He’s ok and had a good game today He’s not the quality of player you need for a promotion push, neither is Thompson. Busy summer for MON Keep reading about this promotion push. I must of watched different games this season. A comfortable top half finish would be an accomplishment after this disaster of a season,and with what we have in our squad.

He's a shockingly poor player, I think some people have become so used to him being crap that they mistake it for being average, then when he's average they mistake it for being good.

I took an interest in Cousins from the QPR match because of the way he was written off on this board before he'd even kicked a ball. From day one he looks to me like a tidy DM at this level - good engine, gets stuck in and breaks up play. He'll never catch the eye but that's the nature of his job as much as anything. Most of the bad reports about on his performances for us on here were written before the QPR game. Yes. Plenty of people didn’t appreciate Whelan until he’d gone. And Nzonzi... However my all time favourite comment on here was someone complaining that all Afellay ever did was never give the ball away,,,,

Half a yard too slow today and every second touch was fresh air. Seems a likeable fella but he's really really not very good.

See also McLean, Batth, Vokes etc. People swoon over them every time we don't get beat 5-0 but they're all very, very limited as footballers. Much, much better needed next season.

He’s a league one player.
Tries at least.

If we want to be a consistent lower leave championship level then fine keep cousins. If we have any aspirations to aim higher then get rid. Along with Thompson who when came on was absolutely woeful

Feeling the effects of a huge effort against Birmingham.
Need better and use him as cover.

Did he really do much wrong? I only watched the last half hour or so but in that time I think he gave the ball away every time he touched it.

Did he really do much wrong? Ha ha. I like him, as I've said many times but he was hopeless today. It was as if his boots were on the wrong feet. He never stopped battling, running and generally getting in the way of both our play and theirs though!

How have we ended up with such dross footballers
Butland - Biscuits Wrists can fuck off Ward - older than Time Smith - a nothing player Baath - I’ve seen milk turn quicker Chester - wank loan Bruno - wank and slow Cousins - give me fucking strength Thompson - Just what the fuck is he Ince - Fraud of footballer Gregory - wank Vokes - fat slow and pretty shit
That lot can go for me tomorrow, deadly serious

Smiths positional sense is awful for a full back and Vokes trots around at exactly the same speed whatever the importance of the occasion - today he should have but a gut and was a passenger

As said before, a limited player who is willing to dig in! I think he is a good man to have on the bench to see games out or for the occasional start, but he shouldn't be first choice.

He never stopped battling, running and generally getting in the way of both our play and theirs though! Yeah the only reason I was asking the question is because I know how often players get marked out even if they have a steady game. But from pretty much all responses tonight it seems like he was poor. Must admit I did watch the game, but obviously didn't watch it too closely.

Can't fault his effort but technically he is wanting. Does the dirty work but I get so frustrated when he wins the ball and then gives it straight back with a poorly placed pass.

Vokes started the first half pretty well but he was dead on his feet 2nd half.
He kept going and kept trying though, as did the rest of them which is very definitely a step in the right direction for this group of players. Smith was awful today as well.
As I've said elsewhere, it was a strange game because we were the better team pretty much throughout yet our game was littered by some many poor individual performances. Aside from Powell and Davies can any of them claim to have played well? Chester did better than usual as well I suppose.

Those 11 are abysmal footballers. I just hope MON has realised that shopping in Blackpool reserves, and buying over the hill centre half’s are not the way forwards. Neither is shopping in Scottish league 1!! This squad needs a major makeover or next season we will be suffering the same shit again

I must of watched different games this season. What you think you’ve watched is irrelevant. What has been produced since O’Neill took over is on average, top 8 form. If you have a manager that can get a tune out of this shower, give him a pre-season and chance to get rid of some deadwood, then there should be hope for a play off push. Much more reason for optimism (assuming we stay up) than there should have been last season having absolutely stank our way to the end of the season,

Certainly the worst of his recent performances. Willing to cut him some slack due to the fact he's played hardly any football this season.

You gotta remember he is only playing because Allen is Injured he is a squad player, like Thompson, someone for the bench

Thought he was decent defensively but is such a black hole with the ball. He just must be upgradeable.

As much as I actually dislike him, I'd keep Vokes as well so long as he isn't a regular starter. Id also keep Batth - he organised the defence today, gave lots of confidence to Davies who was very decisive most of the time He'd be good to work alongside Collins imo - who would benefit from his experience Definitely a LB needed and some competition for Smith (assuming that there is no place for Edwards.
