still wasnt a brilliant performance but cardiff defended preety well.

Marshall - 8 - Cracking saves made tonight

McNaughton - 7 - Passing still off but defended well and got forward well
Turner - 8 - Solid at back
Hudson - 10 - Best live goal ive ever seen in my life, defended well also
Taylor - 7 - Got caught a few times in first half other than that good

Whittingham - 5 - Wasnt his best game for a while
Gunnarsson - 6 - Nothing special to note
McPhail - 6 - Picked out some nice balls
Lawrence - 6 - Played well

Miller - 6 - Held up ball well unlucky not to score hitting post
Mason - 6 - Good goal after miller hit post chased ball well

Ralls - 6 - Done ok nothing to note
Earnshaw - 5 - Hardly touched ball
Blake - 6 - Done well when on for last 10 mins

mc naughton 7, dreadfull, more like a 5, got forward and gave the ball away AGAIN,

Thought Mason had a very good game and would have gave him 8
Hudson very good too but only 8
Lawrence at leasst 7 seems to be settling in and improviving just at the right time
as for the others i would agree with your ratings.

Mostly agree but for

Marshall ---10 ----superb saves

Hudson---10---goal was absolutely stunning

Whittingham-----2----awful

McNaughton-----1----like a headless chicken and MUST be dropped for next game.

Lawrence did well today, funny though we have Lawrence who has little energy and little pace down the right but uses the ball well and kev who has brilliant energy and good pace but can't pass for shit.

Marshall and Hudson both excellent.

Earnie coming on was again a waste of time, and unbelievably greedy, it was embarrassing at times.

Ideally we could fuse Bothroyd and Rudy together and Lawrence and Mcnaugton.

We'd have the best winger and targetmen in the championship then.

Its funny how we all see things differently!

Mason was tremendous last night. He linked the foward line to midfield, and as daft as it sounds did loads to help the defence. His workrate was phenemenol.
Lawrence is really startig to look the part.
Giving Hudson a 10 is getting a little carried away but I will remember that goal forever.

Super Kev's distribution is getting worse and he is starting to look nervous everytime he has the ball.

Hey. what a ball from Mcnaughton to give Hudson the time to score from 70yds

mcnaughton passed the ball better when he did a back heel rather than kicking it in a straight line forward..


his tackling is great, but is distribution is shocking!


wouldnt have given turner an 8 either, 6 maybe.. defended ok, but gave away 4 corners from nothing by hoofing and miss kicking the ball out for a corner..

Marshall - 8 - Some top quality saves tonight, playing really well at the moment

McNaughton - 6 - Use of the ball was shocking but he does give us that energy and pace we lack with Lawrence wide
Turner - 7 - Erratic at times but solid
Hudson - 10 - Defender very well but a ten as above for the goal alone
Taylor - 6 - Had a hard job when Witts was infront. Witts seemed to track back but then mark an open space instead of closing down.

Whittingham - 4 - Poor again, maybe needs a goal or something, he will hit form at the right time no doubt
Gunnarsson - 7 - Got about well and put a good shift in, his passing a little off
McPhail - 6 - Calm composed and did his job although struggled with derbys pace at times
Lawrence - 7 - Im not fan but thought he did well tonight, calm, composed and put in a decent shift

Miller - 6 - Didnt look himself tonight, hit the post
Mason - 6 - Good finish after Millers post shot and worked hard

Ralls - 6 - Solid enough
Earnshaw - n/a greedy, lazy, waste of space
Blake - 6 - Came on and tightening things up with Kev infront, good sub at a good time

Thought Turner and Hudson were both solid. Hudson on everything in the air and Turner was covering well and booting the ball well. One thing I enjoy about Turner he kicks the ball away with no thinking.. people like Kev who just stand there and dont do nothing.

I thought Turners kicking was awful that day . Sure it was him who shanked it two or 3 times that went out for corners. But overall both CB's were solid.

Thought Kev had a decent game which some dont and thought Mason had a great game

Typing that i was thinking about the slice balls but overall this season

my mom was marshall with top quality saves
