Re: Player Ratings

I think you’re being a bit generous to Bacuna ( it took me 30 minutes before I realised he was actually playing!) , I’d give him and Flint 2 each, the rest I more or less agree with - though it was such a poor quality game you could probably justify marking everyone down a further mark on the above and therefore Bacuna and Flint would be a one

Totally agree actually and maybe should have marked down Bagan for losing Woodrow for the second

Re: Player Ratings

Moore deserves... more. He worked his socks off. Ralls was OK, I don't even remember Bacuna touching the ball and Ng was better than a 5. I like him, he doesn't look out of place at this level at all.

Some of his play is just silly. Keeps running rtowards the channels and corner flag rather than staying centrally

He's a lone striker in a team that hits it down the channels. If he doesn't run the channel, he'll never get the ball.

Thats because the only ball Ralls can play is the percentage ball into the corners so Moore knows thats his best chance of actually getting anywhere near it - not having a go at Ralls here as even though he's having a poor season he is still by far our best midfielder.
Bacuna tonight was shocking as was Hoilett and Flint
What on earth has happened to Nelson?
Pack can pass the ball but he is too slow and needs to go to league 1 ASAP (along with Flint)
Vaulks is like Charlie Oatway or Paul Wimbleton - all hustle and bustle but no finesse

Our midfield is a mess

Agreed.

Ojo, Murphy, Ng, Baglan and Moore all did ok.

The rest were poor. Flint & Pack needs to go asap.

MM is shrewd enough to have noticed that even though we had an extra midfielder we still looked overrun. It needs addressing in this transfer window

Re: Player Ratings

Bacuna was appalling. 1.5 at best. £3m transfer 4 and a half year contract and supposedly one of the highest paid players at the club. He must have a good agent - anyone know ?

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Re: Player Ratings

So the idea that Bacuna was going to transform our midfield hasn't quite worked? Well, bugger me with a fish fork. What a surprise.

I take it your opinion of Pack was formed over longer than the fifteen seconds or so he was on the pitch last night :hehe:

As for Bacuna, I was listening to Radio Wales and they only mentioned his name once before he was taken off.

I didnt watch last night but Bacuna was almost completely anonymous last home again apart from the last 10 minutes.

Re: Player Ratings

Barnsley have played nice football this season but joined us in the sky-tennis. On that pitch, I don't think yesterday was enough to comment on whether those three deserve another go in midfield or not, especially when they did so well together last season.

They didnt do well together.

The partnership that was ok was Bacuna/Ralls with Tomlin at 10.

Something tells me Tomlin isnt going to get a sniff under Mick
