Really good performance today, comfortably the better side for large portions of the game, particularly during the game. And still lost. We lose every week even when we play our best football. Going down. 1)We're ludicrously naive and we are desperately crying out for some players who know how to manage a game. After 80 minutes at 2-2 you've got Jacob Brown sprinting off at top speed after getting substituted - what on earth is that about? They've managed to get must be close on 20 free kicks and 5 of our players booked in a game where we haven't committed a foul of any serious note. We've been given nothing like normal. 2) We wasted so many good opportunities on the break at 2-1 up. That's where we had to kill them off and we didn't do it. We just have to be more ruthless. 3) Look how we've left ourselves in the fullback positions. Two kids who aren't ready are our first choices. Absolutely heinous performance in the transfer market this summer and it exposes us time after time after time, My ratings: Radlinger 3. He doesn't save anything, and at 6ft 5 plays about 4 foot 2 when a cross comes in. J Williams 6. Really struggled at first against Hoillett in the first half but to be fair made some good interceptions and improved to the extent they substituted Hoilett mid second half. Anderson 6. Steady away no obvious errors. Diary 8. Best game I've seen him have except maybe Fulham. Dominant against Madine who was subbed. Ben Williams 4. Just not ready at this level and massively exposed. Regularly gives away possession in dangerous areas, and one of these led directly to their goal. Halme 8. My man of the match, regularly breaking up play and keeping possession. Exactly what's needed in that position for an away game. Mowatt 7. Standard good performance. Woodrow 6. Not at his best today Cauley, and a couple of really poor shots when in good advanced positions. Brown 7. Full of running and created problems for their defence. One of his better games of late. Bahre 6. Usual enigmatic performance, some lovely touches and opportunities created mixed in with the standard frustrations and conceding of possession. He's a 6 because he's half 9 and half 3. Chaplin 8. Just edged out for man of the match. Nicely taken goal.
Bahre is a 6 because he's half 9 and half 3. That's got to be my favourite player assessment of all time.
Think If you watch the game back mate you’ll see Diaby as a different rating. I thought he had a shocker.
