Kuszczak - 9 - Another excellent game and some quality saves;
Bruno - 5 - Ok going forward but to frustratingly lax in possession. Gives the ball away far too much
Upson - 8 - Very solid indeed
El-Abd - 9 - Excellent
Bridge - 9 - Again, excellent and sadly highlight how poor Bruno looks at the moment in comparison
Hammond - 7 - Solid performance. Will probably not be marked too highly by many because we're used to Bridcutt who is simply a better player in that role.
Dicker - 6.5 - Kept things ticking over but slowed down play today occasionally
Orlandi - 7.5 - Lovely flick for the goal and good link up with Vicente, tired though in the 2nd hald
Spanish Dave - 7.5 - Good performance and beautifully taken goal
Vicente - 8.5 - Pulled the strings in the first half and looked a little frustrated at times that his teammates were seemingly on a different wavelength
Ulloa - 6 - Hold up play was ok but wasn't at the races for me today. His control was poor and he was play acting a bit plus not scoring from 3cms out is a sin CMS or Barnes would have been shot for. That said, it's only one game and he's played more for us that he has the rest of the season. He looked tired
Subs:
Barnes - 6 - Didn't get into the game much out wide left
CMS - 6.5 - Usual running and some great play by the corner to kill time at the end
Greer - 6.5 - Good clearing header and added more protection but not on for long
Over all, not the best game or performance from an attacking sense but another steely and resolute defensive display. Starting to look like a good unit at the back although I'd still prefer calderon to Bruno.
