Murphy 7 - Didnt have much to do made a good save in 2nd half

Clarke 7 - Couple of decent tackles, looked a bit more confident on the ball today

Keogh 7 - Solid as always, confident with ball

Cameron 8 - Some great crunching tackles on Marlon

Craine 7 - Another decent game

Mcsheffrey 7 - Wasn't in the game loads, but a couple of runs and a good goal

Norwood 7 - Again, another good performance. Also a delightful lob over Myhill that came so close to a goal

Clingan 6 - Bit disappointing, still prefer Deegan to him

Baker 8 - Looked especially confident running at defenders and causing there defenders some problems

Nimely 7.5 - Always adds a touch of class to the side, gave 110% for whole 90mins

McDonald 6 - Wasn't in the game much

Platt 7 - Did a job for us when he came on

Thomas 5 - Bit disappointed with his rather lackluster minutes he played

M.O.T.M
Baker - Taken a lot of stick from fans recently, and he's picked himself up well

Murphy-7-Good saves and handling, could do nothing about the goal
Clarke-6-Did ok but dived in a few times on the Brum winger
Cameron-8-Played King very well but I feel at times he got caught up too much in getting the better of King rather than covering other dangers.
Keogh-7-Again was excellent
Cranie-7-Defended very well vs Burke but offers little attacking
Baker-8-Kicked on from his performance vs Palace and with greatly improved crossing. Assisted goal
Norwood and Sammy-7-Controlled the midfield for periods of the time, sometimes too deep though
Mcsheff-7-Great header for the goal, constant threat
Nimely-7-Not great but can see the quality he possesses, obviously carrying an injury
Mcdonald-6-Didn't get much service first half, injured going for a brave header

Platt-7-Gave us an outlet ball, a target to hit and move us forward up the pitch


First half was pretty poor from both sides, King didn't look interested and neither keeper had anything to do. I would say we maybe just shaded it first half, second half Brum came out strong for the first 20 mins and I feared they may run away 2/3-0. We were attacking on the break and scored a great goal through Mcsheff, we needed to keep it tight for 5-10 mins to take the sting out of Brum and was very disappointed to concede after we had worked so hard to take the lead. After the equaliser we finished the better of the 2 teams and on another day would have won it. Decent performance and a fair result.

Next 4 games
Watford A
Cardiff A
Pompy H
Hull A

Look tough, if after these set of games we are 1-3 points from safety we can push on in April with Peterborough, Donny, Milwall, Bristol all to play in the month of April. Would be great if we could pick up our first away win but I think 4-5 points from these games will keep us on the tails of the relegation pack.

You really thought Clingan was so bad he didn't even deserve to have his name listed?


He was pants though. Garry Thompson got it spot on about him. Every pass seems to be telegraphed, sideways or backwards.

Murphy 7
Made a decent save 2nd half, overall solid.

Clarke- 7
Struggled against townsend(who is one for the future) but his overall play was very good.

Keogh 7.5
Again very good, needs more communication with cameron!!!!

Cameron 8
Far better than saturday, still dodgy but won everything in the air and gave king a very hard time!
King was scared!

Craine 7
Again decent performance.

Mchseff 7.5
One of his better performances today.
Took his goal brilliantly!

Clingan 7
Decent performance, one of his better ones.

Norwood-8 pure class, some of his passing is out of this world!

Baker 9- MOTM
Following his great performance tuesday, he followed up with a brilliant performance.
Battled for everything, beat every man, put in some good balls, and his passing was good.
Well done bakes!

Cody 7- average performance, looked lively.

Nimely-7.5 what a fantastic work ethic this kid has! Never gives up, battles for everything in the air also.
Pure class!

Subs

Platt-7.5 changed the game IMO, key man.

Thomas 5, poor comeback, struggled out wide.

 

[torchomatic]

Clingan was poor again today, wasn't he? I was saying to my Dad that at one time it was pretty devastating if wasn't in the team, now it's the other way round.

I said Norwood and Sammy under the same line in my post

 

[SkyBlue]

Why the low scores for McDonald? He showed great turn of pace and awareness, looked to attack and looked alot sharper than previously. 7 for him

You watched a different game to me matey.
Loose passes, no pace and very little awareness of his strike partner.


All the best
