Were they that good, or were we that bad ? WTF's happened during the international break.
Stockdale. Eaten all the pies! Sluggish movement, broad across the beam and chest. Too slow down and up plus some poor distribution.
Bruno. Spent most of the match by the halfway line or beyond. Poor control and slow to cover defensively.
Duffy. Never covered Bruno, so left a massive quarter of the pitch to Hogan.
Dunk. Man of Match.
Bong. Still finding his feet back in the team. Not the player he was, especially defensively, but improving going forward.
Kayal. Tried to get things going, but we have to accept he is at his best with Stephens alongside.
Norwood. Sorry, not good enough for top of Championship and might just as well have kept JFC as cover.
Murphy. Largely anonymous after the first 20 minutes
Knockaert. Tried hard, but too selfish
Murray. Spent too much time anywhere but near the goal! Doesn't really work with Hemed.
Hemed. Tried hard, but little came off. Doesn't really work with Murray.
Ref. Poor
Manu. Good sub appearance.
Stephens. Looked the part, albeit rusty.
Skalak. Should have come on for Murphy sooner.
