Kuszczak-6-Quality save in the first half, could have done better with their second goal
Bruno-7-One of our biggest attacking threats, decent
El-Abd-3-Absolute nightmare, beaten consistently in the air
Greer-5-Not great
Bridge-6.5-Good going forward but Anya caused him a few problems
Bridcutt-8-We desperately need to keep hold of him, or our defence will seriously leak goals
Lopez-7-Put in some decent balls
LuaLua-5.5-Reinforced my opinion he is better of the bench
Crofts-5-Anonymous
Orlandi-6.5-Threatening but didn't seem fully fit
CMS-6-Ok, didn't get much service and showed some good touches

Subs:
Barnes-7-Good link up play
Dobbie-5-Really is a waste of space
Hoskins-6-Better than Dobbie

I only watched on the telebox and know NOTHING about football but I'll go

everyone 4/10

except

Lua Lua 6/10 .... did stuff
Bridcutt, Bruno & Bridge 5/10 .... average

and unfortunately

El-Abd 2/10 .....(Hopefully he's got the worst game of his career out of his system 'cause most of the time he's f***ing mustard and if I had a replica shirt with a name on it, it would be his)

Greer and Particularly El Abd had nightmares. Lua Lua played well until last 20 mins when he ran out of steam. Rest of team can't be bothered to rate. CMS amazing work rate but same old same old. Nobody in midfield seemed to want the ball or take some responsibility.

Were you watching the game? I only agree with you on CMS and Crofts

Bizarre.

Greer, Crofts, CMS and Lopez were awful. No better than El Abd.

CMS was succinctly summed on Sky as a whole lot of endeavour with little end product.

LuaLua, considering he faced 2 tight defenders all game, was a rare shining light.
Orlandi was class, but ran out of gas.

I think LuaLua flattered to deceive quite a lot. To be fair he did have 2/3 men on him but 3 or 4 times in the 2nd half he overran the ball and didn't exactly get many dangerous balls in.

RB Bruno 4 - too careless in position is he turning into Reyes the 2nd?
Lb bridge 6 one of the few players to emerge with a modicum of credit.
Cb el-bd 3 poorest game since west ham away.
Cb Greer 6 decent
Cm bridcutt 8 class
Cm crofts 6 nowhere near as bad as some are making out.
Cm Orlandi 6 looked on song first twenty minutes but faded.
Rm Lopez 5 great pen but disappointing performance after being MOTM against millwall.
Lm lua lua 5 ran down cul de sacs poor decision making. Winning the penalty was his main contribution.
Str CMS 3 dog shit.

Subs
Barnes 6 looked lively
Hoskins 6 needs to start done more in fifteen minutes then CMS in 90
Dobbie 4 needs games he could still be decent but looks a yard of the pace.

Poyet 0 - Slave to a system with the wrong players playing it, who are starting look that they do not believe in it. 3 forwards in centre midfield = genius.

Tomas -7- made a great save just before half time
Bruno -6- not the player he was at beginning of the season
Greer -5- not commanding enough. Need to rethink who captain should be
El Abd -2- at fault for all the goals! Love Adam but is a liability at this level
Bridge -5- first touch was not great today
Bridcutt -9- made some exceptional tackles! Have to keep him
Orlandi -6- Was in good form before injury but had a quiet game today
Crofts - 5- missed an easy chance early on. Would prefer Navarro back
David -6- took penalty well. That was about all he did though
Lua Lua -6- looked like he would make something happen but has more impact as a sub
CMS -3- doesnt bring anything to the team. Cash in now

Barnes -6- made some good passes when came on but strikers were on their toes
Dobbie -5- bit slow. Not match fit
Hoskins -6- took a chance well that came to him. Unlucky not to score

Kuszczak - 7
Bruno - 5 Nowhere near the same player as the beginning of the season, disillusioned with the playing style?
El-Abd - 3 Worst I've seen him
Greer - 6 Can't have been easy defending with El Abd today
Bridge - 7 Always turns up
Bridcutt - 8 MOM
Lopez - 6 Extra point for penalty
LuaLua - 7.5 Gives his all
Crofts - 4 Set up on a plate for you and you can't hit the target?
Orlandi 6 Started well, not match fit, take him off earlier or get him match fit first
CMS - 5 Someone please take him off our hands

Subs:
Barnes - 5
Dobbie - 5
Hoskins - 6

Team didn't look right when it was announced and so it proved.

Yet again, I'm getting bored of saying it, we start slowly and without Buckley, never get out of first gear.

We went 1-1 and I thought, this is the day we come from behind to win to show some character. Sadly the team are lacking in character, team spirit and balls.

Without a dodgy penalty, how many good chances did we create, zero. 6-0 would have been a fair result.

Time for Gus to admit, he's got it wrong.

Kuszczak 6 One great save then abandoned for 90 minutes by a shit defence
Bruno 3 Constantly out of position and made the wrong choice every time
Greer 4 Poor and rarely looks forward
El Abd 4 Caught for pace repeatedly and pretty much out of the game after his booking
Bridge 7 By far our best defender
Bridcutt 8 Superb. We'll miss him
Crofts 3 Who? Did he play?
Lopez 6 Quality pen, poor deliveries though
Orlandi 6 Not sure why he was taken off
Lua Lua 7 Played well but utterly knackered after about 75 mins
CMS 5 Made all the wrong runs but so badly isolated its difficult to be too critical

Subs:
Dobbie 5 Poor
Barnes 6 OK
Hoskins 6 Also OK

Overall, we were good for 20 mins and beyond shoddy for 70.

If Bridcutt and Buckley go, we're f*cked.
