Player ratings vs Birmingham (h)

[sussex_guy2k2]

Stockdale 7 - claimed a few crosses, unlucky with goal. Decent distribution.
Bruno 7 - wasted possession a few too many times, but generally effective going both ways.
Uwe 7 - a poor first half countered by an excellent second and a goal.
Dunk 7 - not on for that long, but kept us together initially
Bong 8 - thought he was the pick of the starting defenders
Knocky 7 - not his most effective game but still some game changing moments and worked hard defensively as always
March 7.5 - showed his footballing brain in defensive situations on numerous occasions. Created chances too. A good performance and shows why he should be starting.
Stephens 7 - recycled the ball well without dominating
Kayal 7.5 - showed signs that he's returning to his best
Hemed 6 - a poor performance lifted by a goal
Murray 7.5 - started the ball rolling and generally selfless throughout with his movement and passing.

Norwood 1 - no excuse for that barnet
Murphy 6 - nearly forgot he'd come on
Timori 7.5 - very good when he came on, error for the goal aside.

Is he HB&B's exotic cousin?

Is he HB&B's exotic cousin?

Unfortunately for him, he's merely a rushed lunch time typo.

Bruno 10 for me. I cannot think we can expect any better from a right back.

Watching a different game to me....

March was much better than Knockaert
And Kayal much less sloppy than Stephens and his pass for the opening goal exceptional.
Hemed was working his socks off in there also, plus topped it off with a goal.
Even Bong who i always worry about after lay offs was very good in my opinion, up to speed very well

Not just me. Have a look through all the scores. Many giving Stephens better ratings than Kayal, and Hemed modest scores but commending him for his vital goal.

All about opinions from us laymen.

Stockdale 7
Bruno 8
Hunemeier 9 MOTM
Dunk 7.5
Bong 8
Knockaert 9 worked his socks off defensively
Stephens 7
Kayal 7.5
March 6 Gave the ball away or lost possession too much.
Hemed 6 Seemed to be unsure of where to be.
Murray 9 really put in a shift especially when they had the ball.

Tomori 8 Looks a great prospect and hope we can sign him in the summer
Murphy 6 Didn't seem to settle into his position
Norwood 6 Some great forward passes but some poor sideways ones and some awful tackles.

Too many misplaced passes early on for a perfect 10, but there several fantastic moments from him.
