More dropped points at home, but we need to have a bit of perspective. We're still in the top half of the table, which had you offered me at the start of the year I'd have snapped your hand off, West Ham and Wolves look absolutely abysmal and are already starting to get cut adrift, and our points total for this time of the year for a team only realistically looking to stay up, is pretty good. We're half way to 36 points which will probably keep us up. Anything above 20 points at christmas is fantastic for a newly promoted team and I believe we'll pick up a few more wins before christmas no problem.

 

Its also a testament to how much we've improved that we know damn well we would have lost that game a few years ago. The defence held firm and we had a few decent chances. Not a great performance but far from our worst.

 

1 defeat in 5 games. Still a good spell, onwards and upwards! :)

 

Shhh man. Sensible non knee jerk shite is not allowed post match.

Krul - 8 Solid

 

Enrique - 8 Made Johnson and Kelly look very ordinary when challenged. Didn't create much up front as he would of liked.

Willo - 7.5 Good game

Colo - 7.5 Same as above and passing was tidy as always

Simpson 7.5 Getting forward alot which has been good. Delivery needs some work though.

 

Jonas 7.5 Ran well with some great attacking forays into opposition half. Some good crosses too but some duds as well. Not a consistent crosser of the ball and he can't shoot.

Tiote 7 Normal service resumes. Should definitely stay back on attacks though.

Nolan 5.5 Yes he actually played... Blocked Carrolls goal bound shot. Hopeless shooter from outside the box and just can't run enough.

Guthrie 8 Some quality crosses/ set plays today. Don't think we missed Barton at all today

 

Carroll 8.5 I know he didn't score today but that could have been the best i've seen him play. Contributed so much in his presence and the way he held up the ball was Viduka like and challenged Schwarzer a few times. Deserved a goal.

Lovenkrands 6 Is quick and can do some clever runs so will get opportunities but not a natural finisher or good on the ball Wasted some great crosses from Guthrie. Shola would have scored ;)

 

Ranger. 6 Looked lazy out there to me. Needs to be loaned out.

Routledge 6 was brought on too late and had no time to make a impact.

 

Hughton 8 I along with others were peeved with guthrie starting ahead of wayne but he got that right today. Subs were 10 minutes late. Nolan should also have come off

Just got back in, WE REALLY need to get another decent striker to play alongside Carroll in January. Need to send Ranger to a CCC side where he has to play week-in week-out.

 

Lovenkrands and Guthrie = Championship players, Loven does nothing but run around chasing players and closing them in.

What was wrong with Guthrie today? put in some peach crosses that deserved better from Lovenkrands. Not a right winger obviously and didn't run at anyone. But alot of our best chances were off his passes.

Williamson was a little shaky early in the first, but recovered well. Hell of a tackle at the Gallowgate.

 

Brilliant recovery tackle. Thought he was going to be poor today as he looked to be lacking confidence early on but picked up as the game went on culminating in that tackle.
