Phillips: 4.5 distribution is woeful. Puts us under pressure way too often Lockyer: 4 didn’t come to terms with the conditions at all Pearce: 5 lucky with the penalty claim, unlucky to be subbed ahead of Tom Sarr: 6.5 one error, but only one who looked capable of playing out from the back Matthews: 5.5 not bad first half, nothing 2nd Davis: 4.5 very poor man’s Pratley on that showing Cullen: 4.5 overrun. Not the same since the injury McGeady: 6 a few decent runs. We looked worse when he went off Doughty: 5 pace to burn, scares defenders, crossing dreadful Taylor: 5 energy as always, but nothing worked. Too many little flicks, never going to happen on a flat pitch in those conditions Hemed: 5 one “header” off his shoulder. Put in the effort, but not good enough Smith: 4 not sure how he got on ahead of anyone else, including Amos Green: 4.5 added pace, not much else Bonne: 4.5 will need more minutes to get back up to speed Referee: 4 awful
Phillips: 7 - No chance with the deflection on the first. Maybe should have attacked the second.
Lockyer: 5 made some tidy tackles but lost the ball in the air several times.
Pearce: 5 As above, but almost gifted a penalty and then blocked Sarr from getting to the man that scored their second.
Sarr: 6.5 made some great tackles, intercepted a few passes and was strong in the air. Put Doughty under undue pressure several times.
Matthews: 5 not as good as midweek.
Davis: 4 Pratley, he ain't.
Cullen: 6 worked hard buts still a yard behind the game since returning. So close to scoring but for a wonder save.
McGeady: 6 made things happen with the ball, shame no one was on the same wavelength.
Doughty: 5. Needs a rest.
Taylor: 6.5 best player in red. Just needs to be more selfish in front of goal and make decisions faster when pulled out to the wings. Needs to remember he can't do it all himself.
Hemed: 5 runs around a lot, a couple of good shots and a few poor decisions.
Smith: 4 hate to mark a youngster so low but honestly only noticed he was playing around 70mins.
Green: 5 added an option for us to ignore.
Bonne: 5 added an option to support Taylor physically.
Phillips: 6 - Not up to usual standard. Lockyer: 5 - As above Pearce: 5 - As Above Sarr: 6.5 - our best player but that's not saying a lot. Matthews: 5 - Seen him play much better. Davis: 6 - Give him the benefit of the doubt first time I've seen him play for us Cullen: 6 - always tries, good effort in 2nd half, but seen him much better. McGeady: - 5.5 Some decent touches but no Jonny Williams. Doughty: - 6 Not his best game. Taylor: - 6 As above. Hemed: - 5 Not the answer to a striker Smith: - 4 Sorry just not a championship player imo offers nothing! Green: - 5 too late to offer anything Bonne: - 5 As above. Referee: 3 one of the worst that I have seen this season some piss poor decisions for both sides, doesn't recognise a decent tackle if he sees one!
Phillips: 6 Lockyer: 5 awful first half, steadier in the second Pearce: 5 Sarr: 7 the best CB again Matthews: 6 Davis: 6 Cullen: 6 McGeady: 5 Doughty: 5 no end product Taylor: 5.5 not his day Hemed: 5 one good bit of play early on, otherwise ineffective Smith: 5 not been impressed so far, you can see why QPR hardly played him Green: 4.5 ineffective sub appearance Bonne: 5 barely touched the ball when he came on Referee: 4
Phillips: 6 Did OK, no real chance with the goals Lockyer: 5.5 Not his best performance Pearce: 5 Lucky not to concede a pen Sarr: 7 MOM Best of a mediocre bunch Matthews: 6.5 Thought he did OK Davis: 5 Jury still out but didn't impress today Cullen: 6.5 Usual steady performance McGeady: 6.5 Some nice touches, hopefully more to come Doughty: 6 Got into decent positions but still lacks end product Taylor: 6 Quietish game for him Hemed: 4 Not good enough to warrant a first team place Smith: 6 Showed some promise Green: 6 Bonne: 6 Referee: 5
Phillips: 6 didn’t do anything wrong Lockyer: 4 depth perception non existent, can you please work out where it’s gonna bounce? Pearce: 7.5 absolute tank, made up for everyone’s mistake first half Sarr: 6 from the submime outside of the foot through ball to doughty to the crap of slips and giving the ball away Matthews: 6.5 good but provided no width Davis: 5 eh, the ball got stuck in his feet Cullen: 6.5 a silent workhorse McGeady: 5 who dis? Didn’t notice him at all Doughty: 5.5 tried to put everything through him but he just couldn’t do it. Not his fault. Only player who provided width. Taylor: 6 poorest game I’ve see from him, no energy. Hemed: 5 see McGeady, who dis? Smith: 5 Green: 5 Bonne: 6 Referee: 4 plus one for their assist
Phillips: 6 No chance with the goals Lockyer: 5 Pearce: 5 Sarr: 7 needed him up top last 15 mins Matthews: 7 Davis: 5.5 Cullen: 6 Unlucky not to score. Worldie save. McGeady: 6 but tired Doughty: 5.5 Taylor: 5.5 Hemed: 5 Unlucky not to score though Smith: 5 Green: 6.5 Bonne: 5 didn’t notice him that much Referee: 4 Terrible decision for the free kick that led to their second. He must have realised by the reaction of the crowd.
