Ratings: Vs Sheffield Utd [H]


Camp – 7.5 – could have perhaps done better with the goal but his early save was exceptional. His mobility coming off the line is a major asset with such a poor defence. Does it bear thinking about where we’d be if he wasn’t in the side?

Moloney – 6 – I won’t criticise too harshly a young man who is very new to senior football, but besides one or two flashes I don’t think he has got what it takes.

Wilson – 6.5 – an improvement on his recent performances.

Morgan – 8 – the only player comfortable in bringing the ball out of defence, or in handling possession at all. A big concern in itself.

Lynch – 5.5 – mostly solid but far from watertight. I don’t think he’s worth keeping.

Anderson – 6.5 – a frustrating evening, fraught with the chasing of lost causes and dead ends.

Perch – 5 – one good through ball but generally he played the pointless role to perfection, as he often does. I would be interested in learning specifically how many of his passes go astray per game – too many, that’s for certain.

Cohen – 6 – a fairly poor day at the office in my opinion, despite teeing up Earnshaw’s miss beautifully.

Tyson – 5 – the Tyson midfield experiment falls flat on its face whenever we take on a deep defence or a solid right back.

Garner – 7 – plenty of graft, won plenty of free kicks and made a nuisance of himself. Much better than on Saturday.

Earnshaw – 6 – should have scored.

Subs:

Thornhill – 6.5 – wanted possession, at least.

Davies – 5 – we are getting desperate.
