Not a bad game at all. Second half much better than the first. Blackburn were certainly undeserving of a 3-0 defeat. If not for Kuszczack it could have been a different story. They must have had five or six shots on target in the 2nd half. Could this be the turning point of the season? Hope so.
Kuszczack 9. Excellent performance. Confident shot stopping, great in the air, and distribution much improved.
Bruno 5. Marmite. Some great flicks and passes, but at other times he's a liability giving the ball away in dangerous positions.
Greer 6. Good enough display, but some poor distribution.
Upson 7. Solid.
Ward 7. Didn't see enough of the ball in the 1st half. Often unmarked in good positions but the CBs kept using Bruno. Played well.
Ince 8. Very good game. Bags of maturity for a youngster. Great with his head and feet. Some very good passes.
Crofts 7. Didn't notice him too much, but I guess he was getting on with his job. Great shot that lead to 3rd goal.
JFC 7. Nicely taken goal. Overall good performance.
Spanish Dave 6. Didn't appear to contribute an awful lot. One great free kick.
Conway 7. Good game. I like this guy. Unlucky not to score in the 1st half with a great shot. Brought down for the penalty. Crossed for JFC to score.
Barnes 8. Much better performance from him. Held the ball up very well. Well taken penalty (surprised he was allowed to take it), and in the right place to score the 2nd. Missed an easy opportunity in the first half when he miscontrolled the ball in an excellent position.
Subs:
Bridcutt 7. Great to see him back. Played some nice balls.
Lita 5. Didn't have much chance to show his stuff.
El Abd. Not on long enough.
