Etheridge 6-Nowhere for the goal, 2 soft saves after that. Distribution very good and quite good at crosses Solly 8-Really good as wing back in second half Gomez 6-His turn to be played out of position,offers nothing going forward Bikey 6- Ben Haim 8-Excellent at the back and caused problems running forward with the ball.,if only we had a midfielder who could do that Gudmundsson 8-Caused more problems in the middle second half and scored a cracker. Buyens 7-Takes too long on the ball Jackson 6- Cousins 7-Also good at wing back second half,gives the ball away too much Harriott 5-Was looking live/y before the dismissal Tucudean 7-One of his better games
Onyewu 7-Another beast at the back,his long throw caused problems Vetokele 5-Would have been ten if it had gone in at the end.
Etheridge 7 Solly 7 Gomez 6.5 this boy will be a top player Bikey 6.5 Ben Haim 8 Gudmundson 8 great goal Buyens 7.5 needs too long on the ball Jackson 6 Cousins 7.5 Harriott 5 Tucudean 9 MOM Superb performance
Etheridge 7.5 (very decent, got to see if he's consistent now) Solly 7 (prefer him at full back, but good) Gomez 6.5 Bikey 7 Ben Haim 8 (so assured, positional play brilliant, MoM) Gunsmunsson 7.5 Jackson 5 (feels harsh, but I didn't notice him except when giving it away) Buyens 6 Cousins 7 (only player I was happy with in 1st half) Harriott 5 (looked like a red, couple of decent crosses) Tucudean 7.5 (much better/more dangerous)
Onyewu 6.5 Vetokele 7 (faultless until 94th min...)
Etheridge.. 7 - Had good command of his penalty area, not much else to do Solly.. 7 - His usual self, did well from Right-Midfield Gomez.. 6.5 - Gonna love watching his career but Jones had him in his pocket today Bikey.. 6.5 - Again also strugged a bit v Jones, in a bit of a poor patch Ben Haim.. 7.5 - Our best Defender Gudmundsson.. 8.5 - Great goal, made things happen Jackson.. 7 - Good to have him back, strugged as lacking fitness after injury Cousins.. 7 - I personally believe the Left suits him as he protects the Full-Back Buyens.. 7.5 - Great performance, slotted in at the back with Bikey & Onyewu forward Harriott.. 6 - Bullied all over the place, should have kept his cool Tucudean.. 8.5 (MoTM) - One of his best performances, needs consistancy
Vetokeke.. 7 - An inform Igor would have scored today Onyewu.. 8 - Impressive, wasnt sure to think of his signing but I like him
Etheridge 7 - first half shaky, second firm Solly 6 Gomez 6 - good lad. Learning his trade with the experience. More I see him more I like his style. Bikey 7 Ben Haim 7 Gudmundsson 9 - MOM pushed everyone else forward Buyens 7 Jackson 6 - couldn't last the game but is coming back from injury so hardly surprising. Cousins 6 Harriott 3 - not one of his better moments Tucudean 6
Onyewu 7 - would like to see more of him as he looks promising. Vetokele 7
Etheridge 8 Very coommanding && alert Solly 8.5 Superb Gomez 5 to hesitant cooming forward Bikey 8 immense Ben Haim 9 immense & skillful Gudmundsson 8.5 (extra point for the goal) Great 2nd half Buyens 7.5 kept things moving Jackson 5.5 not great Cousins 7.5 kept going Harriott 4 weak Tucudean 7.5 causes havoc
Onyewu 7 looks a bit ungainly but dealt well with things Vetokele 6 That miss!!!!!
Etheridge - 7. Looked good. Quick distribution. We've been crying out for that. Good on crosses.
Solly - 8. Great performance. Especially as a winger second half.
Gomez - 4. Poor today. Class act in the making and out of position but naïveté showed. He'll have better days.
Bikey - 7. Crap first half. Inspirational second.
Ben Haim - 9 mom
Gudmundsson - 8. Absolutely stole a living in the first half. Negative and couldn't be arsed. Absolutely brilliant second half. Couldn't believe it was the same player. Goal of he season. Please do this all the time!!!!!!
Buyens - 5. Kept playing backwards. Wayward passes would have cost us against a team that actually wanted to win the game unlike Cardiff who were a disgrace.
Jackson - 4. Didn't know he was playing
Cousins - 5. Gets all five for effort. Piss poor but not his fault. He's not a left.......oh FFS I give up.
Harriott - 2. Brainless twat. Two points for puting his shirt on the right way round.
Tucudean - 7. Not convinced he has a clue what he's doing but bust his buns all day and was unlucky not to score. Never seems to do the obvious but we liked dangerous today when he got involved.
Onyewu - 5. Carthorse but did some good things. I suspect if we have to start him we will be stuffed.
Vetokele 4. Sorry, harsh, but he had one job to do and he fcuked it up. Again!!!!!
