Kusczak - 6 - Great save in the second half when they were through 1 on 1, but kicking was atrocious and he had little else to do.
Bruno - 5 - Trying to beat his man on countless occasions, failing numerous times, stupid flick to put them through for the goal.
Greer - 6 - Solid enough bar the goal.
Upson - 6 - As above really.
Ward - 6 - Solid.
JFC - 5 - Too easily bullied out of games when playing as a central midfielder, a few nice touches, but ineffective generally in the 90 minutes.
Andrews - 4 - He didn't seem to do anything, was playing more advanced than Ince but offered nothing going forward at all.
Ince - 6 - pretty average, a few good break-up's but gave the ball away a few times.
Rodriguez - 4 - sorry, but the guy offers nothing. He was outpaced by their full back throughout, and has nothing physically.
Buckley - 5.5 - could easily have been an 8, had 2 great chances when through one on one and did nothing with either, but got to give him credit for getting in the positions to score with such poor support from the middle 3 I guess.
Lingaard - 5.5 - Playing through the middle on his own against Onyewu and Loovens (6'3 at least the pair), some nice touches given the service he was given, but never going to do anything effective given the set up tonight.
Subs: both 5, didn't change much, either of them should have come on earlier for Rodriguez, rather than for 10 minutes.
Overall, we could easily have left with all 3 points if Buckley had taken one of his two great chances. We aren't clinical enough, and the 3 mates I went with all agreed that we play great football until the final third, where we were just completely out-muscled.
The dependency we have on Ulloa is quite frightening, the entire set up was completely off tonight with his injury, and we simply do not have a replacement forward to play a 4-3-3 (even when Hoskins is fit). Oh well, I remember heading back from Barnsley away this time last year feeling exactly the same, and look what happened then! Onwards an upwards, at least other results were kind!
Oh, and safe trip back to all other Albion fans, 'ell of a long way!
