The Ref minus 1

I agree that Hoilett and Whyte were poor but cannot think what Bacuna did well to warrant a 6

For that matter the same goes for Paterson.
Not his fault he came on for Ward but surely a poor decision by a Harris when you have a natural striker on the bench

Considering Paterson isn't a "natural" striker, he's done better over the last couple of seasons than virtually all of our natural strikers.

As someone pointed out on Call Rob last night, Chris Sutton was a centre back when he started out, then formed one of the best strike partnerships in Premier League history.
