[Yaxx]

We should've had a penatly and a number of blatant free kicks.

I don't think i'm anyone mate. I just find it amusing, how you can question what my ratings were, when you didn't even go to the game.

I was at the game but I think we must have been watching different things.

Penalty? Free kick?? What are you on about??

As for Clemence, yes he made some good runs - but not with the ball.

Cort penalty appeal in the 2nd and a handball (never in a million years tho ) appeal in the 1st. Did you also not notice the booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing when Hume went down after a challenge by their brut of a centre half?

Just some reminders

[danny.]

I wasn't at the game but it sounded like mattock was at fault for the first goal through poor positioning. Therefore a rating of less than 5.5 would be reasonable?

Not at all, it was stearman's fault - he lost his man (as he did many times that game), the goal came from a cross from our right.

Mattock had a pretty decent game.

[stevec]

Or more Stearmans fault, he was letting the ball run out for a throw in despite the fact Brunt was going to keep it in, who's inch perfect cross led to the goal. Mattock played very well today.

Spot on - Stearman had a coffee thinking the ball was going to run out of play - had to put it down so he could chase after it - but too late and the player did him twice before putting in a great cross.

WBA goal looked offside to me - linesman was useless - never up with play. Ref was a shambles.

First half we were taken apart by a superior side who can pass the ball, and find one of there own players. We huffed and puffed more in the second half but never had the guile to do much.

WBA seemed to take foot off later on and we got more into it - but mostly a waste of time. Hume needs to start goal hanging - rather than wasting his efforts filling in for midfield - we are so vacant in the box - at all times. Let Cort drop a bit and attempt to flick on for him - hes no use in the box at all.

Spot on! I actually would say that Mattock was man of the match and dealt with Gera quite well. Stearman was definitely at fault for the first without a doubt but I will yet again say this ; Mcauley is a liability to the defence. Get Bruno in!

[lookwhaticando]

My point on the thread I called shit, because it was, thats my opinion.

The 'valid' point I was making is the opinion that he rated the players too highly considering we lost the game, nothing wrong with that?

The reason I called him what I did was because he insulted me first, so it amazes me why you didnt pick his thread up?

You didn't need to wade into a topic and call it shit just for the sake of it. If you have nothing to contribute to a thread, don't post at all - otherwise you look a bit silly.

The point you made re: Bert's ratings wasn't a 'valid' point - you essentially suggested that Bert's ratings were too high (i.e. wrong) based only upon the result of the game. The folly of such an approach has been plain to see for many seasons with Leicester City - we often play cluelessly and still manage to win (Wolves away under Rob Kelly, anyone?) and sometimes play well but end up being robbed. As Bert pointed out, it's about the players individually, not the team collectively. And it's based upon what people see at the game... not what they see on teletext.

[Simi]

Can't agree with that.

Thought that he struggled when people ran at him and when he went forward always seemed to check back, although he did get very little support from team mates.

[reynard]

Fulop 6 Didin't have a lot to do but should have come for some of their crosses.

Stearman 4 Considering he is employed as a defender he was poor. Better going forward but partly to blame for first goal for allowing the cross.

Kisnorbo 5 Better than the last home game but distribution poor again and as ever looked outclassed against pacey forwards playing ball on the floor.

McCauley 3 Rubbish. At fault for their winner. Needs basic instruction in how to pass the ball. Lacks pace and looked in trouble against their attack.

Mattock 4 1st half awful At fault for the goal as he lost his man. Personally I'm not sure he will make it at full back. He lacks any real pace and is consistently turned and outpaced in almost every game I have watched. Going forward he really offers very little as he does not have the pace to get round the outside of a defender and so always cuts inside. We need a decent left back.

Weso 2 absolutely terrible. He couldn't pass it to a Leicester player. Looked completely off the pace and was offering nothing. His injury was akin to having a sick animal put to sleep. Will he ever be properly fit?

Kenton 6.5 By far the best midfielder which says it all really. Won lots of tackles and tried to get forward but he is not a midfielder.

Clemence 5 Better than of late but simply swamped in midfield battle. Needs better players around him. Shows why Spurs and Bham were willing to sell him.

Chambers 5 Tried hard but looks lost wide on the right. Not the answer in that position.

