Ref - 2 - Utter, utter TRASH.
Do not agree as I thought that the ref was the best we have had this season by a country mile. Allowed the advantage and as soon as he realised there wasnt an advantage he blew up.
Dont think that he made a bad or wrong decision throughout the entire game. He watched the handbags with Price and El Abd and again took the correct approach and just spoke to both without a card for either.
I'm in the whole 5 is the average mark camp. Which I feel more people should be.
---
Brezovan - 4 - Had little to do. The things he did, he didn't do very well.
Hoyte - 4 - As mentioned in another thread, he's not League One quality, let alone Arsenal quality.
Elphick - 6 - Done OK. Silly RIDE to concede the freekick leading to their first goal. Good run for his goal.
El Abd - 7 - MOM - Been more and more impressed with him under Poyet. Winning a lot of headers no matter the size of his opponent. I also no longer panic when he has the ball at his feet (OK, well maybe sometimes!)
Calderon - 5 - One of his quieter games. Caught out of position a couple of times, also had a few stray passes. Not to mention his 40 yard effort that almost hit the clock (slight over exaggeration)
Lua Lua - 5 - Frustrating.
Navarro - 6 - Gave the ball away a couple of times. But overall made good coverage, knocked it about a bit, and got stuck in. Also the most vocal player actually trying to lift the team.
Crofts - 6 - Would like him to be the more attacking of the 3 central midfielders. We've seen he can get forward, cause trouble, and hit a good shot, but doesn't do it enough. Overall he done OK.
Dicker - 6 - Going to give him a 6 simply for his lovely turn in the middle of the pitch first half, causing 3 of their players to go into a spinning world of confusion.
Bennett - 6 - Again one of his quieter games. Almost like if Calderon isn't on it, then Bennett isn't on it. Didn't get enough supply out to him though.
Barnes - 4 - Agreed that he's not a lone striker, but still had a couple of sniffs, but didn't really do anything with them. Also got a booking.
Subs -
Hendrie - 7 - Will be quality at this level if he can get match fit. Hope we sign him for next season. Quality ball for the goal. Needs to pull strings a bit, as felt he should have taken the freekick in approximately the same place as their goal. Perfect place for a left footer, whether he's a freekick specialist or not.
Holroyd - 6 - Will give him a bonus point for at least having a pop at goal from ouside the box, that actually went close, something we didn't see much of in the 90 minutes.

I can't remember a game with less crowd noise, I almost dozed off at one point.
f*** ME i wonder if im at the same game as others sometimes
Quite. We had 20 shots on goal, they had three! Their defence won the game, IMO. Gutted that both free-kicks were debatable and silly mistakes cost us again. But Carlisle will have gone home breathing a huge sigh of relief. They were shithouse!
On another note, can their coach get a bollocking from the FL for doing the old 2-1 with his fingers to the F-block fans towards the end? Utter utter
