Amos - 4 Couldn't kick, seemed to panic and the last goal just says everything Elmo - 7 Good going down the wings and always wanted to get into the box Bruce 5 - Ok until he came off injured Faye 6 - Made a few mistakes and his lack of pace is starting to be a problem McShame 7 - Ok, nothing special but for his standards amazing. Dudgeon 8 - Always making runs but looked scared to shoot or cross. Olofinjana 9- Amazing, bossed midfield. I hope Barmby was watching to see what he was missing there. Koren 0- If I could go into negative numbers, then I would. He was abysmal. The only thing he did all game was give away the free kick for the last goal. If he plays next match never mind be captain, then there is something wrong. Quinn 9- No matter what happens, he just seems to try and try and try. He was also very good going forward and took his goal rather well. Aluko 8- His goal was amazing, the swerve on that. He also looked very good with some great skills. Simpson 7- He played well given the circumstances provided to him. I'm sorry but getting the ball up and into him is no good, he isn't tall nor is he strong. If we wanted to do that, then surely Proschwitz would have been the better option? Rant over, Koren you are safe.
I think you are being too generous with some scores. I mean 4 for Amos? He's a glove wearing liability.
I think Simpson is absolutely top at holding up the ball and his strength and pace is what I have been most impressed with.
Mine would be Amos - 3 Couldn't kick, seemed nervous... another Gulasci? Elmo - 7 - Tried his hardest down the wing and in my eyes looked quality last night Brucey - 6 - Couldn't fault him; may have been iffy for the first goal but other than that was brilliant. Shame he went off Faye - 6.5 - Two bad errors; but the rest of the game was class. Shame McShame - 6.5 - Everyone seems to be loving him; but he was as bad as he was good in my eyes. Dudgeon - 9 - Brilliant. £300,000 well spent. How Dawson got ahead of him last year is beyond me. Oli - 9 - Bossed midfield, exactly what we've needed from him! Koren - 7 - Harsh giving him a 0... he worked hard and some of the play from him was terrific. Not captain material though IMO. Quinn - 9 - Same as Dudgeon. My mate whos an SUFC fan said "He's a hell of a player"... can't disagree Aluko - 8 - Yes. Getting better each game and that goal... terrific. Simpson - 8 - Agree with what you say but was definitely a hand ful Rosie deserves a 7/8 for doing well when he came on... but WHY bring McLean on instead of Big Nick? It was PAINFULLY obvious that they were playing two 6"4 centre backs so bringing on a 5"4 lad isn't going to help!
