Another game of two halves. First half we were brilliant and should have scored two or three. Second half we were poor for a long period but improved in the last 15 minutes. We looked like we cared today and played with enthusiasm, unlike the Watford debacle. An enjoyable game to watch for 70 of the 90.
Kuszczack 6. Distribution poor. Too much booting aimlessly upfield. Worrying.
Bruno 6. Some moments of brilliance mixed in with some sloppy defending. Doesn't matter how good he is going forward, he's a DEFENDER and he needs to be a lot better at that side of his game.
Greer 4. Slight improvement over the Watford game, but far too many misplaced passes and generally sloppy play.
Upson 7. Good game against a poor Donny attack.
Ward 8. Defended well and great cross for the goal plus a couple of other excellent crosses.
Ince 7. Not one of his best games, but strong on the ball and, with a couple of exceptions, some useful distribution.
Stephens 5. OK game. He obviously needs more time to work with the squad. Jury's out for the moment.
Orlandi 6. Decent enough game, but not yet back to his best. Would have liked him to have more of the ball.
Rodrigues 7. Looked to be a decent player. Reaction a bit slow once or twice in the first half.
March 8. Excellent game, particularly in the first half. Strong on the ball and some great ball control. Would have liked him to shoot on a couple of occasions rather than pass.
Ulloa 6. Getting better. Well taken goal. Better at holding the ball up than last week.
Subs:
Lua Lua 6. Would have liked him to have had more of the ball.
David 5. OK
Obika. Not on long enough.
Manager 8 ... for starting with such an attacking line-up, for starting with March, and for dropping Lopez.
