Ratings: Vs Blackpool [H]


Camp – 7 – a solid enough performance, quick off his line and always alert to back-passes. His mobility around the box is a breath of fresh air and, with January coming, he must surely be signed.

Moloney – 7 – a number of good blocks and a crucial sliding challenge in the first half. Also worked hard to support the midfield in his strongest senior performance so far.

Wilson – 6.5 – a vast improvement on his recent haphazard displays, but the defence were rarely challenged.

Morgan – 7 – strong and confident; continues to be an unlikely source of composure on the ball and a trusted servant in defence.

Lynch – 6 – a slow start, but he was clearly injured.

Cohen – 7 – played several good through balls and provided the usual excellent work rate, despite being dumped confusingly on the right wing – again.

Perch – 6 – should have scored in the first half, otherwise a familiarly steady but largely pointless contribution.

Thornhill – 6.5 – likes to have the ball at his feet and works hard, but he lacks pace, strength and a genuine role in the team.

Anderson – 6.5 – a hot and cold performance; dangerous when running forwards in possession but sometimes went missing.

Garner – 7.5 – won the usual bucketload of cheap free kicks and caused a consistent headache for the Blackpool defence.

Tyson – 6.5 – his pace was as devastating as ever, but without the end product Tyson is increasingly looking out of his depth. Needs goals.

Subs

Bennett – 7 – good to have him back
Earnshaw – 6 – no real impact

Davies – 5 –
the moment he lined up a shot and fell flat on his face having taken swing is fairly definitive. His continued use as a substitute is a sad indictment for our state of affairs, and his involvement as an international is a cataclysmic epitome of Welsh football.
