Stockdale 6. Great shot stopping to keep us in the match at 2-1 down. Utterly disastrous distribution, worse than Koosh at his worst, playing a part in their first goal. Shot stopping not at fault for any of their goals.
Bruno 7. Well taken goal. Pushed forward a lot. Hope his injury doesn't keep him out.
Greer 6. Three very good interceptions/clearances in first half. Some poor distribution.
Hughes 5. Did nothing wrong. Decent enough replacement for Dunk, but won't keep his spot.
Bennett 6. Tried hard enough, but no real penetration. Got skinned a couple of times by Redmond, but many would have been.
Gardner 4. The only time I saw him touch the ball were his comedy efforts on goal.
Ince 6. Good to see him back. Still Bambi-esque and his legs didn't get him out of trouble as often as when he was playing regularly. Better heading.
JFC 6. Decent enough game; threaded some nice through balls.
Colunga 8. His best game for us by far. Always threatening, lovely cross for Bruno's goal, confident pen. Was it a pen? Need to see it again. Candidate for MoM.
Baldock 5. Hmmm. One nice flicked header from another Colunga cross. Umm, that's about it.
Kaz 8 MoM. Dangerous, was fouled countless times. Jumped straight up every time - hooray. Nice goal.
Calde 6.
Halford N/A. Bit of a harsh yellow. Play our tallest player out on the right? Ummm, ok.
It was a object lesson in poor defending from both sides. I hope it isn't billed as a 6-goal thriller because it really wasn't. We did much better than I expected us to do, scoring 3 (and away to boot); but conceding 3 is very much a worry. If we were winning at home, then I'd be feeling much better about our position than I do.
Seems like Sami has changed tactics at last - that's 3 games on the bounce that our full backs mostly played like full backs (Bruno's goal notwithstanding).
