Didn't Kaz set up the equaliser ?

You astound me. When did he nod off. He made one mistake the whole game and then corrected it with a tackle. That was a near a perfect display by a centre half as I have seen. Players make mistakes at any level if they didn't they are more likely to be playing at the highest level.
The only nodding he done was as the ball hit their net, twice. 10 out of 10 for the lad

With that comment, I think we've established exactly what you are!

I agree, with the exception of Colunga, Tex and perhaps Bruno in the first half, there wasn't an awful lot in the way of clear cut chances, in the second as I have highlighted elsewhere felt worse to me, the Tex opportunity when he tried to 'square it' to Colunga.
What even the lualua quote? He delivered the cross for the equaliser

When playing in his only position, left wing. He only offers a smashed cross into the box after running past someone, or cutting inside to shoot. He's not a good enough fotballer to get involved in central positions. These current tactics don't suit him, he might fancy doing something a bit different (maybe he's also bored of seeing him come on after an hour, stand on the left wing waiting for the covering defender to come over to double up on him and then have Kaz try and run around them both before smashing it into the middle) - but he's got a lot of work to do to be good enough to offer something in that position.
I was in a bad mood when I wrote my player ratings, so maybe I was a bit harsh but I don't take back or change anything I wrote. Every squad needs someone like LuaLua who can come on and give the team a different dimension, but inevitably over the 4/5 years he's been here it's become a bit stale seeing him do the same thing all the time and I'd like to see a more technical winger come in with the ability to offer more to the team than the chaos Kaz brings - but I've got nothing against him and he did indeed put in the cross for Dunk's second, as well as playing the through ball for CMS' goal against Cheltenham.

I cannot get his LuaLua quote whatsoever! Is constantly delivering - yesterday / Leeds / Cheltenham to name but 50% of our games this season hes assisted or scored in. sorry [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] but completely disagree!

I'm just a bit bored of him now, it's the same thing all of the time - predictable and frustrating. I'm happy to be in the minority who feels that way though, the people around me continue to be really excited when he comes on and he has contributed a fair amount already.
In other news, does anyone agree that Forster-Caskey wouldn't be in the team if he wasn't left footed? I don't dislike him at all, I think he's neat and tidy and passes the ball well without ever really changing games in our favour and he's improving all the time - but if he was right footed I doubt he'd play such a prominent role in the team. [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] said that Crofts played better than JFC, assuming Crofts didn't have a knock, I would suggest the only reason Crofts came off instead of JFC was because he's right footed and JFC adds more natural balance.

It's ok I'm in the minority who thought Crofts was ok! I agree Lua Lua better out wide tho - maybe that should be a plan B - bring KLL on & play him as a winger!

I was going to say exactly the same re JFC and Holla's scores, in fact I agree with everything you've written
Wanna give him a mark?

Stockdale 5 -- should have done better with the first goal; he spends a lot of time out of his area
Bruno 6
Greer 7 -- he's having a good season
Dunk 9 -- he's quality; courtesy of him, we scored a goal from a corner
; will be surprised if he's playing for us next season
Bennett 6 -- very promising, and clearly a quality player, but didn't help us out for the second goal
Holla 7 -- he's also quality, but I'd like to see Toko play in his position, with him slightly more advanced
Crofts 5.5 -- good effort and pressing, but his touch might not be good enough for Hyypia
JFC 5 -- Hyypia likes him; I think we've got several better midfielders than him (Ince, Toko, Stephens, March, probably Gardener, Crofts)
Colunga 6 -- he's a livewire and I think we've done well to pick him up
Teixiera 8 (9 for first half; 7 for second, when he seemed to fade a bit and gave the ball away too much) -- a delight to watch
CMS 6 -- good effort
Subs:
Gardener 5.5 -- not quite sure what to make of him on that
LuaLua 7 -- intelligent cross
Baldock n/a

Yep. JFC had a passing accuracy of 90% and 6/7 accurate long balls (but no accurate corners from three).
Stockdale who also seems to be getting criticism for his distribution has 100% passing accuracy and 5/5 for long ball accuracy.

JFC was excellent, performing the role he is asked to do.
Get on the ball and give it to the likes of Tex, Colunga etc
People who have a pop at him are not recognising in my opinion what he is being asked to do.

Stockdale 3 - 2 touches. both picking ball from net
Bruno 6 - Slowed down 2nd half and hence everything had to go down other side or through middle
Greer 7 - SOLID
Dunk 9 - SOLID and 2 goals
Bennett 7 - Very impressed. Would have been an 8 is his final ball was better
Holla 7 - He is a wall
Crofts 6 - Didn't see much of ball
JFC 5 - Not his best game. Should have subbed earlier
Teixeira 8 - 1st half 9, 2nd half tired and 7
Corlunga 6 - Not much on show but when on same wavelength as Tex expect great things
CMS 6 - Barbara ran around a lot but only that sharp turn to get me excited
Subs
Gardner 6 - hardly noticed him
Lua Lua 7 - scared them, apart from comedy shot for throw in
Baldock 6 - Not sure he touched it