Watching on Valley Pass in Cyprus... which gets a rating of - minus 10 for making me listen to 40mins of the Blackburn Rover commentary team.
Phillips: 6 Not much to do except pick ball out of the net. Kicking is getting worse? Lockyer: 5 Poor performance. Had a mare first half no communication with Pearcey looked all over the place. Second half why he kept getting the ball to 'launch' chips and bad passes forward will never know Pearce: 5.5 Slightly better than Lockyer was Sarr: 6.5 Confidence is high and he is playing better each game. Matthews: 6 Solid enough kept up well with Armstrong Davis: 4 Take back all the good things I said about him after Forest... Get Pratley back Cullen: 6.5 Does everything you want simply put but needs someone in the middle with him. McGeady: 6 Impressed with him but unfortunately the fitness meant he was never going to last 90 mins... felt he was only player who could open it up so bit disappointed he was hooked... and not at least replaced with Oz. Doughty: 6.5 The boy puts in a shift every game hopefully he can keep improving. Taylor: 6 Not his best game, unlucky not to score with the header and free kicks but apart from that struggled. Hemed: 4 One step forward in the Forest game, Two steps back today
Smith: 5 Solid enough but couldn't really improve us. Green: 3 Dreadful performance might as well had stayed in the bench and let Oz come on instead. Bonne: 4 Very poor pass at one point, and kept dropping deep to get the ball (Doesn't have the ability for that) and losing it
Referee: 5 Solid enough but felt Lenihan should have been booked earlier before that challenge on Mcgeady
Phillips: 6 Can’t blame him for the two goals Lockyer: 6 Not his best game Pearce: 5.5 Ditto Sarr: 7 Best of the three centre backs on the day Matthews: 6.5 Still think he is a big improvement over Solly. Brings a got to the team going forward. Davis: 5.5 I thought this guy was meant to be a great tackler with good energy? Cullen: 6.5 Still off the pace compared to pre-injury McGeady: 6.0 A few nice touches but that’s it. Should have closed down the scorer of first goal. Doughty: 5.5 Lots of effort but gets bullied when defending and not enough end product going forward Taylor: 6.5 Tried but nothing came off Hemed: 4 Afraid it’s just not working. Would have subbed him at half time. Smith: 5.5 Didn’t see a great deal for him. Green: 6 Hope he starts next game. Bonne: 5.5 Not enough time on the pitch to influence the game. Referee: 4 I appreciate you can’t tackle by kicking a player’s legs but apparently you now cannot hook your leg around and nick the ball if the opposition fall over your leg.
Phillips: 6 Lockyer: 6 Pearce: 4 very lucky to get away with penalty and missed 4 or 5 balls Sarr: 7 Matthews: 3 - Not a wing back, don' t get forward enough and when he does he never busys a gut to get back. Davis 3 -waste of time gives the ball away and justs tries to foul peaple Cullen: 6 McGeady: 5 - not really sure of his strenghs Doughty: 6 needs to work on delivery Taylor: 5.5 - Not his best day but still better than the other forwards Hemed: 4 - never seems to do much Smith: 5 - a few good touhes Green: 5 Bonne: 5.5
