Bonham - not bad Souttar - not his best. +1 for shit comedy mullet Wilmot - shit Fox - shit squared Clarke - shit but tried not to be shit Thompson - meat and potatoes L1/Champ defender today Baker - fucking shit. Made The Bay of Pigs planning seem like a good day at the office Smallbone - shit but not as shit as he has been Tymon - shit -unless someone had told him that the aim of the game was to kick the ball into touch every 10 minutes -if so then still shit Campbell - couldnt give two shits himself, so naturally performed like someone had shat into a toilet already blocked with shit Brown - unless the game of football involves running for 95 minutes like Forrest Gump, he's fucking shit. Delap - plays the game like he's at Stanworths Fun Fair on the dodgems and likes to go head on into other dodgem cars. so in footballing terms -shit Powell - heads not right. showed minor shit-less patches Laurent - not as shit as his replacee I think this sums up the day perfectly. The only assessment I would disagree with is Smallbone who was as shit as he ever has been. The only reason he was not more shit than he has been on other days, was because as soon as the ball was remotely close to him, he shit himself and ran in the other direction. Had to laugh at the Clarke one, sums him up perfectly.

Why does AN keep picking the same players and expect something to change.

I fail to see how Clarke gets a 6. I understand that he shows more passion and commitment probably than all the others but for the second match running was almost solely responsible for the opposition's goal. He's playing as a defender but doesn't defend very well. Brown gets marked down because he can't score and I totally agree that he is a poor excuse of a forward but surely the defender who is responsible for the goal should be marked down.

Clarke flatters to deceive. Defensively very suspect, poor in the air, poor positioning. Decent going forward (only decent not good) and a committed player are the plus points. Overall, a very very average player and not currently good enough to be starting in this division. Sooner sterling is back the better

Bonham - Great save, reasonable positioning, still needs replacing - 6 Souttar - Not his best, but still MoM for me - 7 Wilmot - steady - 6 Fox - hit and miss, again - 5 Clarke - trying hard, needs to learn how to head a ball - 6 Thompson - Best game for a while - 6 Baker - lazy, gutless, not captain material - 1 Smallbone - tried hard, but no real impact - 5 Tymon - Not having a good spell - 5 Campbell - overweight, overrated and looking to leave - 2 Brown - shocking today, anonymous - 2
Delap - Not good enough, even at this level - 4 Powell - better, but still not up to scratch - 5 Laurent - I don't see what he adds to the team - 4

How Smallbone gets anywhere near the matchday squad is beyond me. Doesn’t run back, doesn’t tackle, doesn’t keep the ball, doesn’t create chances. He’s up there with the worst I’ve ever seen for stoke He was much better than Baker again! I'm baffled where 'much better' comes from. Name one thing he did please?

BONHAM 5 - not at fault but his decision making and distribution puts us under all sorts of unnecessary pressure. FOX 4 - needless fouls and poor distribution. Did at least try. SOUTTAR 3 - looks very slow. Dwelled on the ball, and the passing out from the back uncharacteristically wayward. WILMOTT 4 - nondescript CLARKE 5 - gives the impression of trying but he's positionally so poor he may as well not bother. BAKER 2 - abhorrent. Appeared to have found Sam Clucas' hiding place for most of the match. THOMPSON 5 - the best of an appalling bunch. Clearly limited but does at least offer some positional sense and a willingness to take the ball. SMALLBONE 4 - attempted to press at times, albeit alone, but the most nothing footballer I've seen wear this kit for a long time. TYMON 3 - his 'crossing' was almost comedic BROWN 2 - his worst game for the club? First touch is awful, his lack of any kind of intelligent movement kills the midfield too. He's going backwards at an alarming rate. CAMPBELL 3 - he did win one header I think?

Was the first player to start pressing and making it more difficult for the Preston defence. Also the one player that often steals the ball from the opposition in good areas, and he is almost always involved in the attacks where we create something as well. If people can't see this....well.....

I just repeatedly used the word 'shit'. I must try harder next time

Bonham - Absolutely fuck all to do until a great save to deny what looked a certain goal 6 Souttar - Poor passing 5 Wilmot - Poor passing 5 Fox - Poor passing 5 Clarke - At least showed a modicum of endeavour 6 Thompson - Neat and tidy, the least of todays problems 6 Baker - Absolutely fell off a cliff, needs “resting” 3 Smallbone - Average first half, dire second half 5 Tymon - Like Clarke had endevour but poor quality 5 Campbell - Seriously overrated 4 Brown - Diabolical in front of goal and generally 3 Delap - Ran around but zero impact 5 Powell - A class above and should be starting 6 Laurent - Better than Baker 5 You could probably drop a point off most of those scores in truth but I’m in generous mood. I agree Powell should be starting but let’s get it right he did nothing when he came on Well he headed the ball across goal which any striker in the world would have put in but Delap somehow managed to clear for Preston. How you can say he did nothing is crazy, he did more when he came on than the rest of the team did all game and that's being played out of position with long stupid punts upfield directed at him which is not his game at all.