Cort 6 Thought he did ok today. Held the ball up quite well and tried to bring players into the game. Shame for him that they didn't seem to want to do that. Some of the balls he got were better aimed at a giraffe. Stii doesn't look much of a goal threat though.

Hume 4.5 Scores a lucky goal but he is nothing more than a poor man's Dickov at the moment. Sick of seeing him waste good opportunities by balsting the ball over the bar. Would merit being rested if we had other options. Shows how desperate our attacking optiona are at the moment.

King 5 Very average and didn't really offer anything. Showed some good simple passes but clealry not the finished item but may become so.

Hayes 4 Thought he was poor today. Simply didn't demand the ball enough though he was our only attacking player in the last 10 minutes. Positional play ????

I can't be bothered to argue, you think your right, and I think I'm right. Simple

Im off to the gym - have a lovely evening

[The Stig]

Fulop 6: Did what he had to

Stearman: 5.5: Slihht improvement, got some half decent tackles in but still is beaten too easily and still encourages crosses to come in

McAuley: 5.5 Can't argue with what most people have said really, struggled to deal with their attack.

Kisnorbo: 5.5

Mattock 5: Allowed crosses, didn't tackle, dis-possessed to easily, too many errors, only showed glimpses of what he can do

Kenton 7: Good game good game. Much improved, decent tackles, good descision making, some nice balls. Didn't do much wrong.

Clemence: 5.5 Struggled to get into the game and was unnoticeable throughout long periods.

Weso NA

King: 5.5 Solid but unspectacular, got forward nicely a few times but to little effect.

Hume: 6 The effort and determination was there although rarely looked a threat. Having said that did little wrong (although there was a few errors_

Cort: 7 Much improved, did little wrong against a very good defence. If he continues to improve he will become a good player to have in the team. WELL DONE CARL

Chambers: 5: Didn't get involved enough and struggled when coming forward. Not quite ready, although these games will give him valuable experience.

Hays: 5.5 Should have started as is the only player who looked capable of beating a man (other than Hume at times). Will be a good player.

Ollie 8: I love his passion and the way he got the fans going, there was nothing more he could have done today.

Ref 5: Not as bad as people are saying, we are seriously biased at this club and some of the descisons which sent the kop mad were correct. However there was a few dodgy descisions, some costly.

If we had played like that against Southampton we'd have won. That was a very good side we played and we were outclassed, however I was encouraged by some of the things I saw. Well done City, I was pleased with the effort and passion. With the addition of some quality in January we could still make the top half. You make your own luck in football, and West Brom have the quality to snatch goals when they are on the back foot. Its why they won today, and why that sort of thing rarely happens to us. Good luck to them for the rest of the season.

[FleckneyFox]

Fulop - 5.5 - Not much chance with goals distribution poor as usual

Stearman - 5 - Awful mistake for first goal but apart from that had a reasonably good game

McAuley - 5.5 - Looked cool in defence but still thinks he has more time than he does

Kisnorbo - 6 - Excellent defensively. Poor ditribution

Mattock - 7 - Ran the left hand side alone for most of the game did very well couple of decent runs

Kenton - 6.5 - Excellent first half got really stuck in. went missing second half

Wesolowski - 6 - Until he went off was the only player making movement and looking for the ball

Clemence - 5 - Not as poor as before but another bad game. Take away his captaincy.

Chambers - 5.5 - Made a couple of decent runs down the right but was largely ineffective

Cort - 5.5 - Still dont think he looks great but much better than what ive seen of him so far this season

Hume - 5 - Was poor doesnt look interested anymore fair play he scored a goal but i think he should go in Jan

King - 5 - Never had much impact

Hayes - 6 - Was lively and made a couple of runs but no end product

Crowd - 9 - Were excellent today especially last 30 mins

[AyewJoking]

May I say that Humes goal may have been lucky but he made his own luck chasing and challenging for the ball. Usually the ref blows as soon as the keeper flinches.

Utter tripe. Thier first goal was Stearmans fault. Stearman thought the ball was rolling out of play but then the winger came in and picked it up, and when Stearman caught up he proceeded to get raped TWICE and let the winger cross it. But i can see why you would blame Mattock
