Norwood - I thought he did OK, obviously has instructions to take the ball very deep and "do his thing" from there. Kept the ball moving, tried to be positive. But one misplaced pass later and the crowd was on his back, he then lost a lot of confidence and played it simple and then got worse.
Fleck - he's been useless for a long time, but was better than I expected. Has 0 confidence in taking a man on, which is a shame as he used to weave past players with ease. I'd much rather see Osborn in his role, he'd cover more ground, offer Norwood more protection, and do the dirty work to allow Norwood to get his ping back.
Baldock - awful. Either made the wrong decision or didn't make a decision. Again, 0 confidence in taking anyone on, 0 confidence in his crossing.
Stevens - not much better than Baldock. Got turned badly for the goal and ended up 5 yards from him, giving time and space to pick his spot. Far too slow there.
Egan/Davies - felt they did OK and kept Madine quiet. I didn't see them get bullied as I thought Madine was nailed on to score.
Osborn - he was hit and miss but covers so much ground. He's never a left winger, he needs to be deeper and central so he can be a pain in the arse chasing the ball around, man marking, shadowing etc. Give him a go in Fleck's place.
