Dull game we were never going to score so they did us a favour by giving us the OG. We only really came alive once we were down to ten men however our midfield shape was appalling.

6 shots all game and two corners at home is piss poor.

Interesting difference of opinion on JFC. I thought he contributed nothing except a clearance in the first half and the through ball for the offside goal. Drenthe left him for dead for the goal. Can't tackle, does nothing with the ball... What happened to the prospect of two seasons ago?

Doesn't lose the ball, is the only one from midfield breaking ahead of Ulloa. Thought he did well. He's not a player who is going to dribble past players or win lots of tackles, but he does make tackles and he's the only one breaking forward from midfield - and he's only 19

PLUS some of the interplay between JFC, Dave, Bruno and Lingard in the first half was impressive IMO

Can't believe the low marks for Ward my MOTM just ahead of Kuszcak. And agree with Stump Tim Forster-Caskey had a very good game. Does a lot of unnoticed work and takes up intelligent positions both in attack and defence.

I like Ward, but I do think he looks very average when he's up against a pacy, tricky winger. So many of their dangerous moves (and the goal) came down that side but his cover was JFC who simply can't tackle. I can't believe Adkins took Drenthe off.

I like Ward as well but today was the worst I've seen him. Absolutely skinned time after time in the second half.

It makes me think back to the Wolves fans comments when he came, that he was a committed player but not a left back. I think you see it when he's up against the like of Drenthe or Elmohamedy

I felt Greer was very unluckiy. Upson dived in completely unnecessarily in the first half and Greer subsequently had to take one for the team. The second yellow looked very harsh

Kooshak 8. Great saves, poor kicking
Bruno. 5. From first minute to last looked a liability but also showed flashes of genius
Ward. 7. Wasn't sure about at start of season , now he looks decent
Upson. 6. Think it was him who stood off for the goal
Greer. 5. Shocking pass that led to his first yellow
Andrews. 6. Decent enough today
Jfc. 5. Hate to say it , but I'm not sure jfc has it to succeed at this level
Ince. 6. Not his best game but this lad will play in the premier league
Ulloa. 7. Clearly they were out to get him. Battled hard
David. 5. Enough has been said about him - shadow of last seasons player
Jesse 6. Tidy . Should have been passed to more


Dunk. 7
March. 7
Buckley. 7. Lively but should have scored

Kooshack 8

Spanish Dave 4
Andrews 4

Everyone else 6

Not a good display

Again, Dave is not good enough, bottles tackles and has no pace whatsoever. When he plays, The team is lopsided with pace on one side and the game slowed down on the other.
