Zip Just one other thing why do the vendors outside the ground insist you can’t take a bottled drink into the stadium with the cap on. They remove the cap before they give you the drink. Ridiculous.
ZipLower WestZip Kelly has his moments as do Swift and Clement but they are all very inconsistent.
When you consider that they are only 22, 22 and 21 respectively. All 3 can only get better the more games they play. Likwise George Evans who still is only 23. Ideally in the summer we'll recruit an experienced head in the Elphick mould. To provide that much needed level of organisation and leadership to the midfield.
Yep agreed. That’s what we need.
genome Yeah, I liked it. It looked a little odd with just the small number of them, but hopefully it will attract more fans over there the more they do it.

You'd have thought that was the point of Edwards. Hasn't quite worked out that way though.

A full bottle with a lid on is quite a good weapon.

I read something about free beer. Why wasn't this communicated?
NewCorkSeth Mannone - 7 - Played very well again, he made the saves he needed to and didn't make a mistake in possession that I can recall. Why he was dropped is a real mystery to me. Did he fall out with Stam?
Gunter - 7 - I don't know if I'm imagining it but I think he played better at LB. Played well today which I hate saying.
Moore - 8 - MOTM. I would mark him higher but I have to be honest and say that watching the game I had no idea he won 21 headers and thought Ilori was the better of the pair but the statistics prove me wrong here.
Ilori - 8 - He has become undroppable. Put in some quality work in defense. If we keep these 2 theyll be a hell of a Cb partnership to beat next season.
Richards - 7 - I thought he didnt look out of place and was puzzled by the sub at half time. Anyone got a suggestion why?
Kelly - 7 - Seems to be more confident but was a little wasteful at times which is frustrating to watch.
Bacuna - 7 - Was a bit quiet in the second half when the majority of the attacks were coming down the opposite flank. Probably our best RB...
Swift - 7 - Put in a lot more defensive work than usual so might be looking to add something to his game. The lack of Williams behind him seems to have hampered his effectiveness. I hope he re-finds his form next season (if he stays)
Aluko - 7 - Cunningham did a good job silencing him but he threatened to pull off a quality run or two every now and again.
Barrow - 8 - Hes just super isn't he? I like him. Headbutted a Preston player but didn't get caught so I'm hoping no retrospective ban is on the way.
JDB - 6 - Off pace but just back from injury so can be excused. Chose poor runs often.
Subs:
Clement - 7 - Surprisingly good. Dedicated in defense and somewhat creative on the ball, heavy touch a few times dampened his effectiveness.
Evans - 5 - Meh
Martin - 5 - Double meh.

RoyalBlueWestwood52 Gunts 6: Typical performance-technically OK-but still backs off letting numerous crosses get in-never got forward.

If you want to go on a Gunter witch hunt at least try to offer some vaguely credible evidence to support it. It is, of course, complete and utter bollocks to suggest he never got forward today. Nor did he let numerous crosses get in.
I was screaming at Gunter all second half for repeatedly backing off and letting the crosses come in

I actually thought Richards defended our left better than Gunter and we generally looked more solid first half
Quite enjoyed Clement's performance when he came on. Usually he's featherweight, but he tackled and scrapped and won the ball a lot. Very nice to see.

Perhaps someone should tell the staff inside then. My Diet Coke was served with bottle top intact today.

If you go to whoscored.com and select our game, then Bodin and pass accuracy, you can select key passes. All three of his came second half.
You can also go into the chalkboard, select Bodin and look at crosses. Most were second half.
So yeah, the stats would be more in your support than RB's and anyone with eyes knows Gunter rarely gets tight.

You don't need to put in crosses if you're being given the freedom of the county to go where you like. Bodin ran rings around Richards and QPRs best chance was a first half shot from him. If Blackett had played like that he'd have been booed off.
Also if you're going to use whoscored stats, maybe you should have a closer look.
Richards (45) Tackles 0. Interceptions 0. Clearances 1
Gunter (90) Tackles 3. Interceptions 3. Clearances 9.
Jagermesiter1871 Who'd have thought cutting out the suicidal defending would result in us not gifting goals and actually winning games?

I know but it’s not been a problem at the club before so I’m surprised it’s deemed to be one now.
