How Many Of These Players Are Up To Division 1 Standard?

[Easy 10]

Anyone who seriously believes a Sun reporter sits there at a 3rd division match and watches closely enough to grade 22 players (+ subs) out of 10 wants their rocks felt. Its completely arbitrary, basically random. A deflected goal off someones arse will earn a mandatory 7 at worst, even if the player was utter turd for the other 90.

Players ratings in the tabs are meaningless tosh. Naylors arn't much better, and he only has to grade OUR mob.

At this moment in time only Foster and maybe Crofts/Bennett (in patches) are playing to their true potential..the rest seem to be rather lacking in confidence and treat the ball as if it is a time bomb...at the mo the team are just as bad as last seasons playing wise but should be much better than this....lets hope the penny drops soon and they realise this

mmm i posted ratings after Tranmere on Saturday but i didnt think of 5 being average i always think 5 is poor. So i'll try again now making 5 average but my memory might have warped a little since then.

Kuipers 5
Hoyte 5
Mcnulty 5
Virgo 4
Elphick 5
Bennett 7
Dicker 4
Crofts 5
Thornhill 3
Hart 4
Murray 7

Wright 5
Cox 6
Dickinson 4

I think Murray would be a top player for Isthmian League Division One South

Does on think that Andy Naylor from the Argus has precisely no clue about football when delivering his marks out of ten.

Andy please remember that 5/10 is average!!

If you didnt play well or have an average game then you will get lower marks than 5.

Sorry, but 5/10 is below average. The standard press agency rating system is as follows....
9/10....Excellent
8/10....Very Good
7/10.....Good
6/10.....Average
5/10.....Below Average
4/10.....Poor
There is no grading below this but I have seen 3/10 given in some newspapers.
On the basis of the ratings that appeared in the Sun...
1 of our players was average
8 of our players were below average
5 of our players were poor
Judging from the reports from Prenton Park, this doesn't sound too far away from the truth.

Since when was THE SUN an authority on The Albion's players?

I'm about as likely to listen to their views on our players as I am to listen to my cat, Floyd.

Calling your cat Floyd is genius! Anyone from EP with a cat has to be well on their way to being an all round corking chap in my book. If I was wearing a hat I would doff it to you.

True, which is why the Sun would use Press Association copy rather than send a reporter to 40 plus games a weekend...

Yep this season has been embarrassing but surely not every player we have bought in the last few years is crap, so I'm now sure there is something wrong with the backroom/training staff, they are not professional enough and this club has been run as a holiday camp for too long, with a £90m stadium coming up it's time we really sorted out the club, Mr. Bloom (just as Hoyte about the quality of Arsenal training compared to ours!)
From what I saw at the home game v Gillingham most of the players look good enough for this division and a few at higher levels but the regular week in, week out application of effort and skills is seriously lacking, so until that's sorted out whoever comes here will be shite over the long term.

How can 5/10 not be average?

Its middle of the road! not good not bad, halfway, average!!!!

At first he was named appropriately after Pink Floyd, as he has long black hair and is ridiculously sleepy.

However he is now morphing into Floyd Mayweather, as I have seen him at first hand "take out" some of the other local cats who have dared trespass in our garden. And I mean WHACK em.

I've only seen Thornhill twice and both times he's been non existent... other than that, all of them.

I SAW what you did there
