I was at Yeovil today. It wasn't great but I think a lack of confidence is the problem rather than a lack of effort or ability.
TK. 7. Looked assured apart from one crazy dribble across the box
Bruno 5 not as bad as some on this site have said but his crossing was poor
Greer. 6. Sound enough
Upson. 6. As above
Ward. 6. Fair but didn't offer much going forward
Ince 5. Started well but a silly booking and lost belief (withdrawn)
Spanish Dave. (sub) 4 anonymous
Andrews. 6. Fairly solid
Conway 5. Ok in the first half but faded badly (withdrawn)
Buckley 6 Limited supply in decent positions but worked hard
Crofts 5. Could have been more involved but ok
Barnes 6 some half chances. Lacked enough supply after the break
Lita (sub). 5. Looked a bit rusty
Forster- Caskey (sub) Not on for long enough to make an impression
I feel Brighton, collectively, needed to work harder off the ball and press higher up the pitch. Players need to be prepared to shoot from 20- 25 yards. Set pieces were very 'average'.
Disappointing but not a cause to panic.

Kuszcsak - 8 - played the pass of the match to set Buckley away in the 2nd half. 3 or 4 good saves.
Bruno - 7 - Much better defensively than Calderon, saved us on numerous occasions.
Ward - 5 - Very poor
Greer - 5 - Every attacking set piece he gave a free-kick away. Sloppy in first half, but defended well in second.
Upson - 6 - Ok - average.
Ince - 4 - Oh dear. Withdrawn, to save him from further punishment. An unusual off-day for him.
Andrews - 5 - Better than vs Forest, but he hardly bothered then.
Crofts - 8 - MoM for me. Broke up play, drove the midfield on time and time again.
Conway - 3 - Absolute rubbish. can't kick with his left foot, turns back onto his right every time without exception. Rarely attacks a full-back. A journeyman pro stopping a youngster (Solly March) coming through.
Buckley - 5 - Good last 10 mins. Hopeless the rest of the time. Missed a good chance.
Barnes - 5 - Does try hard and had a couple of half chances that he didn't take.
Lopez - 4 - Continued his poor form - did nothing.
Lita - 5 - Made a difference, but missed presentable chances.
JFC - 5 - Buzzed about in the short time he was on.
Crowd - without a roof, though everyone made a good effort.

Now, i wasn't there so can't really comment - but the BBC site said he gave away 2 fouls in the match - did we only have 2 attacking set-pieces?
I counted 3 in the 2nd half and commented to the people around me how every time Greer was being penalised......

Suprised by the low marks for Conway - he was the best player on the pitch imho

Kuszczak 8 - Solid. Never looked like conceding. Much better distribution than the last few games.
Ward 3 - Poor today. Kept loosing possession. Let his man through too easily.
Greer 4 - Defended well. Distribution was shocking. On another note, due to there being no roof, at times the ground was completely silent. Interesting to hear what I thought I have seen from all other games. Greer wasn't organising or making calls. It was Keith Andrews doing all the work. Can't be very good for the whole dressing room when you're captain who isn't the greatest player anyway isn't doing his job. Feel like there needs to be a change somewhere there.
Upson 7 - Solid as usual.
Bruno 6 - Looked to be back to his best first half. Very skilful, quick and very good in possession. Defensively, he wasn't great and seemed to fade slightly in second half.
Ince 2 - Very poor. Can't say much more.
Crofts 8.5 MOM - Engine in midfield today. Would have lost without him.
Andrews 6 - Worked hard. His leadership skills were vital today.
Barnes 2 - Gets a 2 for effort. His job is to score goals. He got plenty of chances the first half which he could have least troubled the keeper with but there was nothing. Not up to it.
Buckley 4 - Would have been a 1 if it wasn't for the last 10 minutes of the game where he springed into life. Before that, there was no effort, no skill, no movement and no pace. Very disappointing to see after how good he was last season. It was very frustrating seeing Bruno charging down the wing only to see Buckley jogging over, casually.
Conway 8 - Very skilful. Put some very good crosses in the box today. Was very, very impressed. Shocked by the low ratings on here, but it's easy to pick on the easy target when the team doesn't play well. Can't see where any of our chances would have come from today if he wasn't playing. Beat his man most times with ease as well.

I'd agree with this. No-one, except maybe Bruno, played terribly; it was just a very poor team performance.

Being at the game, this is the most accurate assessment of the game. The guy who gave Bruno 6 and Ince 2, must have mixed the players up, an obvious mistake to make.
. Bruno was diabolical, and all around me were chanting for Caldy to replace him.HawkTheSeagull

No, its that they arent wearing anti-Bruno glasses like a lot on NSC, though if he is in their team of the week - it says a lot about the Championship than anything else.
He wasnt brilliant, but he wasnt great.

I agree with this, Buckley only gets his on his last 15 minutes he was so poor before that, I think maybe I would add 1 more point for Crofts as I made him mom, but spot on otherwise.

Not brilliant or great suggests he was distinctly average

For the negative thinking person yes. It actually means he was good.
