Not being negative but this was about a professional set up and performance but not individual excellence.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Bridge and Bridcutt stood out on the tv. Buckley was immense in the first-half and hardly had a touch in the second.

 

[Grombleton]

Kuszczak - 7. Solid, had little to do.
Greer - 7. Dependable, felt a bit worried at times when he had the ball but did well.
Calderon - 6. Wasn't his best game, felt he had the shadow of the yellow card over him.
Upson - 7. Same as Greer, but better on the ball.
Bridge - 8. So much energy, wiling to attack when needed it and rarely out of position.
Hammond - 7.5 Appeared everywhere, i just wish he could finish.
Orlandi - 6. Some ok touches but felt the game passed him by.
David Lopez - 7. His set pieces were deadly.
Bridcutt - 8.5 Best player out there - looked comfortable off the ball and made some crucial blocks and interceptions.
Buckley - 7. Started really well but faded as the game went on.
Ulloa - 7. Great tracking back but looked a little isolated at times.


Subs:

LuaLua - 6. Not his best game by a long shot, found himself doubled up too often.
Barnes - n/a not on long enough.

this is about right. Thought Orlandi was poor tonight.......still think hes better more centrally. not a left winger for me

But well happy with the result...

 

[beefypigeon]

Very solid performance, but don't think we were outstanding by any means. Palace were there for the taking.

Kuszczak - 7 - nothing much to do.
Calderon - 6 - pretty good first half but Zaha had the better of him 2nd, and silly yellow.
Greer - 7 - didn't put a foot wrong.
Upson - 7 - same as Greer, perhaps a little more assured on the ball.
Bridge - 8 - Had Zaha in his pocket and got forward well. Good performance.
Orlandi - 5 - I thought he was pretty poor tonight.
Hammond - 8 - Good performance I thought. Was everywhere. Should perhaps have scored though.
Bridcutt - 9 - Best player on the park.
David Lopez - 6 - Good deliveries into the box, but other than that he didn't have much impact.
Buckley - 6 - Find him very hit and miss. He's a threat for sure, but wasted some great chances of getting the ball into the box.
Ulloa - 7 - Was a nuisance. Didn't really get much of a chance to be honest.

LuaLua - 6 - Not much time to have an impact, but I felt held more of a threat than Buckley did.
Barnes - 6 - Surprised he wasn't involved from the off. Thought he looked good in the short space of time he was on.

 

[SeagullSongs]

I thought Orlandi looked great on the telly


Edit: Thought he played well too!

Barnes - n/a not on long enough.

About right for me. Hard to believe Bridcutt won't be playing in the premier league one way or other next year putting on a performance like that in such a "shop window" game.

 

[Lethargic]

The one thing that really stood out is that Bridcutt is probably the best player in the Championship, it was a great team performance idea for the tie but Liam shined as the real quality player on the pitch not the diving premadona like some others.

I'd give Ulloa 6 but agree with the rest. Thought Greer had a great game.

Bridcutt best player on the pitch tonight, disciplined, efficient + tenacity.

Which club could he realistically go to in the prem who play his position? The only one i can think of is maybe Chelsea for Mikel.

I'll go with these.

Thought Orlandi had a Weston Super and could not understand why Gus kept him on there.
