Elliot -6- mistake for second goal, but distribution was excellent and he did everything else well Richardson -6- not bad, but still keeps running into trouble on a regular basis Dailly -8- commanding performance, and brought the ball out of defence and used it well Llera -8- same as above Jackson -6.5- good in attack, constantly caught out in defence Sam -4- poor game Racon -8- good range of passing from a good player Bailey -7.5- run himself into the ground and tried to get us going- wish he wouldnt carelessly give away possesion in a dangerous area once a game Reid -3- failed to beat his man once and failed to get over a decent cross once Burton -7- didnt really have enough time to influence the game Mooney -4- played well in terms of link up play, but missed our best chances to score which, after all, is the point of a striker A Sodje - 5- missed chances as well
i know some will say i have been to generous, but we played well, and if our wingers could cross or our strikers could strike we would have won. keep the faith!
Elliot - 6
Richardson - 5.5
Dailly - 6 - Ok but still not convincing and quite as solid as he was.
Llera - 7 - Good game again, probably not quite as good as Saturday though.
Jackson - 6
Sam - 5 - Poor game, needs to be given the ball more, but seemed to lack energy and he's not a particularly energetic player in the first place.
Racon - 5 - Should have scored, would have made it a different game. Again goes a bit unnoticed when he doesn't have the ball. Not worth playing in a 4 man midfield as it means Bailey is far too deep.
Bailey - 5 - Passing poor again, should have sorted that out by now. Down to him trying too hard I think, he was seeing passes but hasn't got the ability to pull them off. Not his fault he had to play deep to accommodate Racon though.
Reid - 5 - As said he didn't hide, but his decision making, crossing and shooting was awful. Much more involved than Sam, but if Sam was given the ball that much, I doubt he'd make that many mistakes.
Burton - 5 - From what I remember wasn't doing too well, though we missed him.
Mooney - 5 - Like Reid and Bailey, was desperate to create something, but just didn't have the ability to pull it off, or made the wrong decision.
A Sodje - 5 - Scored, just about, but the usual frustrating moments.
Going 1-0 down made all the difference. We can't break down teams defending a lead without a bit of luck. We either see passes and moves but don't have the ability to get them right, or we get crowded out and don't know what to do.
as an addition to my above post- i must have not seen racon's miss because i sure dont remember it. consider my rating of him as an 8 to ignore said miss!
Elliot - 6 Rooted to his line when facing 1-on-1. Could command his box better, don't we have a coach to work with him?
Richardson - 5 It's his defensive positional play that worries me
Dailly - 6 Still doing all the right things - but visibly slowing down game by game
Llera - 7 Lack of pace and turned too easily, but whole hearted spirit goes a long way to compensate
Jackson - 6 Plenty of intelligent play going forward but get's caught out a little too easily too often defensively
Sam - 6 First half did quite well in posession, lacked support and movement from players around him.
........... No service, no Sam.
Racon - 5 No real movement off the ball; gives the pass and stops to admire his handiwork, rather than show again
Bailey - 5 Where's our Nicky gone? Huff and puff around our back 4; can't pass, holds onto the ball too long,no leadership
Reid - 4 No composure on the ball and no understanding to turn pitch conditions to his advantage
Burton - 5 Missed him totally when he limped off; afterwards, the only time the ball stuck up front, was in the mud.
Mooney - 5 Let's be kind, he never went missing - but too lightweight, couldn't stand up and scared of the big lump CB
A Sodje - 6 No touch, no brain - but fantastic attitude, brave and won most of his headers. Persistance got him his goal.
Pitch: Worst condition I've seen, since return to The Valley. If Brighton could work out how to play on it, why couldn't we?
Manager: He's got to find hungry players in the squad - why not ask Mr Shelvey and Mr Wagstaff? And fill up centre mid.
Elliot -5 Got lucky with the one that was disallowed and didn't get close to the two goals
Richardson - 6 Not too bad
Dailly - 5 Getting caught too much at the moment
Llera - 6 Struggled against a passing team that didn't play to his strengths
Jackson - 5 Terrible set pieces, not very good in defence
Sam - 5 Kept drifting inside again. Another bad day at the office.
Racon - 6 Kept trying to make it happen, but a terrible miss and a lot of mistakes
Bailey - 5 Worked very hard, but some horrible, basic misplaced passes.
Reid - 4.5 lacked targets in the box, to be fair, but ignored that and just hammered the ball around randomly.
Burton - 4.5 Looked totally off the pace
Mooney - 5 touch let him down
A Sodje- 5 Lots of huff and puff, but no touch
McKenzie - 7 - I know he didn't play long enough to qualify for a rating, but he probably put more effort into his cameo appearance than the rest of the entire team managed collectively throughout the game
Elliot - 5 - Average keeper in this league Richardson - 6 - At least tried to drive us forward which is more than can be said for those in front of him Dailly - 4.5 Becoming weaker by the game Llera - 6.5 - My Charlton MOM Jackson - 5 - Defensively suspect and the forward forays died early in the game Sam - 5 - Not on his game but still drew double defending Racon - 3 - Too weak to play in a 2 man midfield with Bailey Bailey - 3 - Bailey moving inside (442) has been a disaster. His passing is shocking, his positional disciple is non existent. Don't rate his fitness either. If Parky has any balls he'd drop him for that display. Reid - 4 -Tried to do too much on his own. When it didn't come off he disappeared Burton - 5 - Going to miss him Mooney - 6 - By dropping off he allowed us to play to feet and gave the midfield options. Too bad our playmakers were so ineffective. A Sodje - 5 - Carthorse
