty attempts. Might have handled the melee a bit better though. 6/10.”
