Not quite as ranty as the last two. More 'resigned' than ranty. Resigned to League 1, after registering just 3 shots on target against the worst defence in football, with less than 40% possession and just abysmal quality on the ball. We didn't concede a goal though. Yay. I genuinely can't see which team we are good enough to beat. Collins - 6: didn't concede a goal, didn't make any daft mistakes Williams - 5: part of a defensive clean sheet, but offering very little going forward Mads - 7: strong effort, hope he starts to get the best out of Helik Helik - 6: improvement on recent performances. hoping having mads back will bring his best Kitching - 6: still not quite sure if he was playing as a full back or centre half Styles - 4: just not sure what his role is anymore. not sure he is either, and I think he's suffering because of that Lord Lucan - 0: would be in the 23s for me, until he can prove he's worthy of a shirt at this level. if he starts against Huddersfield, I'll be starting to seriously question Poya's decision making already Gomes - 3: another lacklustre effort, however I do feel for anyone being asked to play in a midfield alongside Josh Benson. it's hard enough as it is, without having to do two players' work all game Morris - 6: getting sharper by the game, still a long way to go. $hit myself when he went down clutching his knee. Woodrow - 4: contributed to our shots on target, but little else. have to assume it's written in contract that he plays every minute of every game. Cole - 7: again, our strongest striker, again, inexplicably subbed. have to assume he has a reverse contract to cauley, which says he isn't allowed to play 90 minutes Palmer - 5: did ok for 20 minutes, but it's physically impossible to do worse than Josh Benson Adeboyejo - 6: puts himself about as usual, but totally baffling for Cole to be subbed Hondermarck - 8: I'm giving him 8 to highlight again, just how absolutely $hite josh benson is right now. Did more in 5 minutes as a sub, than Josh Benson has done in 3 months. Absolutely HAS to start ahead of benson against huddersfield. If he doesn't, I'm already starting to seriously question Poya's judgement Floodlights - 9: MOTM
Agree 100% on Benson. Absolutely anonymous once again. Looks a terrible waste of money. Can we ask Oxford to swap him over for Kane in January. They seem good at rehabilitating our midfielders.
Not a lot to disagree with...but we did recently beat Derby and I suspect Cole still isn't fit enough to do 90.
Not too sure how to react to the clean sheet. I reckon we could have stayed in the changing room when the lights came back on and we’d still have kept a clean sheet.
I’d say Gomes was a bit higher than that. I thought he broke up play well. However, after the floodlight failure, he didn’t come back well. Not sure Devante was a 7 either. He squandered some god crossing opportunities and his first touch was poor on occasion. He does offer us pace though, which we do seem to lack.
Benson - not so much Lord Lucan, more like Lord Peter Wimsey if he carries on with this foppish behaviour on the pitch.
He was still the most active player on the pitch when he was taken off Looked fit enough to carry on to me
