Chesterfield 3 West Brom 3 - Player ratings

Lewis Cox gives you the West Brom player ratings for their 3-3 draw with Chesterfield.

Published

David Button

His first action since start of October did not go to plan, shipping three goals by half-time. Might have done better for at least one. Did make one top reaction save.

Mixed 5

Taylor Gardner-Hickman

Has performed well in midfield at times of late but right-back here. Clearly not his natural position but did his best. Nice assist for last-gasp goal.

Switched 6

Martin Kelly

Managed less than an hour, unsurprisingly, after such little action. Mixed on ball and stretched at the back.

Tired 5

Semi Ajayi

Back in defence after four months out and it looked like it. Some rash clearances and passes and ropey moments, but useful minutes.

Rusty 5

Zac Ashworth

The only academy youngster involved. Ashworth had it tough at left-back but was offered little protection. Hooked at break.

Lesson 5

Jake Livermore

The skipper’s first start since Corberan’s first game and he struggled to make an impact with or without the ball.

Ineffective 5

Adam Reach

Central midfield first half and left-back in the second. Nice assist for Grant’s goal, otherwise he was a willing runner down the left.

Willing 6

Grady Diangana

Did not do nearly enough in a game where his quality should have shone through and made a difference.

Struggled 4

Tom Rogic

Almost invisible in the attacking midfield role. Struggled to get on the ball and make anything happen.

Anonymous 4

Karlan Grant

Another rare starter but by minute 20 he had an assist and first goal since August. Went totally off the boil afterwards.

Tailed off 6

Brandon Thomas-Asante

Continues as the unlikely hero. Fine strike after 90 seconds and busy throughout, deserved his late equaliser, a very good header.

Ruthless 7

Substitutes

Jayson Molumby (for Ashworth, 45) Visitors needed legs and impetus. A bit overly-fancy at times 6. Dara O’Shea (for Kelly, 55) Helped shore up defence 6. Daryl Dike (for Rogic, 55) Made a difference but off-pace at times. Spurned a couple of openings 5. Jed Wallace (for Diangana, 64) One or two dangerous crosses 6. Okay Yokuslu (for Livermore, 71). Subs not used: Palmer, Townsend, Swift, Phillips.
