Generally we played some decent stuff, thought it was typical that they score one of their only chances whilst we spurn countless. Still pretty positive after the match, think we looked alot more mobile with Agyemang, Vine and Taarabt linking up and switching positions, compared with an Isolated Helguson, who didn't really make alot of effort to find space. Think Taarabt needs to be sharper with his shooting. Defensively, I thought we were solid, Gorkks got turned once easily prior to the their goal but overall was impressed from the back four, althought Hall played well, would much rather Connolly start.
Cerny 6 - Had little to do today
Ramage 8 - Great performance, best I've personally seen of him, epitomises the word passionate.
Borrowdale 7 - Very solid and encouraging display.
Hall 7 - Good all round showing, slightly vulnerable in the air but tidy on the deck.
Gorkks 7 - The man is consistency
Routledge 6 - Expect better, had some bright spells followed by frustratingly poor spells.
Balanta 6.5 - Played some nice through balls, and linked well. At times tried too much.
Mahon 7 - Looked quite sharp today, feel more comfortable with him than Leigertwood.
Rowlands 6.5 - Opening 30 minutes was everywhere and anywhere, really put himself about, the diagonal pass didn't really work today. Shame about the injury, hoping its not serious, looked seriously p*ss*d off when he came off.
Helguson 4 - Our worst performer, no movement/mobility offered from him. Spurned some good chances. Hold up play was poor in comparison to Pat.
Taarabt 6.5 - At times is genius, then can be wasteful and greedy. If he can tighten up his shooting could be really dangerous. Thought he was better cutting in from the wing yesterday.

Buzsaky 7 - Good to see him back, demanded possession and almost scored from a free kick. Put himself about too.
Vine 6.5 - Missed a great chance after a good cross from Pat. Linked up well but we know he can do alot better.
Agyemang 7.5 - Added another dimension to the team, good movement and hold up play. Snapped at his only chance, other than that was an improved performance from him.
