Don’t see how you can give NML a 7 and Reid an 8. Bit generous

I don’t think Bennett was bad but he made a few errors, Reid was our standout performer I thought, looked good on the ball when running at them.

Bamba was absolutely terrible, a midfielder he is not so can't really hold it against him, however such is the need to have a ball playing CB in the prem, I would go with Morrison and Manga next week, and drop Sol. :frown:

Thought Hoilett was poor today. Bamba needs to play alongside Morrison and I think Arter, Ken and even Gunnarsson will make a difference (can’t speak of Camarasa yet)

Didn't read other peoples, as I didn't want to sway my opinion.

Overall I thought we did ok and 2-0 flattered B`mouth, but they were quicker to the ball and decisive with their goals.
I know with the right starting eleven and a few more games under our belts we will improve, but we know we are up against it this season.

Mike
Thanks for adding this to the sticky list.
Hopefully only those who attend the games were or watch the whole match on TV will submit ratings.

I have to agree with that. I actually felt sorry for him as he looked quite uncomfortable there but I suspect is the sort of player who will play wherever he is asked to.

I also thought that Peltier was really poor (he didn’t look fit he was so far off the pace!)

No shame in saying we found out it's a step up. I expect us to be a bit more competitive the next week and same again the week after.

Bamba in my opinion will be far more useful against the bigger teams. The teams we will be looking to try and take points from this season, I think he'll be more of a hindrance. Not the biggest fan of Peltier, but that yellow cost him the entire game. Not sure Richards is a better option really.

Ffs Mike stop changing your mind :biggrin:
Joking aside am I the only one who thought manga did well and Morrison was disappointing? Hopefully after today Warnock never plays Bamba in midfield again and Paterson for that matter either play him full back or off the bench as a utility forward, liked the look of Reid when he actually had the chance to do something, Murphy must start ralls played well didn't lookout of place but there's simply to much for him to do next week must be Viktor, ralls and arter in midfield with Reid, Murphy and hoillet the front 3 and jazz in for peltier
