JFC or Super Tom for me.
Bruno was absolute shite for 75 minutes, and then superb for the last 15 !

I'm not sure that he lost the ball more times than Ward, although when he did it was in a more dangerous situation as they normally had 2-3 coming down the left-hand side.
So not a mile, but yeah he was our worst defender. Still not bad, though, and I'd take him over Calderon because of the extra attacking impetus he gives us.
At 0-0 him over Calderon any day of the week. When defending a lead sometimes I'd rather see Calde although people forget how easily he can be skinned.
You are utterly wrong however.

I'll forgive you since it is difficult to see so far away up there, but I thought JFC didn't have a great game (and I'm a fan of his).
It was Bruno until he gave me a few heart attacks diving in and missing (sublime cross excepted) but it was finally between Buckers and Upson. Honourable mentions to Dunk, Ward (my current player of the season) and Ince.
Dunk or Ward for me. Though Ince played magnificently too. God, it's a tough one tonight. Long may we have the problem of trying to pick a MoM!

I agree, he won the ball back many times. His cross for Ulloa's goal was pinpoint accurate.
Upson for me. Bruno is a liability as a defender, backing off by 10 yards and standing with your hands behind back is not defending and he even managed to turn his back a couple of times, horrendous. Added to which he always allows the attacker across him thus a a free shot/cross and there were plenty tonight! He did though manage one cross tonight and it resulted in a goal. Some posters say he offers more going forward I disagree Cald has scored more and created more imo.
Other good performances tonight Dunk Ward and Ince better J F-C and Buckley. Overall though I felt we were second best for the majority of the game and a yard off the pace.
Should mention the substitution bringing Lua Lua on actually created the space on the other wing that resulted in the goal. A game changer.

For me:
Kuszczak - no - one or two decent saves, but he struggled to hold onto the ball too often, and distribution was pretty poor.
Bruno -no - great cross for the goal, but although he made some key tackles, he also frequently lost possession too easily
JFC - no - seem to run into alleys when good passes are on, or shooting opportunity was there, also seemed to try to be too cute at times and lost possession
Ince - no - struggle to control the ball, little clumsy in the challenge
Ulloa - no - not sure he did much for the goal, it seemed to arrive at him too quickly for him to react, but he did score, he got a few clearances in, but there was one incident in the second half where he had a tackle that made Lopez look like Terry Butcher, and often times seemed to be too dejected and not really up for it. Not a notably bad game, but not MOTM-worthy.
I'd be inclined to go with Ward or Upson. Dunk did ok, but seemed to rely on Upson a lot. Upson was assisting Dunk while also dominating, Ward put in a strong defensive performance and got a goal.

Ince. Bruno. Lush. Dunk. Ward. In that order
Upson, Ince, Koosh the stand outs, with Ward and Dunk very close behind.

Wouldn't have him as MoM necessarily, but was heartening to see JFC put on a decent show, as his recent performances have had me wondering if he could cut it at this level.
