Hammer----6 Wilson----7 Morrison---7 Dervite---6 Fox----7--------------did very well for first game, hope he gets a run now. Reza-----6 ----at least he tries to shoot and i thought he looked like he is learning to stay on his feet. Poyet-----8 -----to good for us. Cousins----5--- tried but just not his day nothing worked. Jackson---6 AA----6 ---no idea why he was taken off was involved and didnt look knackered. Church----6 --- defo pen---and run his socks off.
Hamer 6.5 - Some good distribution Wilson 7 - Defended well and got forward well, but crossing still a problem Morrison 6.5 - Looked good and solid Dervite 6.5 - Did well Fox 6.5 - Assured; will get better with 1st team experience Reza 5 - Involved but little end product Poyet 7.5 - Classy once more Cousins 4.5 - Poor game, nothing went right for him but never hid Jackson 6 - Tried and tried, but tired near end Ajdarevic 6.5 - Good first half but never quite got that clear shooting opportunity Church 5 - Ran lots as usual; missed good opportunity to head home, and I thought he just stumbled for the pen appeal
Hamer 7 Wilson 6 (I must be watching a different game, beaten twice by Lee in 1v1 situations during the first half) Morrison 7 Dervite 7 Fox 7 Cousins 7 Poyet 7.5 Jackson 6 Ajdarevic 6 Reza 4 Church 4
Giving Cousins a higher mark than Wilson is beyond ridiculous. I think you'll find that on at least one of those occasions, Lee (a very skilful player) was shepherded inside by Wilson only for Cousins to commit a clumsy foul
Hamer 7 - did what was required with some good saves Wilson 8 - Was solid for the whole game Morrison 7 - Decent Dervite 7 - handled his marker well but got me a bit worried in the second half a few times Fox 7.5 - Solid at the back, loved his overlapping runs but just needs to cross a bit better Reza 6.5 - Had some good moments but struggled to have an impact on the match Poyet 8 - Outstanding as usual. wonderful to watch Jackson 7 - felt he gave it everything Ajderevic 8.5 - MOTM was very surprised when he was taken off, he was really really good, pulling the strings in midfield and creating opportunities single handily. Cousins 6 - things just weren't going his way, often looks a bit lost on the wing. Still gave it everything though Church 7.5 - After getting thrown into an advertisement board face first in the second half, he really began to have an impact and played well. Should have had a pen.
Obika 6.5 - was ok but after Riga's next two subs, the side looked a lot weaker.
Overall not a bad performance as reflected above, some slightly better than others, nobody was stand out or awful. But it's all so slow, no wonder we don't score, even given our poor strikers Riga seems to be just guessing and hoping for the best
This is the proverbial nail being struck square on the head.
Hamer 7 Great block in the firsg few minutes Wilson 7 Worked hard throughout, little threat down his side Morrison 6 Too much space between centre halves, but the fb's were pushing up Dervite 6 Fox 8 Excellent, always provided an out, only needs to hit an early ball occasionally Reza 6.5 Kept going, and by the énd half was closing down well out of possesion. Poyet 7 Assured Cousins 6 Passing was poor, but never gave up and closed down Jackson 6 Left acres of space first half, for their average right side, but rectified it énd half. Ajdarevic 7 Showed quality, but tailed of énd half Church 7 Should have done better with two chances, but never stopped.
for those of you in the sea of red this afternoon your marks out of 10 please:

Thought Fox played very well in 1st half - from where I was sitting he put in a perfect cross which Church failed to put a good header on.
