Player Ratings

Marshall 7

Turner 5
Nugent 6
Taylor 7
Conway 7
Gunnerson 6
Whittenham 4
Smith 5
Helguson 6
Campbell 6


Not sure if ive ever seen whittenham play that badly, he needs to be dropped imo and Malky should bring Kimbo in instead.
Also i would play Noone and Conway on the wings the Leicester, and Hopefully Bellamy will be available so we can put Helguson back on the bench.

Conway 7 ? i thought he was awful, he also gave the ball away which led to their goal

conway should be 4 , awful, kept given the ball away, He should have been replaced half time

Campbell the only player worthy of a 7 in my opinion last night.

The rest of them 6 or below.

i thought conway had an excellent first half, though yeah, he was one of a few players to blame for the goal.

Way generous ratings in my opinion. 6 would suggest a player was above average and apart from campbell and nooney i didnt see that last night

Marshall 6 - didn't use the ball well. The amount of time he gave the ball to Nugent in poor positions and on his wrong foot was crazy.

Connelly 6 - his general game was ok, but when he plays RB we have no width or outlet that side.

Turner 5 - struggled all afternoon with Sammon, use of the ball was awful.

Nugent 5 - same as turner, we looked a mess at the back again.

Taylor 5 - thought he was very poor today, poor touches, poor passing. Couldn't be more different to his wolves performance.

Smith 5 - hasn't done if for a few games now, didn't offer anything during the game.

Gunnarrson 4 - worked hard but I don't remember him doin anything of note really.

White 4 - made a couple of goin tackles then pulled out of a few he should have won. Passing off and totally over run in midfield.

Conway 5 - he did keep going on like others but lacked quality.

Helguson 6 - lack of service to the front two was shocking, worked hard but like the others a lot of nothing.

Campbell 7 - only player for me to come out the starting 11 with credit. Worked so hard, chase back to win the ball several times but one man looking sharpe isn't enough.

Subs
Noone 7 - with Bellamy not in the team I can't understand why he didn't start. He lacked a direct player who will run at people. Game changes when he came on.

Mason 6 - did ok, I felt something may happen more so with Mason on instead of Helguson.

Rudy 6 - general play was ok, but should have done better with the chance.

MM 5 - wrong starting 11 and subs IMO again like Brighton were far to late. In game like these we need to change things quicker. I know he isn't a fans fav but even sticking Cowie on half time in a wide position would have sured up the midfield for a while.
But I'm confident in MM to get it back on track next Tuesday.

Overall I thought the team was totally outplayed IMO, the defence looked nervous and Sammon took advanced of that.
Midfield totally overrun, Whits and Gunnar didn't get near anyone and the wide players had little effect.
I really did feel sorry for the strikers who had next to no service.

I was never as confident as others about us going up and that gap has dropped considerably in recent weeks but I'm confident we can bounce back against Leicester now and push on.

Turner was the one at fault for there goal ..conway lost the ball near the half way line out on the touch line ..when the ball came in the box turner deflects it into the path of salmon instead of kicking it out of play

sammon who is a tremendous workhorse but little more made our back four look like mugs.If Nigel clough had been more positive Derby would have won easy
Malky took kev off at half time at boro why didnt he make a change sooner last night?
Cowie to sure up the midfield would have been a good move , and where is jordan mutch?