Etheridge - 7 Safe pair of hands but hardly tested. Solly - 8 Steady as ever. Gomez - 6 Was beaten for pace by Adeyemi. Bikey - 7 Shaky first half but solid in 2nd. Ben Haim - 8 The artful dodger of defending. Gudmundsson - 9 Goal of the season. Some stunning ball control too. Buyens - 7 Better second half. Jackson - 5 Struggled to keep up with the pace. Cousins - 7 Second half much better Harriott - 4 Not great before sending off and was warned by ref to calm down 5 minutes earlier. Tucudean - 8 Beautiful dummy to let Igor in. Shame he couldn't score.
Onyewu - 7 Shored up the left side and long throws looked effortless. Vetokele - 7 Looked sharp but will be having nightmares with that one on one.
The Referee - 10 for motivating the crowd and for some stunningly poor decisions. Hope enjoys the trip back to Wales.
Etheridge - 7.5 Solly - 8 Gomez - 7.5 Done well at left back Bikey - 7 Ben Haim - 8.5 Gudmundsson - 8 Buyens - 6.5 Jackson - 6 Cousins - 7 Harriott - 4 Tucudean - 8.5 we create more when George plays.
Onyewu - 7.5 looked good Vetokele - 7 should have started. cant believe the miss!!
Etheridge 7 - Did OK but suffered from lack of confidence early on Solly 8 - Solid 1st half and good 2nd period; drove the team onwards Gomez 5 - Struggled at left back as he is (very) right footed Bikey 7 - Decent, solid game from the big man Ben Haim 7.5 - Very good game with good interceptions and runs Gudmundsson 7 - Poor 1st half but storming second; fabulous goal, which will probably be the best of the season? Buyens 6.5 - Kept things ticking over without much support Jackson 5 - Anonymous throughout Cousins 6 - Awful 1st half but better in second Harriott 4 - Was having a poor game (apart from one run) prior to the deserved sending off Tucudean 6.5 - Terrible 1st half but came alive when he had support from Igor; unlucky not to score
Onyewu 7 - Has no pace but good skill Vetokele 7 - Changed the game; Cardiff were very scared of him and he should have won it at the death
Note - The referee was appallingly biased. All you want is consistency but he had none.
Etheridge 7.5 not a lot to do, did it well, quick to distribute Solly 7.5 love him bombing forward Gomez 6.5 tested a bit, faded Bikey 7.5 some great blocks and clearances Ben Haim 8 excellent today, at times our best midfielder Gudmundsson 8 poor first half, great 2nd, extra for goal of the season contender Buyens 7.5 was everywhere, improved in 2nd I thought Jackson 6.5 OK, didn't notice him much Cousins 6.5 as JJ Harriott 5 thought he looked our liveliest player, but was clearly taking chances. Was warned by the ref. Shouldn't have done it. Not seen the foul, but if Bob says it was a red, fair enough. Ref was so crap I expected him to find another red shirt to send off Tucudean 7.5 not everything came off but was lively and better 2nd half.
Onyewu 6.5 dwarfs The Beast! Good long throws. Vetokele 6 should have done better.
Etheridge - Shaky / indecisive at times, grew in confidence - needs a run of competitive games. 7 Solly - Solid, reliable 7 Gomez - Struggled on left, right footed Cousins in front didn't help 6 Bikey - Kept Jones in his pocket 90% of the time. - 6 Ben Haim - Sometimes too keen to get play started again. Solid and dependable - 7 Gudmundsson - Quiet 1st half, 2nd half best game for Charlton - 9 Buyens - If only he had some pace 6 Jackson - Felt he could have been 'more of a captain' with regards getting in the ref's ear 6 Cousins - Consistent, still struggling to shine on the left 6 Harriott - Poor touches finally caught up with him, only got this far in the game because he is quick 3 Tucudean - Much better team with George in the side - only time we make chances - very intelligent footballer 9
Onyewu - Calm. Not as good with ball at feet as Bikey and Haim, good to have someone finally that can throw! 7 Vetokele - Lively. Needs another couple of starts on the bench to face tiring defenders to get confidence back 6
Etheridge - 8 - Thought he really commanded his area well. Nothing he could do for the goal. Encouraging! Solly - 7 - Solid game for Chris. Maybe if he had been 6ft 5 he might have stopped the cross for Cardiff's first goal but I can't really hold that against him Gomez - 7 - Thought he was unlucky to be taken off. Some cracking passes Bikey - 8 - Dominant in the air Ben Haim - 9 - Should have shot in the first half instead of passing but was simply fantastic today Gudmundsson - 9 - Terrible in the first half but his second half performance was simply excellent. What a goal! Buyens - 7 - Was important in distributing the ball for our constant waves of attacks Jackson - 5 - Didn't do a lot during his cameo. Looked tired too but hasn't played much so not 'match fit'. Cousins - 6 - A bit anonymous Harriott - 5 - Poor challenge for his red but I thought he probably was our best player before being taken off. Tucudean - 7 - Some great passes to set up attacks in the 2nd half. Good stuff.
Onyewu - 7 - Thought he looked very solid. Vetokele - 7 - made a difference when he came on. Obviously should have scored at the end but nobody will need to remind him of that
