Baker 5 Thompson 6 Smallbone 4
Campbell 4 Powell 4
Brown 2 Clarke 6 Delap 7 Fosu 6.5

Bursik 4 - at fault for the second goal, and no command of the area. When was the last time he came out and held a cross? Had a few good first touch passes that started attacks.
Fox 7 - good game, didn't make a mistake like the other defenders Jags 5 - ok game apart from the first goal. It happens, needs to move on. Wilmot 4 - again he makes mistakes, like he does every game. Thompsons card was Wilmots alone (that cross was atrocious)
Tymon 6 - ok, tried but was kept quiet Sterling 5 - at first he was bloody awful, but got better as the first half progressed. Was he fit to play?
Baker 5 - was he even on the pitch? Totally anonymous apart from the pen and one shot. Awful. Thompson 7 - did his job and is the only one who can read attacks. Smallbone 5 - some glimpses, but just isn't getting into the right positions
Campbell 4 - really poor game. had a few runs but his crossing let him down. And the number of offsides he got into was unreal. Powell 6 - poor first half, better in the second when he was playing in midfield. Willing to fight at least, something that can't be said for many of them.
Clarke 5 - nice trickery at the final stage, but his lack of marking for the second goal was bloody awful. Fosu 7 - lively. I still think using Tymon and Fosu as wingers would work in a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-1-4-1 Delap 5 - did well and got the pen, but utimately he's a striker and should have done much much better with his chance at the end. Brown 3 - Brown is so out of form he shouldn't be starting games in the U23s. Did he do anything right at all?

Bursik 2, probably the worst goalie in the league! Fox 6, our best defender today. Jags 6, cost us the game today! Wilmot 4, liability! Tymon 6, OK. Sterling 5, offers nothing going forward. Baker 6 Thompson 6 Smallbone 5 Campbell 2, probably one of the worst performances of a striker ever! Powell 3, terrible passing and decision making. Clarke 6, but should have done better with their second. Fosu 6, at least he tried. Delap 5, gave us a penalty, but you need to put chances as he got away! I think you need to change your commentary on Campbell’s performance with a line added to read “until I witnessed Brown’s substitute appearance which remarkably was even worse”. I think Browns goals etc last season were a one off event…he really isn’t very good. How poor must Scotland be if he can get in that team ?!

He’s not broken into the team yet has he?

Even though Brown is a limited player he tries! You could hardly say that about Campbell, could you?

Even though Brown is a limited player he tries! You could hardly say that about Campbell, could you? 100% of nothing = nothing. Campbell didn’t “not try” either. He chased countless aimless balls but didn’t play well. In one passage of play I counted 4 runs he made down the side and in behind. The ball didn’t come. He then came short to receive, Tymon played it behind and the idiots near me lambasted him for not moving. Campbell and Powell are held to different standards than everyone else.

Yes, he was chasing some lost causes, but he didn't compete for a single 50/50 ball. In fact he looked shit scared if he came close!

Thought everything you said was about Campbell!! It actually was a good description of him. Brown is limited and without much understanding of the game, but he is at least a trier. He should not in any way be our player up front, but I certainly prefer him playing alone on top to Campbell. Campbell has shown in the past that he has something special, but after he came back from that injury he has mostly been really awful.

Think it's more a result of not being able to read the game.

I'm surprised Thompson isn't getting more praise. He wasn't spectacular but he did the holding midfielder job as well as anybody we've seen this season.

I think he's got the highest average of all the scores, and was even mentioned as MOTM (although with a score of 5...). As you say, he seldom gets the glory and the headlines, but that comes with the job and position.

As much as I've been impressed by Neil's tactical flexibility I think he got it all wrong yesterday and the players looked poor as a result. When we've played 5 at the back well we've built patiently from the back and we have the players to do that. Yesterday we just hoofed it long at every opportunity - either raking cross field balls that easily got cut out or punts down the middle to two central strikers who aren't effective target men. Yes the players were poor (apart from Fox and Thompson who I thought had decent games) but they really didn't look comfortable with the game plan.
Oh and we really do need an experienced goalie - it's costing us.

Fox 7 - good game, didn't make a mistake like the other defenders His pass to Jageilka for their first goal was abysmal.

Jags was 99% at fault, Fox maybe 1%. It was a somewhat risky pass, but nowhere near as risky as the passes we always have between the back three and Bursik.
