Richards couldn't get as far forward in the second half, as he did last match, because they pushed up and kept us far more boxed in than the first half, 6.5 is about right.
Elphick and El-Abd, totally agree. Midfield was weak, but 4 rather than 3 might be a better mark. Bowditch could have been the hero today, had two chances that should have seen him on the score-sheet, but it was two chances he was there for that Cox could have played another 90 minutes and not seen. In fact, if Lil' Coach played like Cox, I'd have been asking Mr Coach to take him off the pitch and sub'd much quicker! Tom Frazer didn't put in the performance I know he's capable of, but tried hard at times. Thompson seemed to be caught in possesion a lot today.... um maybe 3 is a fair mark after all!
There were a few too many incidences where the ball was played to an invisible player - the intended recipient was heading off in the opposite direction! Playing the ball behind players slowed the attack down as well. But a point when my heart had started to sink brought my spirits back up again.
And talking of spirits, I'm off to slurp some SoCo down the pub and listen to my friend play in The Brass Monkeys band.
Make sure you take your mother her card tomorrow and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Mrs C. xx

Kuipers - 7 - didn't put a foot wrong really
Whing - 6 - the usual solid performance, but went missing for the goal
El-abd - 8 - very impressive
Elphick - 6 - not at his best
Richards - 5 - quiet
Cox - 6 - spectacularly erratic crossing
Thomson - 6 - got stuck in
Fraser - 3 - a joke, didn't get involved at all
Bowditch - 4 - involved a lot, but largely gave away posession.
Forster - 7 - the usual performance
Murray - 6 - good game apart from the misses. On another day, probably could have had a hat-trick
Robinson - 6 - did ok in the small time he was on
Martot - 5 - did nothing as per usual, but i'll give him a 5 in view of the fact that he only had half an hour

Kuipers - 6 - Solid, not much he could have done about the goal
Whing - 6 - Solid as usual
El-abd - 7 - Coped well with having to mark a big powerhouse of a player for the entire game
Elphick - 7 - Not as dominant as usual, but still played well
Richards - 6 - Solid but quiet today
Cox - 6 - Looked a bit more dangerous on the ball today, but set-piece play is lacking something
Thomson - 5 - Poor for such a talented player
Fraser - 6 - The better of our middle of the park players, but he didn't get involved enough for me
Bowditch - 4 - Not good, sad to say it's been that way since he returned
Forster - 7 - Ball control was lacking today, but he was our 90 minute hero!
Murray - 6 - Got into great positions, but he seems reluctant to have a dig without beating the goalkeeper!
Robinson - 6 - Looked good when he came on, more involved than usual. I prefer him to Bowditch tbh, and he should be starting!!
Martot - 5 - He was good last week, but he didn't get into the game today
Whing - 6 - Solid as usual
El-abd - 7 - Coped well with having to mark a big powerhouse of a player for the entire game

Quite how you can give Bowditch a better rating than Cox and Fraser, has left be baffled!
You are virtually saying the he was worth TWO of our midfield players!
I'm sorry I don't see that myself

all very clever to come on here and slag players off, but surely you're on a wind-up...?
the team as a whole played well today and could easily have scored 3 or 4 goals against reasonable opposition - by all means be frustrated by the poor finishing (and question Murray's obsession with rounding keepers) but the negative stuff is complete bollocks

Bowditch 3 was he playing? missed sitter
Fraser 6 good
Thomson 3 o my, he was so so slow
Cox 3 shite - needs to be dropped
Forster 6 good link up, well taken pen
Murray 3 - you are paid to score and missing two one on ones is not good enough

Im not sure it is, all the chances game from Orients mistakes - how many chances did Brighton create?
The midfield may aswell not have been there - just hoofed over them everytime - not that I blame the defence as when ever any of them got the ball they lost it.

Why is everyone being so harsh on Fraser?
I thought he was our best midfield player until Robinson came on, even if that isn't saying much considering the midfield as a whole let us down today.
I'd say he was worth a 6 whilst the rest of the midfielders were 4's and 5's.
