Heaton 5 - poor kicking and flapped a few times

Kev 5 - looked really uncomfortable on the left IMO and struggled in both defence and attack
Gypes 6 - very solid job, central defence wasn't the problem today
Hudson 6 - thought he defender very well. Some of his distribution was good some very poor and it nearly cost us a few times
Blake 5 - poor first half but got better and better and other than the knock her had he would have stayed on.

Koumas 1 - That was for the one good pass in the first half, otherwise, useless, not involved and offered nothing.
Oli 4 - poor, wasted to much possession
Witts 5 - tried but again poor, no one seemsed to be moving.
Bellamy 5 - poor throughout, I wondered if he was injured for the first half but he seemed to run ok the second half, didnt mean his players and looks like he is lacking confidence?

Jay 5 - Had his uninterested head on.
Chops 6 -thought he was one of few players to get involved and unless he was injured taking him off was madness.

Ref 2 thought he was very poor throughout

Dave Jones 0 - Im very pro Dave Jones but he got this so wrong in so many ways. The first half we were far to narrow, Bellamy offered no help to McNaughton. Seemed like we were playing 3 upfront and it wasnt working, we had no width no creativity.
Second half we went to a more rigid 4-4-2 which could have worked but having WItts and Koumas wide gave us no pace wide and no creativity in middle and Bellamy was wasted upfront.

I think Blake was injured so that might be a reason he went off but surely the game was crying out for someone who can pass and we have McPhail and if you cant bring on Keogh when your losing why do we have him?
Does this mean it was all his fault? no, do I want him sacked? no, amd I frustrated and annoyed? yes very


final note
the Half time game was a disgrace, embarresing, made us look simple. Seriously if thats the best we can come up with someone needs sacking. The "contestants" dont even know what numbers are it seems :roll:
