Pretty much spot on but I'd have given MVE another point.

Thought him, Rushworth, Dasilva and EMC the pick of the bunch.

*edit: that was to the OP not Regis.

Can't agree with yours mate, thought Grimes and Onyeka were off it today and never 7s

 

[Deity]

I guarantee had we taken the chances we had today most of these scores would have been higher despite the performance not changing.

It’s possible to play well and still lose.

 

[Shannerz]

Rushworth, MvE, Dasilva and EMC were all good.

Everyone else wasn't quite good enough, but not bad, either. Nobody was honking, we just fell a bit short.

 

[AOM]

Thought we played quite well overall bar 15 minutes or so in the second half.

Thought Van Ewijk, Mason-Clarke and Dasilva were good.
Rushworth really solid again, helpless for the goals.

I'm a Simms fan, but not much went for him today, and we looked poorer (last 5 minutes aside) when Wright went off.

The two centre backs struggled a bit. Woolfenden in particular looked slow

I scored Onyeka a 6, bud. Grimes.was everywhere again and a 7 for me.

Actually thought MVE was off it today. Particularly first half. Most of them had an off day

Yes, thought Wolf was really slow on the ball and had little vision to offload forward. Having said that as we had no midfielders finding space it was left to him and Kitch to run the ball forward at times.

Yeah, to be fair I think a lot of it had to do with how Southampton set up. Seemed happy to allow our centre backs to have the ball, but then gave them few options to move it around

Fair enough, all about opinions, but Grimes lost it trying to go past someone in the second half and also nearly cost us a goal when Rushworth came out and saved him with a tackle. Thought his delivery into the box was also poor.

I misread Onyeka, thought you'd given them both 7s.

 

[Warwickhunt]

They couldn't handle EMC! He had a superlative game.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Onyeka subed again, can he not last 90 minutes.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Onyeka subed again, can he not last 90 minutes.

Frank getting minutes into the other players

 

[covboy9]

Right not playing at all vs Preston wasn’t smart

thought team played ok vs a cheating team

can’t win every game no panic, only criticism is Torp should play 10 over Eccles today

 

[covboy9]

Dunno how many headers Wolf wanted to miss

 

[Great_Expectations]

I thought Grimes was off it today, to the point I was worried he wasn’t fully fit. Didn’t seem to want the ball as much and his movement was limited.

That combined with Onyeka being naturally defensive and neither BTA or Eccles being naturally creative, meant we ended up quite one dimensional.

Get the ball out wide and hope for the best.

Wolf and Kitching are a liability defensively. Wolf also forgot how to head the ball when in the oppositions box.

Rushworth, JDS, Sakamoto probably the stand outs. Thought Wright looked better than usual too.

 

[Gibbo]

Harsh on kitching who at least moved the ball out quickly. Woolfie was ball-achingly slow and you can see why Ipswich were happy to be rid of him

 

[trakia plovdiv]

Rushworth 7
MvE 6.5 a couple of excellent runs
Woolf 5.5 oppo happy to let him have the ball
Kitching 6.5 at least tried to push into space
JDS 7
Grimes 6 not at his best
Onyeka 5 always playing catch-up after first 20 mins.
Eccles 6 not at his best
Saka 7 usual workrate, but largely contained
Wright 6 bad miss
EMC 8 main threat, got little help from ref

BTA 6 ran about to little effect
Simms 5.5 better when he starts
Torp 6 still seems out of sorts
Esse 5.5 made no impact

 

[shmmeee]

Onyeka subed again, can he not last 90 minutes.

Rarely did for Brentford, did quite a bit in Germany though.

 

[Osullivan18]

Mve was a strange one today, beaten easily a couple times, many misplaced passes, but still one of our biggest attacking threats and some good moments defensively. He was consistently inconsistent.

But agree thought we played well enough to get something, maybe even win but football is taking chances, we didnt
