SULLY COULDNT SHOOT
Loyal2Family+Albion!
As I saw the whole thing thanks to Iraq, I'm going to give my opinion....
Kuipers - 8 - very good game and proved that he can still perform. One indecisive move for a throw was his only small error in an otherwise exceptional performance.
Whing - 6 - sorry it WAS a penalty and Whing should not have had his arms up. Also worry about that header across the face of the goal...not convinced he knew what he was doing OK but think he can play better.
El Abd - he's not a left back (if he was I'd give him 5) but worked really really hard and put in some great tackles. Occasionally got caught up field - 7
Tunni - 8 - solid. very happy with his performance
Elphick - 8 - much better. My only concern about both our CBs is the aimless hoofing. Major diff between us and the Saints was when they got out of their area the ball went to one of their players.
Bennet - 6 - poor going forward (TBF he was shackled most of the game) but did give El Abd good support when switched to the left
Cox - 7 - really for the cross for the first goal... in our purple patch he looked great but hardly showed thought the rest of the game and gave little support to the fullbacks.
Crofts - 7 - great goal and played well EXCEPT for the panicking in the middle and giving away of the ball in the second half/
Dicker - As Crofts cept he didnt score - 6.5
Murray - 9 MOM - two great goals great harrasing Sanits defence the only thint that stops a ten is his commitement could have got him another red... you could see he was trying to rein it in. He MUST stay.
Forster - 7 linked up well with Murray but had a bit of stinker in front of goal.
Hart - gave better cover to the defence than Cox but nothing else.
Navarro - quiet for the time he was on but we were tighter in front of the defence after he came on.
Dickinson - super little cameo, tackling back and getting the assist for CRofts goal
Poyet and Tarricco - 9 - seemed to get everything right however will wait a few weeks before I get too excited... teams always play better first game of a new manager.
But WELL DONE!!
