Pressman 4 - Looked Shaky, undecisive and seemed to take an age with every clearance, kicking woeful. Now people please back off on Taylor he is head and shoulders better than Pieman.
Makin 3 - What does he contribute ? Defensively poor, constantly being caught out of position, slow and offers nothing going forward. Should never ever play for this club again.
Keown 5 - Looks lost in a back 3, if we continue to use this formation I would prefer to play either Heath or Stearman. Keown is definately a 4-4-2 defender.
Dabizas 6 - Sometimes looks superb and strong and then at other times defends like a Greek Wrestler, is too inconsistent for me.
Dublin 7 - Made a shocking mistake whilst trying to play about instead of playing simple. But I like Dion at the back, he attacks everything and makes some decent tackles and blocks, and because he used to be a striker I think he anticipates and reads the game very well.
Stewart 6.5 - Another good effort from Jordy, worked really hard up and down the left for us always giving us an option. Really good energy levels.
Still needs to work on his confidence, still isnt trying to skin people, fustrating because he definately has the ability.
Gemmill 4 - Very disappointing, lacked commitment looked half hearted when going into tackles and contributed little. Time to let him go and use the wages to bring somebody else in.
Gudjonsson 6 - In general did ok, worked hard. Can be very fustrating though, often when in possession can be very good and creative, but other times can have a rush of blood to the head and loses the plot. If CL can work on this then I think Joey could be ok.
Williams 8 - Was superb, involved in everything that was good about us, very rarely gave the ball away, work rate was superb and was a constant threat with his runs into the box. His set play delivery was generally decent as well and scored a very good goal. May well have solved the attacking midfielder / playmaker problem. More of the same.
Scowcroft 4 - His performance up front was nothing short of disgraceful, he looked unintrested and uncommited and was absolutely no threat at all. However when he was pushed further wide he seemed to want to get more involved. By his body language he has already left the club.
Connolly 5 - Fustrating, again all his best work was done outside the box, or out wide, again suffered through lack of quality service and lack of a decent hard working strike partner.
Subs
Maybury 7 - Tenacious, energetic, good positional sense and positive in fact everything Makin aint. Looks a decent player and definately injected some fresh impetus into the team.
De Vries 6 - Lack match fitness according to CL, but did enough to provide encouragement for the future, put himself about and looks a handful. You could see just his presence caused panic in the Blackpool defence and it was no coincidence that Connolly got more space and came into the game more once De Vries was introduced.
Nalis 5.5 - Not long enough to really stamp his authority on the game but did ok. Should definately replace Gemmill in the next game.
