Time to put some respect on Lati’s name. He’s 4th choice and very rarely lets us down.

 

[Nick]

Brau did very well. That bit of skill as well!!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Brau did very well. That bit of skill as well!!

Agreed really liked what I saw from him on the ball, decent in the air. His positional sense is why I imagine he has been left out so far.

 

[PVA]

Rushworth 8
Van Ewijk 6 - looked like he was still ill
Woolfenden 7
Latibeudiere 8 - brilliant effort for a first appearance of the season
DaSilva 5 - was playing really well, stupid tackle
Grimes 7
Eccles 7
Torp 6 - looked like he was ill as well
Mason-Clark 7 - great header
Rudoni 6
Wright 6

Bidwell 7
Kelser-Hayden 6

Brau - 10 and MOTM for that bit of skill

 

[skybluecam]

Brau did very well. That bit of skill as well!!

I’d start him on Boxing Day. Suits our style much better than bidders

Wright 5
Rudoni 5

Dasilva was much better than MVE apart from the sending off. Because we had to defend it showed up that it is not MVE strongest point. Lati deserves an 8 too. I thought Rudoni was no worse than Torp.

Subs all did well especially Brau and KHH.. We kept our shape well second half and Southampton ran out of ideas

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If we don't expect to defend a lot I totally agree. He looks quite fluid on the ball and will help us balance wise a lot more than Bidwell would (although I think Bidwell did ok today!)

 

[Garlana86]

Brau was great, he deserves a go with JDS out.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Not sure Wright was that bad. Had literally nothing to feed on. I thought we carried Torp who may be ill. Then backs to the wall and we held out. Gritty.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Rushworth, Lati and Woolf stand outs.

EMC a constant threat.

Wright poor, especially physically.

Rudi still playing himself into form.

 

[shmmeee]

Nothing annoys me more than the sight of Haji Wright sitting on the floor looking at the ref like a kid who dropped their ice cream cone.

 

[TomRad85]

Nothing annoys me more than the sight of Haji Wright sitting on the floor looking at the ref like a kid who dropped their ice cream cone.

Sometimes he's one of my favourite players, other times he makes me want to rip every single hair from my head.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Rushworth 7.5 - distribution continues to let us down

MVE - 7

Rudi - 6
Eccles - 7
EMC - 8

[Shannerz]

Dasilva was much better than MVE apart from the sending off. Because we had to defend it showed up that it is not MVE strongest point.

That was an exceptionally difficult opponent he was playing against. As good at running with the ball as any in the division, I'd say.

Dasilva had a very good first half, but that was a spectacularly brainless moment he had, and in effect cost us any chance at getting the win.

Lati blocked and headed everything, he was excellent. EMC excellent until he was taken off. Wright was poor. Rushworth is the business, we absolutely have t sign him if we go up, some of those corners they were putting in at the end were exceptional, but he dealt with them all.

 

[larry_david]

Think frank made a mistake taking Eccles off instead of torp. However, good point.

Noted mve and torp both coughing when they went off

 

[Hobo]

I'll take back some of the criticism of MVE today as he is ill.

 

[covcity4life]

Rushworth Woolf and lati all did great

Not having rudoni on a 5. He's still coming back from injury and just worked his ass off especially second half. Get off this back

Wright could have done better but were unbeaten since he came back and he could easily have had more goals or won penalties etc

 

[skyblueelephant76]

He should have taken Rudoni off,

Totally agree better option than Bidwell

Really difficult to score. Wolf and Lati did really well in the second half. But it sometimes easier when you only have to concentrate defending the 6 yard box. I'm not sure they would have scored so highly has it remained 11v11 and the game more open.

I know it's a low score for Rudoni, he worked his arse off but the quality was way off. He was even struggling to control the ball at some points in the second half, and when he would be taking some pressure off us he just gave away easy turnovers.

 

[fernandopartridge]

It isn't the game for Wright playing against a team who sat as deep as Southampton did.

Well they gave Southampton very little in the first half as well. Not that it is relevant at all to the ratings thread based on the actual rather than hypothetical match that took place.

Re the above we will never know. But what we do know is Lati and Wolfenden were really solid in both halves. They also did it for a 100 minutes. You couldn't ask for more from them today..

Can’t fault anyone after da silva off. Top marks all round. Considering Milan looked like he was throwing up as he left pitch and Torp looked like he still suffering with it. Excellent spirit and togetherness from whole squad

 

[Milan's hair dye]

I think Mason-clark had a load of vapo-rub on his shirt too, I suspect a lot of them arent 100%.

Jay done the old Ruddock and will have a fab Xmas and New Year

I don't usually suffer too much with cold and flu but the bout I've had this week has been worse than I've had for years, with some strange different symptoms.
