Ankergren 2 as he ultimately cost us the game
Reyes 6
Dunk 7
Greer 7
Tano 6
Noone 4
Vincelot 6
Sparrow 4
Bridcutt 6
LuaLua 7
Mackail-Smith 5
All the subs were 5's as well.
Sparrow didnt take his chance and was totally anonymous, Noone was as poor as he has been in recent weeks, no service to the strikers at all. Deary me.
Casper 4: His mistake ultimately cost us a point, although he made a stupendous late save to stop us going two down.
Tano 6. Little got past him, popped up on left wing regularly.
Reyes 7. Classy act, skipped past opposing players at will, always a pass ahead of most on the park.
Greer 5. Solid but marked down for missing a free header from six yards.
Dunk 6. Some timely tackles.
Bridcutt 5. Does the Remi Moses dogshit role well but a couple of misplaced passes could have cost us dear.
Sparrow 5. The only player to regularly break to support CMS but did not impose himself.
Noone 5. One good run but otherwise a frustrating afternoon.
KLL 6. Beat the full back at will and put in some teasing balls. We need to give him more of the ball in opposition half.
Vincelot 5. Ran about a lot, but then so does my dog. Did little wrong but little of note either.
CMS 4. Very quiet by his own Duracell standards. Nearly cost us dear with a misplaced pass in second half.
Subs.
Buckley 5. One surging run in second half showed his pace but at times lost ball and did little to win it back.
Barnes 5. Had great chance from Buckley cross but it was hit at him at 90 miles an hour so put it well wide
Painter 5. Won a few in the air against the granite hewn Boro defence but also conceded petty fouls that cost us possession and impetus.
I agree with the points and marks although I think you meant Paynter.
thought noone was lively until he was scythed down outside the box (no foul, obviously).....at the time he was limping and i don't think he recovered from that
greer and dunk looked fairly solid.......tanno and reyes were both flair, as was the romain god.......bridcutt looked a bit off the pace and gave the ball away several times.......sparrow tries hard but isn't really up to it at this level against the better teams
lualua looked decent and was causing all sorts of problems, cms ran around a lot but was starved of ammunition
barnes misses probably our best chance and paynter doesn't seem to add much....buckley set up our best chance (for barnes)
i thought boro were one of the best sides i've seen this season.........especially in midfield, their number 10 (bailey?) was superb