If people can't see this....well..... Yeh I must have been at a different game then, I saw a bloke who got out the way of tackles, never passed forward and 'tracked back' once and only mustered a half hearted attempt at getting the ball. No one was good yesterday but for him to have stayed on the pitch for me was criminal.

Don’t get me wrong I think Powell should be starting and I think he’s a decent player and one of our best but again that’s not hard. Some on here go over the top with Powell so when I get chance to watch him I pay particular attention to him and yes he put over the ball for delap to make a tit of himself and won a few headers 🤷♀️. So what we had other chances throughout the game which Someone set up but ultimately they were shit. He did nothing to suggest he was any better than anyone else unless wearing rose tinted glasses.

Bonham [6] - Steady Game, cracking save in the second half after a long ball beat the whole defense. Souttar [5] - Average Game, does the basics well. Wilmot [5] - Average Game, ditto Fox - [5] Average Game, ditto Clarke [6] - Lots of energy, lacked the quality to unlock the defense. Can't fault the lads effort but quality is lacking. Thompson [5] - Offers nothing, rarely comes to the ball to dictate play, doesn't break up play as much as a 'destroyer' should. Replacement needed tbh. League 1 quality. Baker [5] Poor again, sitting deeper due to the ability of his fellow midfielders, missing Joe Allens energy and break up play. Smallbone [6] - Good first half, dire second half. Plays a very simple game, easy simple 5 yard passes and little toe pokes to break up the play. Not what we need for a creative number 10 / advanced midfielder. Needs more aggression to his play. Tymon [6] - Good energy, lacking quality with the final ball into the box. Most of the time goes for the easy option, wandering inside rather than getting down the side of the opposition. Campbell [5] - Don't get the hate for Campbell, we're pumping balls up into the channels and in the air for him. When Campbell gets his move to another championship team with a midfield then he will score 20+ goals a season, IMHO. Brown [4] - Lost all of his confidence in front of goal, can't hold the ball up, touch is very poor. Struggle to see what he is offering at the moment except for running.
Delap [5] - Didn't influence the game at all when came on, however aimlessly pumping balls up to the strikers is a hard challenge for any of our forwards. Not sure about the chance he had as it's not shown on the highlights and was up the other end of the pitch to where i sit. Powell [6] - Our most creative midfielder, should be starting games. Laurent [6] - Wanted to get on the ball and do something, will be a breath of fresh air once fit.
Fans[1] - 12th man? no chance, more like the 12th man for the opposition nowadays. We've become a horrible set of home 'fans' for our team. The away support however is cracking.

He was our best player when he came on which you've said as much yourself. Yes it wasn't hard to be better than our other players but he was and he should start every game but in his proper position. Why he isn't playing is beyond me and I think most fans would agree he should be playing. There's no rose tinted glasses at all, for the last few seasons when he's been playing and fit he's been by far our most creative player and biggest threat.

A poor performance from a poor, unbalanced, side. Horrendous lack of leadership on the pitch...question as to whether or not Baker should be captain, especially since, on current evidence he maybe should not even be starting. Decent effort (not ability) from Smallbone, Clarke and Thompson...with no end product, but it's a Team Game and we aren't a team at the moment. Tymon is "shoe horned" in, out of position, Powell needs to start but that would require someone like Laurent to actually step up and be the driving force we all hoped he would be. Lack of movement, lack of pace, lack of energy, poor decision making and an unbalanced side...what could possibly go wrong? The next couple of weeks need to see the Manager show his intent by bringing in the players he sees for the way he wants to play, and clearing out those who don't 'fit'. It's a big ask in a January window...bit it HAS to happen or we will be League 1 next season.

Bonham 5 - Great save but marked down for the goal - his shit kick lead to the throw in that lead to the corner. Yeah it's a few phases off it but if he boots it down pitch like he should do then that situation doesn't happen.
Clarke 3 - no composure Souttar 4 - just wasn't impressed tbh. Passing was off. Wilmot 3 - useless Fox 3 - comical Tymon 2 - shite
Thompson 2 - where for art thou Jordan? Baker 2 - where art thou Lewis? Smallbone 3 - he ran but useless
Campbell 3 Brown 3
