Birmingham Player Ratings

[Matt_B]

yeah hes been a bit nervous in the last two games, what has Hendo done wrong?:icon_conf

He let in a few soft goals, Southend springs to mind as one

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

Second goal was his fault. He knew Cole was too quick for him so tried to foul him, but made a poor attempt at pulling him back.

agreed

There was still no need for Logan to go rushing out for it though

but maybury had left larsson completely unmarked for a relatively easy goal

As well yes. The defence was a sham for that goal. Birmingham made it difficult for us by staying as a defensive bank of four, in their positions, ours were all over the place, especially for that goal

 

[pipes]

Logan 6 - Was at fault for both their goals (jointly with the defence) but second half his catching improved and made a couple of stops

Maybury 4 - Really was a poor game for him. Bad passing, and at fault for their second goal

Stearman 5 - Poor first half, showed some fight in the second half but not playing to his potential

Kisnorbo 6 - I'm a massive fan but this wasn't one of his better days

Johansson 5 - OK but shown up big-time by Cole for second goal

Newton 8 - Overall it was a good game for him. Really lively towards the end, shame it couldn't have been for the whole 90 minutes

Mattock 7 - Great prospect - he livened up second half, made a good run at one point. Snatching the shot from Cadamateri at the end took the gloss of a great debut though

Jarrett 5 - Didn't think he did too much wrong, just was quite anonymous

Wesolowski 6 - Effort was very evident, came close with a shot first half

Fryatt 5 - Forced out of the game by their defenders, not a good game for him at all

Hume 6 - For all his effort he didn't achieve much in the end - similar to Fryatt in that he struggled against their big defenders

Cadamateri 8 - He really did look the part when he came on. Won a header against their centre back almost as soon as he came on - something Hume & Fryatt hadn't done between them all game. Very strong and very purposeful. Get him in there against Preston!

Hughes 7 - I thought the worst when he was brought on, but he surprised me and showed some spirit for once

Horsfield 7 - Just what we needed against those beastly defenders

Johansson: 6 - Did ok, played out of position

That's his proper position! and was at fault for the second goal when he got made to look a fool by Andrew Cole.

Ditto!

The Crowd - 10
Chicken Balti pie - 8

i called up NF before the game started, to tell him of my disgust of the Chicken Balti Pies, you obviously haven't been to stoke !!! (now thats what i call a chicken balti pie !)

 

[Dunc]

I was sat next to Paul Simpson (don't ask why) and reading his notes was interesting.

the only player he rated highly was Fryatt, he seemed to be saying Hume runs about alot but there's not much in the way of end product.

Liked the look of Weso and Mattock though.

 

[Naughty Fox]

caught out for pace by a 34 year old:icon_lol:

I'm fecking 34 and I bet I can out pace him too, with my walking stick and dodgy knees and failing eyesight^.:icon_wink :icon_lol:

The aroma of Balti pie as your inspiration.

I don't know who Paul Simpson is, but I'd agree with him.
