LS: A rocky start, that's all it is.

1 Nicholls - 7, controlled his box well, made some good saves. Maybe could have done better with first.
2 Williams - 7 Looked solid but his best position seems to be CB.
19 Ebanks-Landell - 7, MOTM.
5 Wootton - 5
3 Lewington - 5, did well but looks so past his best. Very sad. Nice to see him play mind and can still do a job.
6 Upson - 5, looked isolated with Tish missing.
20 Tshibola - N/A. Nothing said.
26 Gilbey - 5, same as Ed.
14 Agard - 3, what's happened to him?
7 Ariyibi - 6, definitely improving with every game.
9 Sow - 5, anonymous most of the game but looked good when called into action.

Substitutes:
10 Aneke 6 - Good game, nice to have the big man back.
16 Muirhead 5 - Need to shoot more often, and then try hit the target when he does. Much more promising though.
21 Nesbitt 5 - Needs more gametime and less fancy footwork.

Your MOTM - EEL

Robbie - 5, game plan ruined by one silly mistake.

Ref - 3, completely lost control.
Linos - 3, as above.

Us - 5, some noise from the Cowshed.
The other lot - 6 good numbers but they were all sat down

1 Nicholls - 4.5 (His worst game for us this season, should have saved the second goal).
2 Williams - 6.5 (one of only a handful that put a shift in, didn't make too many errors)
19 Ebanks-Landell -6.5 (likewise, looked up for it and scored)
5 Wootton - 5.5 (fairly anonymous, caught out quite a bit in his position)
3 Lewington - 4.5 (showing why he shouldn't be first choice LB. Too slow, caught out several times)
6 Upson - 5 (had a bit of fight in the second half, but too slow reacting and didn't press enough)
20 Tshibola - 2 (his time is up, awful, inexperience showed and had us on the back foot early)
26 Gilbey - 5.5 (did more than others)
14 Agard - 4.5 (very anonymous, didn't contribute anything, rightly subbed)
7 Ariyibi - 6 (Looked eager, tried to build attacks, not enough support.)
9 Sow - 6.5 (along with Williams and EEL probably our best player, just didn't have the support).

Substitutes:
10 Aneke - 6 (did the best he could by himself and with little/no service)
16 Muirhead - 5.5 (cracked a decent shot off, but didn't really get enough of a chance to impress)
21 Nesbitt - 5.5 (looked lively and involved in a good bit of play, but not on long enough to impress)

Your MOTM - Williams (looked fairly composed in his role, let down by the rest of our defence)

Robbie - 6 (Blamed Tshibola, so got that right.)

Ref - 3.5 (Several incorrect decisions, unbalanced the game.)
Linos - 3.5 (As above. Two dubious offside goals.)

Us - 5 (bit of noise in second half, but nothing unusual)
The other lot - 5 (bit noisy at times, but expected a bit more from them)

1 Nicholls - 7 Good shot-stopper. Calls early and loud, which makes it easier for his defenders. Bollocks them when needed too. He's going to be pretty good long term, I reckon,
2 Williams - 7 Disagree with Filthy. He's a better full back than CB. Played OK today, in the circumstances.
19 Ebanks-Landell - 6.5 OK. Well taken goal.
5 Wootton - 5 I worry about his decision making (more on this in another post at another time)
3 Lewington - 5 He's really slowed up. But tackling, heading and reading of the game is still better than most. Near the end of his time I guess. But fuckwits who boo him or whatever WILL be tracked down and 'disappeared'.
6 Upson - 6 Curate's egg.
20 Tshibola - No score - too little time to assess. Poor lad. It's not going well for him.
26 Gilbey - 6 Curate's egg. But overall, I like him.
14 Agard - 6.5 Tried hard. Points for effort, if nothing else.
7 Ariyibi - 7 He's going to be some player. A few moments of real talent today. And some inexperience. Overall, a pleasure to get to watch his development.
9 Sow - 6 He didn't get the breaks today. But I like him.

Substitutes:
10 Aneke - 7 Far better than L1
16 Muirhead - 6 A cameo but better than his normal fare.
21 Nesbitt - 6 A cameo, Huffed and puffed to little effect. But he's going to be one we remember fondly.

Your MOTM - George

Robbie - 6

Ref - 2 piss poor
Linos - 4 shite

Us - 5 Better than I expected, given the situation
The other lot - 6 good at times. Expected more though
