Ratings vs Bolton

[Mowgli37]

Kuszczak: 8.25 - looked solid throughout coupled with some great saves

Calderon: 8.5 - Very good going forward and sound in defence, buying his t-shirt seems to have worked!
Greer: 7 - Solid for most of the match, gave Kuszczak an absolute death stare after he hit him with the ball when trying to kick it out after the first goal
Upson: 7 - Solid also
Ward: 8 - Great going forward as well as defensively, if Wolves don't go up we should definitely try and get him permanently

Ince: 9 - MOTM, Bridcutt and Andrews leave VERY big boots to fill but he did brilliantly
Crofts: 7.25 - Was good overall
Spanish Dave: 7 - Apart from the shocking set pieces he looked much better in open play with some good passes, his form is returning

Buckley: 7.5 - Not his greatest game but he more than made up for a poor first half (like most of the team) with his goal and improved performance
Barnes: 7.25 - Good link up play and caused plenty of trouble for the defenders
Lualua: 9 - Brilliant performance, despite some poor deliveries in the first half he remained throughout our most threatening player and deserved a goal

Subs:
None of them really got into the game enough to merit a score

Kuszczak 7 Made some great saves but some needless punches and a very weak attempt with their goal pegged him back a bit

Calderon 8 One of the few to emerge from the 1st half with much credit, deserved his goal and should continue to keep Bruno out on his current form
Greer 7.5 Solid but made some eye-catching stops
Upson 7 Solid also
Ward 8 Will hopefully be made permanent. Good going forward and solid defensively

Ince 8.5 Barely put a foot a foot wrong and won almost every header. Showing real maturity beyond his years
Crofts 7.5 Really helping Ince develop, adding a calmness and steel in defence
David 5 Set pieces were absolutely pointless. Corners wasted time and again and looks like he did this time last year. Hopefully, he'll improve like he did last year too.

Buckley 7 Getting back to his best I feel but still a way to go. Lovely goal though
Barnes 7 Held the ball up very well and gave a mature performance. Very isolated in the first half though
Lua Lua 8.5 Very good going forward, diligent tracking back. I can only assume its his glass knees that stop him playing every match at the moment

Subs:
All solid if unspectacular although Conway looked promising

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Lopez gets a 7 in Football League Paper, for what it is worth. Should be an objective view though. He has not been at his best as he acknowledged in the programme, but it seems some people are keen to get on his back. An alternative to Barnes maybe.

I saw the Sun's ratings today, and I wasn't overly pleased

It's really quite liberating using a decimal place - that extra bit of differentiation is very useful.

It's not just the point. Several people use it for halves. But you went the whole hog and used numbers other than .5 and .0. Kudos.
