    It's just an opinion.

    We were robbed by the ref for most f the match.
    Davis MOTM
    De Ridder did ok, but became predictable in my opinion.
    Guly was running around like Bambi most of the time <doh>

    Kelvin Davis - 8 MOTM, Made some good saves & a general all round good performances
    Frazer Richardson - 6, A steady performance but didnt pose much of a threat
    Aaron Martin - 7, Good in the air and did nothing wrong. Had a good partnership with Hooiveld
    Jos Hooiveld - 7, Dominating in the air and worked well with Martin
    Danny Fox - 5, Crossing was poor and wasn't good defensively im afraid
    Adam Lallana - 5, This guy is seriously going down the pan, poor player right now
    Jack Cork - 6, Didn't have control of the midfield. Inneffective.
    Morgan Schneiderlin - 7, Another good display. Good to see him getting involved in tackles.
    Steve De Ridder - 7, A good attacking display down the right
    Guly - 4, Poor. Could not keep control of the ball.
    Rickie Lambert - 7, A good all round display and battled hard

    David Connolly - 6, Lacking match fitness so struggled with the tempo
    Dean Hammond - 6, Not really much to do
    Lee Holmes - N/A, Didnt get into the game much

    Davis - 7 - played ok , the goal was not his fault IMO, defence too slow to react after his superb saves.
    Richardson -6- didn't do alot, but was solid, got his quota of crosses in, but no one on the receiving end, so they went to waste.
    Martin -7 - didn't do anything right or wrong, considering he hasn't had any match time, lasted the game out well.
    Hooiveld - 6- Solid as usual, a little caught for pace.
    Fox -5- roasted several time by Adomah, still doesn't overlap enough, but with no help from Lalana couldn't push up 2nd half.
    Cork -6- first half played ok, second half he was less effective.
    Morgan -5- apart from the shot, which I wish he would do more often, was fairly anonymous and picked up a silly yellow to miss the Brighton game.
    De Ridder -7- Flattered to deceive, lots of tricky stuff, but final ball always seemed to go into the wrong place.
    Lallana -4- His worst performance yet, needs a rest. No one obvious to replace him so it would need a change of tactics.
    Guly - 5 - Not a good effort, too many wrong decisions and never in place at the far post, the ball skimmed of his head several times because he didn't jump.
    Lambert -7- Tried to multi task, but was being fouled throughout the game and should have had a penalty 2nd half.

    Referee 1 for bothering to turn up in his kit. Deadman? = Deadloss, and as for the myopic idiot with a flag on the Kingsland side, he should stick to refereeing Ludo.

    Adomah was impressive, he won't be at Brizzle for long, but somehow I think Dan Harding would have dealt with him better.

    i shall work my way through the team.

    Davis - Firstly he spilled the shot that was on goal that maynard then put in which was disallowed for offside. He then made the same mistake again, obviously not learning from his previous mistake. He also faffed about in the last 10 mins passing it out and taking ages to kick it. Did he not know we where loosing?

    Lallana - Wasn't very good today at all. all i can remember him doing was a good bit of skill in the first half to get down the left towards the northam, but then did nothing with it.

    Guly - you all know my feelings on him. He was rubbish again today. yes he can do good stuff but doesn't do it enough for me. He is always half hearted.

    Adkins - TACTICS. we left it till the 77th min to change it, then go 1-0 down with in 3 mins. I have an issue with the change as well. Lallana wasn't playing well i understand that but guly was worse. Lallana can create something out of nothing even if he is playing badly. We then bring on lee holmes in the 88th min at right back. Jack cork had even started to run over to right back. what was he supposed to do for all of 6/7 mins?

    On a brighter side:

    Martin - Played well for his first league game for a long time. tried to stop the goal but was the only defender in sight when there bloke hit the ball.

    De ridder - His pace and strength was outstanding. he did so well today, but was let down once or twice from his final ball, most of the time it was ok, just no one on the end to finish it.

    the rest of the team (Fox, Hooiveld, Richardson, Cork, Morgan, lambert) where average at best and i have seen them play a lot better.

    Would like to hear your thoughts. I am prepared for you to shoot me down.

    im sorry but if a player is playing poor, no matter who they are, they should be dropped - no one should be picked on reputation

    Both those saves led to goals tho, one stood the other flagged offside for no reason at all.

    Exactly Lallana is in bad form, he needs to be rested for a few.

    Look at Ronaldo then,he always plays sh1t in big games and tournaments but Real Madrid and Portugal don't drop him.
    You need a talisman is your team even if he starts to play badly.Like Le Tiss,didn't do that much in matches but then he would score a hat-trick.
    Who would come in for Lallana then?

    I'll keep it short.

    De Ridder very impressive, needs to improve decision making but he looks promising. Does his man with absolute ease.

    Lallana was Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttteeeee.

    Guly was okay, some bad some good.

    Lambert was fouled all game but still played very well - what a volley!

    Schneiderlin was imperious first half but got frustrated by brizzle's tactics in the second and was rightly subbed.

    Hooiveld very good indeed.

    Davis was decent but parried into the danger area for their goal, though it was a good double save. I guess that's the difference between good keepers and top class keepers.

    MotM either Steve or Hooiveld.

    Davis did make a couple of good saves to be fait to him. I also agree that no player should be picked on reputation. When Guly gives the ball away everyone slates he hell out of him, but when Lallana does it, it seems to be someone elses fault or something!
