Kuszczak apologist.

Haha that thread is going to haunt you forever!

 

[El Turi]

Just seen the goal on Sky, oh dear Kuszczak, thats another one down to you i'm afraid, poor, poor goal to concede!

Another one? I can only think of one other goal all season that was down to a Kuszczak mistake.

Seriously, shut up.

A good thing to come out of yesterday is that Bridcutt is back to his best.

Rightly so!

Which one are you thinking of? I can't narrow it down to just one.

Bruno - 7 purely on the second half, he showed passion and loved him getting Barnes off so we could try to get on with the game but he should have closed down Alonso for the goal

Bruno - 7/8 - getting forward at will, linked up well with Spanish Dave and Buckers, arguably our best player

--------

first things first, Im not a big Bruno fan, but I just can't see how anyone can score Bruno more than 5 for his performance yesterday. His defending is dreadful. Nearly every goal we concede comes from his side - either a cross or a shot. Teams target him. He's so frightened of the wide player going past him he stands 10 yards off and lets them cross or shoot. Time to play Calderon.

Kuszczak - 6

Bruno - 5
Upson - 6
El-Abd - 6
Bridge - 6

Bridcutt - 7
Lopez - 5
Crofts - 5
Vicente - 5

Barnes - 1 (Missed two great chances and is a childish prick, release him)
Ulloa - 6


Buckley 4
Orlandi 5

Buckley 4? he sounded immense on the sussex county radio commentary

 

[El Presidente]

Have you seen the video? How would you like me to record it in my charts?

3 please!

Really? I thought Bruno was almost back to his best yesterday - in defence and attack. It was certainly the best I've seen of him since the autumn.

I'm probably being a bit harsh on him for y'days performance through disappointment, however it's been noticeable for quite a few weeks now how many goals/chances are created by teams down our RHS. Bruno lacks discipline, is often found in no man's land and shows little effort in chasing back.

I went yesterday and its the first time I've seen you live this season. I'm not for one minute suggesting that one game is indicative of a seasons worth of what you guys have seen but heres how I'd rate what I saw.

Kucschak - good goalie, maybe could have done better yesterday for the goal but hes a good goalie and worthy of a place in a side challenging for promotion

Bruno - I thought he was ok tbh
Upson and El Abd - solid centre half partnership
Bridge - decent player, was average yesterday imo

Bridcutt - I think you overrate him you know based on yesterday. Breaks up play well, but limited going forward, and while I acknowledge that hes a defensive mid and his main job is to tackle and press, which he does well, I feel in the Premier League he'd get found out. People giving him MOM yesterday, I wonde at what point youd ask for a little bit more from him rather than praising a performance I felt was very limited

Lopez - good player
Crofts - non existant yesterday - I dont know what hes like week in week out
Vicente - classy but relied upon a bit too much maybe

Ulloa - lack of movement yesterday,bit unit though who looks like he could be a handful in the right games plaed to his strengths
Barnes - poor yesterday, got frustrated as well, maybe understandably

Orlandi - I like him, should have started for me
Buckley - same as Orlandi, should have started imo, looked dangerous

Overall - a good team with maybe a slight lack of creativity at times. Overreliant on Vicente in that department maybe?

Deserved at least a point yesterday
