another poor game where we barely create a chance and continually give the ball to the opposition. I would love to know what they are being coached. 
they showed grief moments of good football playing through, only marginal offsides stopped them. Why go back to lumping the ball forward. 🙁

Certainly a few of us mourning the passing

1Wildsmith - 6 - average

24Nyambe - 7 - missed him, strong defensively - would we have conceded with him on the pitch?

2Wilson - 5 - poor defending for their goal

5Bradley - 6.5 - solid

35Nelson - 7 - consistent, just pips it

23Ward - 7 - great energy, looking like he's found his feet

7Barkhuizen - 6 - average

32Adams - 7.5 - MOM again, breaking up the play to allow Bird and Hourihane to kick on, seemed to be everywhere

16Thompson - 5.5 - schoolboy dive in for their goal

4Hourihane - 6 - average

8Bird - 6.5 - average for the game up until his goal, then kicked on

17Sibley - 6.5 - doing enough defensively

20Elder - 6 - average

11Méndez-Laing - 6.5 - lively second half

9Collins - 6.5 as usual, didnt stop running, but again (broken record) no service...

⁹1Wildsmith 6.5 I instantly felt more comfortable with him back in.

24Nyambe  6.5 Solid enough.

2Wilson  6  Poor defending for the goal, but was so good thereafter going forward.

5Bradley 6.5 Showed a bit more strength, won plenty of headers.   Him or Nelson should have been out to challenge the goal scorer.

35Nelson 7 once moved away from lcb was his usual Imperious self. Apart from the goal. Wins so many headers. A few aimless long balls.

23Ward 6 couple of decent balls in.

7Barkhuizen Part of the increased threat in 2nd half.  That sliced shot seemed purely about not trusting his left foot.  

32Adams 6.5 Tough and determined. Got fouled  so many times.

16Thompson 6 usual scampering cameo.

4Hourihane 6.5 Great free kick which was well saved, some decent dead balls generally.

8Bird 7  Really nice first time finish and tried to create.  

17Sibley 6  poor first half. As the lwb did not beat his man or get a cross in.

20Elder 6 no time to make any kind of impression.

11Méndez-Laing 7 Struggled first half ( apart from a good shot after making himself space) as did the whole team, as the formation seemed to stifle us. 2nd half looked threatening beating his man and getting crosses in.

9Collins  5  Very little service. Usual effort. Caught offside several times, although I haven't seen if this was fair and refereeing seemed very poor.

1Wildsmith   6.5    Punched and caught well, but for me could've done better for the goal, even though there was a clear offside offence.

24Nyambe    7      Solid - please stay fit Ryan

2Wilson    6  Careless for the offside goal, did his best though to create a winner. A crowd pleaser.

5Bradley   6.5   Did alright for me - couple of 1st half glitches, but played the ball around confidently. Should have had a penalty.

35Nelson  7   Generally solid, a bit in no man's land for the offside goal though, but unlucky with late header.

23Ward    6 Was doing OK, created a decent half-chance for Collins, unlucky to be sacrificed for the change of system.

7Barkhuizen  6.5  Always seems a bit lightweight, but added some creativity when we needed a winner.

32Adams  7.5  Did everything his role requires and did it well. Please stay fit Ebou.

16Thompson  6  Added some late energy, but couldn't affect the outcome.

4Hourihane   5  Brought too little to the game to justify his place once more. Was probably only kept on for his "worldie" potential.

8Bird   7   Struggled with the aerial ping-pong in midfield 1st half, considerably better 2nd half

17Sibley   5.5   Unusually hesitant on the ball and got caught in possession a few times. Struggled to make an impact.

20Elder  6  I would have picked him for his height alone in this one. Should have blistered the ref's ear about being blocked on the line.

11Méndez-Laing   7  Like most, picked up the effort 2nd half and deserved to be on the winning side. Please stay fit etc

9Collins   5.5 I'd love a better camera angle on those offsides as a couple looked marginal at best, but he should have learned after the 1st couple. Struggled for service otherwise.
