Ikeme - 6.5 didn't do anything wrong, couldn't fault him with any of goals, and was prepared to shout at defence
Omozusi -5.5 looked ok until howler that led to their second
Sodje - 5.5 should have closed down Kavanagh for third
Dailly - 6 fairly lucky not to go off
Youga - 7 worked hard all game
Sam - 6 got a few good balls into box, but no-one there
Racon - 5.5 not imposing enough
Semedo - 5.5 not his usual self -passes going astray a lot
Bailey - 5.5 ineffective and put more energy into aggro than trying to create anything
Mcleod - 4 sorry, would love him to come good, but he's just not got it - no positional sense whatsoever
Burton - 5.5 tried hard, but ineffective
Ikeme -6 goals not his fault, Omozusi - 5, didn't work well with Sam, to be expected Sodje - 5 good headers, could have done more to avert goals Dailly - 5 should have been sent off for needless poor tackle Youga - 5 poor in attack Sam - 5 has forgotten how to go down the line Racon - 5 didn't run the midfield as he should Semedo - 5 poor passing Bailey - 4.5 some poor passes and didn't impose himself on the game as he should Mcleod - 3 poorly supported but just not good enough Burton - 5.5 again poorly supported but did score the penalty - let him have is op.

Omozusi - 5.5

Dailly - 6
Youga - 7
Sam - 4
Racon - 7
Semedo - 6
Bailey - 5.5
Mcleod - 3 would be 4 for his actual performance, but marked down a point for his sulky walk off the pitch wasting our own time to find a potential equaliser.
Burton - 5
i find it quite hard to do ratings because i always seem to judge players on their previous performances against this one. So while sam probably wasn't our worst player, at times this season he's completely torn apart defences and he didn't do that at all on saturday.
Thought mcleod was alright, obviously gutted to be taken off, didn't have any clear chances but held the ball well when he had it and wanted to run with it. the boy'll come good. not 1 million pound good, but good enough.
I felt there was a general lack of commitment throughout the team. Carlisle looked like the team who wanted to win it the most. There was about 20 mins in the 2nd half when we totally went missing, a worrying throw back from last season.
Ikeme 8 - Looked very solid, commanded his box well, couple of strong audible calls, great save for the penalty - though thought he could have saved the third.
Omozusi 7 - Looked a solid full back. Linked up well with other players, though made an awful mistake in his clearance for the 3rd goal
Sodje 7 - Solid game again, though he obviously had taken a knock as had to go off for treatment twice. Despite them having Pericard, most of their through balls were on the deck where same isn't normally at his best. The man must have incredible neck muscles, as the few clearing headers he did got height and distance, with one of them having snow on the ball when it came back down.
Dailly 5 - Worst game for us so far. Was lucky to stay on the pitch. Twice.
Youga 6 - Looked good in the first half, but like most of the team was fairly anonymous in the second half.
Sam 6 - See Youga.
Racon 8 - Seemed to be everywhere, though for the 2nd half, about half a second late. Worked his socks off and probably my MoM.
Semedo 6 - Very quiet game for him. Again, looked like he was struggling for fitness.
Bailey 7 - Booed from the start and looked like it was getting to him. He wanted to win everything and prove a point to the Carlisle fans. Took a couple of hard tackles well, but spent too much time covering the roving full backs.
Mcleod 4 - Poor, poor, poor. didn't look interested, didn't work hard enough, didn't do anything constructive and strolled off when substituted when he should have let Mooney on as quick as possible.
Burton 6 - Worked hard again, held up the ball well but when playing 4-4-2 should expect some support from his fellow forward which he didn't get until Mooney came on. Took the penalty well.
Subs.
Mooney 7 - if we're playing 4-4-2 then pick him NOT McLoed. Did more in his twenty minutes than McLoeds done in the past 3 games. Worked hard, ran into spaces, made the back four work and looks like he could link up well with Burton. We desperately need a 'partnership' up front.
Basey - 7 Came in on the left with Youga moving to the right. I like Basey. I think he's a decent left back with a sweet left foot - he's just been unlucky with Youga playing so well. Be interesting if we could play them both on the left Basey at FB with Youga LW. It would also free up Bailey to play a more central role.
Shelvey - 7 Clearly we've missed his all action style, and although he didn't get too involved on Saturday, he's a must start for the next game or two.
Sunshine - Bloody awful in the first half. The Lino on our side couldn't have seen anything.
Journey - Awful both ways. So glad I didn't go up and back in a day like last time - feel sorry for those who did, as I suspect a few missed the game.
Ikeme - 7 a fair debut - no chance with the 2 rockets. Omozusi - 7 loooked ok for a guy that has not had much recent football Sodje - 9 excellent, a real committed team player Dailly - 5 for the first time this season he looked 35. Youga - 7 one of his better games, worked hard to get forward Sam - 5 very little contribution till late in 2nd half. Racon - 7 good game, should aim better and shoot more Semedo - 6 busy game, but not enough quality passes, good tackling though. Bailey - 6 odd game for him, moved around a lot, needs to shoot first time when the chance comes. Mcleod - 4 dreadful, im not a fan - but he is not much of a threat. Burton - 7 kept going, wins lots of headers, good hold-up play, needs Kevin Phillips alongside him.
