The End of Season progress report.

Guy Fawkes said:

Its a difficult season to judge how we have done because we have been missing several key figures for sustained periods

Can someone post appearance stats for CMS, Orlandi, Buckley, Lua Lua (Lua Lua not fully fit most of this season??) and others who we relied upon last season to be the creatve spark in the side and make the difference between entertainment and dull

And for those with short memories, how many games we drew last season.


For us to miss those players and still be in with a good shout of reaching the play-offs has shown what a good job Garcia has done with such a handicap. Hopefully next season they will be back and fit for most if not all of the season and could mean we are more effective and more entertaining

Positives:

Crofts - looks the player he was in his first stint here, season harshly ended by injury
Mackail-Smith - back to fitness and eager to impress
Calderon - one of our only players who looks committed, seems to have a positive influence on those around him
Ward - doubts about him pre-season but seems to have proved everybody wrong, hope he signs a permanent deal in the summer
Forster-Caskey - developing this season, not hit the heights as expected being touted as England U21 material but still much more to come
Ulloa - one of our consistent performers, although did have a mid-season strop
Upson - defence looks so much better when he plays, hope he signs a new deal in the summer
March - really come on this season, looks like a star for the future. Needs to work on his vision whilst in play
Ince - started the season as Bridcutt's replacement, recently not looked so good but lots more to come from Rohan

Indifferent
Bruno - one week he looks brilliant, the next he's pony
Dunk - not made to many appearances, but in the game time he has featured he hasn't set the world alight apart from the odd game
Stephens - only seen him have one outstanding performance, seems to go missing alot
LuaLua - one week brilliant, next week disinterested
Kuszczak - pulls off the occasional brilliant save but his recent reactions have marked him down

Disapointing

Greer - slowly seems to be getting worse, maybe time for a new centre-back next season
Andrews - for a ex-Premier League box-to-box midfielder, he gives the ball away far too much
Rodriguez - obviously not worked out as hoped
Agustien - what a waste, off in the summer
Orlandi - may seem harsh but has spent 95% of his time injured this season, can't see him getting a new deal
Lopez - looks a shadow of the player he was last season, can't see him staying beyond June
Lingard - for a Man United youngster, very disappointing
Buckley - yet again may seem harsh given he has been injured a lot but Will looks a beaten man now and seems to have lost his pace. Many were happy to see him leave in January in a move which didn't materialise

No reports

Brezovan, Hoskins, Chicksen and Ankergren don't get a rating as haven't featured enough
