We played some decent stuff again at times and alot of the fans don't like a patient build up which really pissed me off. Learn about the game of football before you come to the game for fuck's sake :rant:
Right, Kenny was ok today, couldn't do anything about either goal and made a couple of decent stops when called upon.
Geary - Looked solid, doesn't get beaten very often. Had a good game.
Lucketti - Didn't win enough headers for my liking, improvement was needed from him. We need Morgan instead of him to organise the defence better aswell.
Kilgallon - Hardly put a foot wrong all game, the one thing he did wrong cost us which was unfortunate for him.
Naysmith - Looked steady, again hardly put a foot wrong all game.
Gillespie - Wasn't good enough. Hasn't got the pace to get round defenders anymore, his best attribute is crossing, and he may aswell not have bothered because there were some poor balls in.
Montgomery - Wasn't bad, did the dirty stuff ok but again his passing let him down on a few occassions. Also needed some new boots.
Leigertwood - I was surprised he was taken off tbh, had a good game and looked better than Montgomery I thought. If he carries on playing like that I'll be happy.
Hendrie - Looked disillusioned out on the left, if he'd have played more central he would have been more effective. Hopefully Robson puts him in the middle at Watford next week.
Sharp - Looked lively, some decent runs at times but never really looked like scoring. Think he will get better.
Beattie - Top performance I thought, won more or less every header that came his way and took his goal well. Arguably man of the match for us.
Armstrong - When he came on he was very poor, completely different to how he was in pre-season. I hope for an improvement in him.
Tonge - Came on and did well, my only complaint with him was sometimes coming too deep for the ball and not advancing enough when doing that. He took his goal well.
Webber - Wasn't on long enough to make an impact.
Not a bad performance overall, but the marking must be worked on, and concentration levels after we score.
I'm still confident, I just hope people don't rush to judge Robson like some of the morons on the back of the Kop :rant:
