player ratings v cold goast

Well that games brings back all that sucks about football, still I'll try and have an objective look at....

f**king aweful in almost all areas of the park........agree with most of them, but I'd drop Vuka 1 for not stopping the second, it should never have got to a shot but it wasn't that tough. Siggy did well but an 8?, noone deserves an 8 for that performance.
Everyone else was very very poor.

Ricki - 5, why does he isist on playing a short striker up front? Surely aftyer trying it for 3 seasons he would have learned that players we need to have two up front, not on poacher and two attacking mids who drift out to the wings.....

Put Vuko down to a 3, he could have saved the 2nd goal if he put his foot out - instead he tried to pick it up - Lazy

Didn't even attempt to throw himself at the third (it wasn't even all that far and a very slow ball)

Hard to judge the subs.  None of them made an impact.

Very unimpressive.  Tactically woeful.  Clinical execution non existent.  Long ball dribble, and not enough hard work in central midfield to create opportunities.  This team has to learn that there has to be more than Ifill to create.  The best teams have multiple threats, we basically have one.

Ifill's performance was everything that could have been expected - actually, a little more.  He worked pretty hard in the first half, contributing to defence more than he usually does, but ran out of gas.  Should have been subbed off at that point (or, alternatively, started on the bench and used as an impact player).

I thought Greenacre played reasonably well but apart from that....

Definitely couldn't rate the center back pair so highly. Other than that, pretty much agree. Hearfield down to 4 or 5 as well- nothing going forward (Siggy offers more attacking than him at the moment) and was part of the comedy duo that let the ball out of the corner for the 2nd goal. And Vukovich 5 aswell.aitkenmike2010-10-02 17:22:36

Hearfield made one very bad error round the 90th min that should've seen a goal to GCU, but overall I thought he made a decent fist of that left back role. Not sure why he has attracted so much abuse on the match thread while Jade North's lackadaisical defending is barely mentioned.

Vukovic - shows poor technique to me. I dont like the way he goes at the ball with his hands, and the second goal was a perfect example. Paston is our goalie.

Certainly agree that Hearfield was less poor in this game than our centre back pairing.

I'm just glad we got our worst performance of the season out of the way!

we are better off than we were last year, 2 points ahead....so we can still turn it around

Missing Tony P!

Certainly don't need to buy a reddy with Vuka, hmmm Dadi v Big Mac hmmmm, Caceras v Ward Ward is in front, so we should be sweet, McKain is what we haven't got though unless North really pulls finger.

agreed

Hmmm...though we are missing Kosta, no real replacement there, and let's be honest- Big Mac hasn't been as successfull as Dadi yet, and Ifill and Bertos aren't quite up to their standards from last year yet....

True,we will miss Kostas 5min stints every 10 games come the end of the season
