*** PLAYER RATINGS vs WOLVES ***

[aolstudios]

Stockdale - 7 - would've been a 9.5 if not for the goal
Bruno - 8 - MOM
Greer - 7
Dunk - 5
Bennett - 6
Holla - 6.5 - tidy
Stephens - 6 - started badly, doesn't look match fit but he's going to be crucial
Kayal - 7.5 - excellent, again
Calde - 5.5 - deserves a rest
Texeira - 6 - frustrating, nowhere near MoM. Getting stronger though
CMS - 5.5 - his running creates space but his confidence in front of goal is shot

O'Grady - 6 - decent
Lua Lua - 5.5
Ledesma - should be a N/a but didn't inspire

Teixeira had a lot of the ball against Wolves. He did not look a sharp as recently. On the way of becoming irreplaceable and we might very well have to replace him.

Hughton said: "We had to defend well but we also had chances ourselves and opportunities where we broke really well. If Joao's final ball had been just that little bit better on two, three or four occasions then possibly the end result would have been different.

Stockdale - 6 - Played really well bar the obvious. Unfortunately mistakes when you are a keeper are expensive
Bruno - 8 - Mostly good, but defensively he worries me.
Bennett - 6 - Just don't get it with him. OK going forward but defensively his positioning is awful. I would not be making an effort to sign him personally.
Dunk - 6 - lucky to stay on, improved after that and 2nd half was much improved but too many mistakes lately.
Greer - 6 - Comes for balls he cannot win more and more. I think he has lost half a yard and will need replacing in the summer.
Holla - 6 - Glimpses of a good player but his lack of mobility is going to be a problem in this country.
Kayal - 8 - Best player we have. Will go to the PL with or without us.
Stephens - 7- Starting to get up to match fitness.
Texeirra - 6.5 - Flashes of his best and worst. Faded after a bright start and denied us a goal with a poor decision 2nd half.
Calderon - 6 - Effort as usual but not one of his best.
CMS - 4 - The main problem. Worked his socks off as usual without ever looking like he would score. We have to upgrade in the summer.

KLL - 6 - Didn't get into the game really.
O'Grady - 6 - see KLL
Ledesma - Not shown anything yet from his limited chances

Stockdale - 7 - Potentially cost us two points but earned us one. On balance, he was excellent but gets a point knocked off for the goal
Bruno - 8 - His best game this season
Greer - 6 - Better
Dunk - 5 - Seems to have a catastrophic error in him every game at the moment
Bennett - 6.5 - Good going forward, can't defend
Holla - 5 - Some very wayward passes. Capable of being excellent but looks a shadow of the Holla in his first 6 games
Kayal - 8 - Best player we have by some margin
Stephens - 7 - Looks better but not suited to wide play
Teixeira - 6 - Ok, some great, some poor
Calderon - 6.5 - Decent
CMS - 4 - Ran a lot but if he scores again this season, I'll be shocked. Woefully weak shots and header

Subs:
Lua Lua - 6.5 - Some good stuff, one hideous free kick
O'Gradi - 6 - Didn't really get into it but still needs to start
Ledesma - 6 - Also didn't really get into the game
