Your player ratings for the League 1 home game vs. Walsall:

1 Nicholls - 6 Nothing to complain about
19 Ebanks-Landell - 5 Crap challenge blighted an otherwise solid night.
5 Wootton - 6 Nothing outstanding, wish he would press forward more like Walsh
4 Walsh - 6 Solid, hardly put a foot wrong
25 Brittain - 6 Did well getting forward, but little of real quality
6 Upson - 5 Too weak, wasted passes, lacks creation
26 Gilbey - 7 Good night for the stand in skipper, recycled lots of ball
8 Cissé - 5 Looked better than of late, but still needs to do more
12 Golbourne - 5 Did ok and that's about it
10 Aneke - 7 Certainly a much better team with, looks very keen
14 Agard - 4 A shadow of a good player, bring back Seagar

Substitutes:
9 Sow - 5 Should have scored, worrying to see him limp off
21 Nesbitt - 5 Not much time to get involved, slotted into a team devoid of ideas
7 Ariyibi - no time to judge

Your MOTM - Gilbey, stepped up, others should follow suit

Robbie - 5 Does he know his best team

Ref - 8 makes a change, good ref, hardly noticed him.
Linos - As above

Us - 5 Tried to get something going, gradually had the life sucked out of them
The other lot - 3 Poor turnout, most of their singing was about sacking their manager

Read the MELTDOWN after every game, no bullshit, just giving it straight

1 Nicholls - 6 Made one good low save to divert a cross shot. Otherwise an easy evening. No chance with pen.
19 Ebanks-Landell - 5 Looked uncomfortable when caught 1 on 1 on the right side of the three. Stupid challenge for pen.
5 Wootton - 6 Solid performance. Only came out once with ball at feet and lost control so didn't repeat.
4 Walsh - 7 My M-O-M. Read the game well, great in the air and tried to make things happen by bringing the ball forward.
25 Brittain - 6 Good crosses, faded in last 30 - maybe impact of injury?
6 Upson - 6 Good first half but anonymous in 2nd.
26 Gilbey - 7 Wanted the ball all over the pitch and linked play well. His best game (that I've seen)
8 Cissé - 6 Great with ball at feet but slowed the game down too much in 2nd half.
12 Golbourne - 6 OK in flashes but woefully ignored by rest of team when in acres of space in first half.
10 Aneke - 7 Terrific first hour but faded badly. Could have done with Seager alongside as a top 2.
14 Agard - 4 He's forgotten how to play. Heavy first touch and gave many hospital passes. Looked lost.

Substitutes:
9 Sow - 5 Still not convincing. I'm waiting to see the player he's meant to be - looks like another long wait.
21 Nesbitt - 5 Baffling to put him in a central position but no obvious place in a 3-5-2
7 Ariyibi - 5 See Nesbitt comment

Your MOTM - Walsh. Good to see us using a system that plays to his strengths.

Robbie - 6 Mixed bag. System worked for a while but baffling sub choices. I can't ever see Chuks & Sow working as a front 2.

Ref - 7 Much less crap than usual. A big fan of the spray can.
Linos - 7 Seemed to keep up OK and no complaints on offsides. No real contentious decisions to make.

Us - 4 Shhhhhhhhhh
The other lot - 2 whisper whisper whisper
