Anyone back?

 

[Trigger]

Kuszczak 5

Calderon 5
El-Abd 5
Upson 4
Bridge 5

Bridcutt 5 (Mackail-Smith 5)
Hammond 4
Orlandi 6
Lopez 4
Barnes 0 - Thick as shit

Ulloa 5 (Vicente 5)

Gus 0 - Totally wrong from the start and didn't get much better throughout.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Can't be asked to detail - mostly 3s and 4s from me
CMS 2nd half looked like he was trying to prove a point, so I'd go 5.5 on effort + assist for the goal [indirectly]
PIG 2nd half was a 2 - total mare for the fella - SW fans were loving it.
Don't think there was any "belief" once Barnes went for a very unprofessional foul - let his team down IMO

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

All 4 apart from Barnes 0 and Poyet 0 for bottling it again. Fills the bench with attack minded players, let's have some balls Poyet and start playing them. Never know we might actually look like winning an away game. Not yet enjoyed a game away. I'm going to Cardiff but after that will not bother unless Poyet starts picking a more positive team.

 

[The Camel]

I thought Ulloa was clearly the best player on the pitch. Excellent control and movement. Looks absolute class.

CMS played well too.

Orlandi, Lopez and Bridcutt all had terrible games imo.

I guess you didn't go to Ipswich, that was a great day out.

No illness stopped me, I've been to 7 away and seen us win twice, one being Millwall where looked great for 70 mins and then tripe

The other Watford? That was the definition of hanging on.

Yes I was there as well, in fact the only two games I've seen us win away!!

Some of those ratings are outrageous. Vicente a 7? What's that for? Coming on the pitch and literally do f*** all for 30 mins except give the ball away.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Being generous:

Kuszczak - 2

Calderon - 5
Upson - 4
El-Abd - 4
Bridge - 3

Bridcutt - 7 - MotM
Orlandi - 7
Hammond - 5
Spanish Dave - 4
Barnes - 1

Ulloa - 2

Vicente - 1
Mackail-Smith - 5

The other Watford? That was the definition of hanging on.

I've been to 4 away and seen 4 wins (Watford, Milwall, Hudds, Ipswich). Next on up for me is Bolton, so if you're superstitious then skip Cardiff and come to that.

 

[Jack Daniels]

No illness stopped me, I've been to 7 away and seen us win twice, one being Millwall where looked great for 70 mins and then tripe

Doing better than me I have only seen us win once in seven.

CMS was really lively when he came on. Vicente wasn't.

Upson...I thought he might be quite commanding in the air, but everytime they crossed the ball they looked like scoring.

I was quite happy with the starting line up, but how easy it was for Wednesday to bully us out of the game. We already looked crap when Barnes got sent off. After that, and the inevitable avoidable goal that followed seconds later, there was no chance.

If Ankergren had played like Kuszczak played, he'd have been lynched.

They had bottled Carling or tins of 'Stones'. It really was a crap day out.

 

[Lord Bamber]

Kuszczak - 4 Has started to flap really badly at crosses. Not sure if this is affecting the defence at all but they have not seen their normal impressive self in recent games.

Calderon - 6 MOM Tireless running all game and was constantly geeing his team mates up
Upson - 4 Won a number of early comfortable headers but given the three goals were all defensive foul ups he needs to improve
El-Abd - 4 As above.
Bridge - 5 Seemed to give their winger too much space but did attack well.

Bridcutt - 6 Not as commanding as ever but this probably has more to do with us playing with 10 men for too long.
Orlandi - 6 Started slowly, was lightweight but then improved.
Hammond - 5 Too often slows the passage of play down, needs to pass in front of the man also.
Spanish Dave - 6 Great engine second half, helped show it was difficult to see what team had 10 men second half
Barnes - 0 Has to stamp out this petulance when something does not go his way.

Ulloa - 5 Held it up well but needs to cut out the jumping into the man rather than going for the ball

Vicente - 2 Thought he was very poor when coming on, kept giving the ball away and looked like he was still carrying a lot of excess xmas pie baggage
Mackail-Smith - 6 Showed some great glimpses of a promising partnership with Ulloa when he came on.
