Portsmouth v Fulham: Player rankings

Here's how I scored the lads in our day of destiny battle at Fratton Park


Keller - 7/10
Despite losing his head for a few seconds and charging around trying to dribble past attackers, he was in great form and made some outstanding saves.

Konchesky - 7/10
Super performance. Solid as a rock and started to come forward more which was good to see.

Hughes - 6/10
Quietly competent.

Hangeland - 8/10
Brilliant performance. Fast becoming our Rio Ferdinand. Looked calm, composed and nullified the threat of Jermaine Defoe.

Stalteri - 6/10
Another decent performance. Put in some telling crosses.

Bullard - 6/10
Feels like treason whenever you talk about Jimmy in anything other than fulsome praise, but not one of his better showings. Gave the ball away a lot but it was his free kick that led to the goal.

Murphy - 8/10
A very good performance, crowned with the winning goal. He 'rose like a salmon' as a mate of mine watching on the box commented later.

Davies - 7/10
The usual bustling display from one of our contenders for player of the season.

Dempsey - 6/10
Again, a decent display. Made way for Nevland in the second half as we stepped up the pace to get that all important goal.

Kamara - 6/10
Frustrating one minute; genius the next. The performance was this guy in a nutshell. Still great to have him in the team and his runs terrify defences.

McBride - 7/10
Led the line and was an inspiration...as always.

Substitutes

Nevland - 6/10
Beautiful bit of skill to take the ball round a defender and unlucky it didn't lead to a goal.

Andreason - 6/10
Solid as usual.

Man of the Match: Danny Murphy. His all-round performance merited it - and the goal put the decision beyond doubt.
