Iwan Roberts tooth fairy Posted 19 February 2012 Posted 19 February 2012 kasper - 7 - didn't have an awful lot to do, unlucky with the peno decision(when ever ,do you see a keeper get penalised?) and good save from the peno, but again unlucky. Pelts -7- decent performance after a few shaky episode's in recent times Morgan -9- Brilliant, read everone like a kindle....what he lacks in pace, he makes up for,with his understanding of the play saint Ledge -8- assured display...him and morgan deserved a cleaner today...**** off Mills Kennedy -7- Did ok, was a bit nervous on the odd occasion.....but cosidering he was thrown in at the deep end....did well Dyer -7- worked well for the team.....and tried his best Wellens -8- back to his old good self...ran the show with some neat flicks and passes Danns -8- Very energetic performance....no pele...but he has got a good heart and passion for the side, and worked tirelessley for the team today. Marshall -7- Kid put the effort in...but it didn't quite pull off for him today....was impressed with his directness and delivery....out and out winger...bright future Beckford -7- worked hard and is a vast improvement on what we was seeing from him a couple of months ago.....needs to stop thinking he's being hard done to....shrugging your shoulders to the ref and stopping dead in your tracks till something goes for him, is not going to bode well for the team Nugent -8- Love the guy, love's playing football....a real honest player, always gives 100%...a neat little finish, an asset to the team and apossibel legend Pearson -10- How people can give him stick already is ridiculous....It's coming together...I can feel it and see it.....He know's what we need to do and he is slowly doing it... right man for the job ....just gonna take time....if them Thai's didn't go all hollywood....then we would be in the prem already(with Pearson)...Not faulting the Thai's for there commitment to the club....but they have set us back a couple of years....and I think they will realise this next year. Up the foxes!
woznotwos Posted 19 February 2012 Posted 19 February 2012 From the telly: Kasper 6,5 - I don't really understand why people are doubting the penalty decision. It was pretty clear. One none too clever decision on his part (which he has a habit of doing) is pulling his rating down quite a bit. Didn't have much to do other than the fine save at the end. Wasn't affected by his mistake, but looked shaky from their corners. Showed great awareness towards the end to set up counter attacks, which deserves some plaudits in my view. Peltier 7 - An excellent tackle in the first half saved and almost certain goal. Full of energy and had to dealt with his many jobs well, i.e. helping with closing down in midfield and covering his own flank. Isn't great positionally, but he makes up for it with his constant running. Taking into consideration the quality of his immediate opponent, it was a very solid showing. Morgan 8 - A rock at the back for over 70 minutes. Was nervous once he got that yellow, but he controlled himself well. Jackson and Morrison didn't get a foot in after the first minute chance. Was under a lot of pressure when Vaughan came on and some Norwich counterattacks materialised, but he and SSL managed that threat very well too. Unlucky with the back-heel, which might've just crept over. SSL 8,5 - Excellent goal and was just as if not even more impressive at the back than Morgan. Don't see why Mills or Bamba should be restored on the back of this showing. Kennedy 7,5 - Stood up well to Bennett and was constantly looking to support Dyer, which helped Lloyd to a very good performance. Unlucky to be taken off, although I'd understand it if he was knackered. Marshall 7 - Don't think he had much success in his actual wing play, but worked hard and delivered some peaches from set pieces. I expect a lot from this guy after the praise he's gotten from Wednesday fans. On the back of this performance, I don't see why Gally should be preferred. Wellens 8,5 - Was the glue in the side. His passing and vision was excellent and he put in a great shift defensively too. He just looks so composed on the ball and often chose the right option. The odd Hollywood ball can be condoned as it made our play less predictable and pinned their defenders back because of the constant threat of our strikers. Danns 6,5 - He ran and he worked hard, but I think he lacks quality in the middle of the park. He might've had a high success rate with his passes, but he lost control of the ball in dangerous places and lacked positional sense. Still, he got his body forward in support well and helped out behind as well. Dyer 7,5 - Martin must be glad the game is over, because Lloyd could easily run rings around him. Typical Dyer performance when he's on top of his game, and the delivery was good too. Tracked back very well, which forced Norwich to play in an unfamiliar fashion. Beckford 7 - Linked up well with Nugent and had a few decent efforts from half-chances. Looked a bit frustrated first half, but kept on running and trying stuff. Deserved a goal. Nugent 8 - He's our main man going forward, no shadow of a doubt. Does everything so well, holding up the ball, making runs, taking the aerial duels, running with the ball and just giving us that spark when going forward. His tireless display crowned with a great goal even if their defense was highly inept in that situation. Subs: Konchesky 6 - His low rating might have coincided with the Norwich subs, but I didn't feel all too secure when he replaced Kennedy. Made a very poor pass which ultimately ended with Hoolahan nearly curling it in at the far post. But he also made some good interceptions and passes while keeping energy levels up. Delfouneso 5,5 - Didn't really show much attacking-wise other than a stray effort from range, and sometimes left Pelts with much to do. Did use his pace on the wing to help keep possession and giving options which was useful when running down the clock. Agree with your comments on Kennedy and konchesky , exactly what i thought !!

shen Posted 19 February 2012 Posted 19 February 2012 Kasper - 9 Pelts - 7.5 Morgan - 8.5 St Ledger - 8.5 Kennedy - 7 Marshall - 7.5 Wellens - 8.5 Danns - 7 Dyer - 8 Nugent - 8 Beckford - 7.5 Konchesky - 6 Fonz - 6 Nigel - 9.5 Kasper a 9 and MotM? Had two saves, one of which came from his own mistake?
Bert Posted 19 February 2012 Posted 19 February 2012 Kasper 8 - redeemed himself by saving the penalty, his kicks were a great outlet one which nearly lead to a goal. Relieves so much pressure, couple of handy saves. Pelts 8 - Very good, wiped the Watford demons away, excellent in defence and supported the attack well. Kennedy 7 - Very composed and calm in possession. A lack of games prevented him completing the 90. Morgan 8.5 - Made of steel, rock solid defending and scored - only for it to not be awarded. SSL 8 - Scored and defended as consistently as he has been doing so. Marshall 7 - Gave it his best shot, set a goal up and works hard. Dyer 7 - A great outlet at times, caused their RB no end of problems. Wellens 9 - MOTM. Ran the show, looked a ass above everyone on the pitch. Danns 7.5 - A bit like Savage but can play too. Gave the ball away a few times but his energy, work rate and commitment was vital. Becks 7 - Looked uninterested first half, second half he was a different player. Looked the player we were excited about signing and another assist. Nugent 8 - Another superb goal with a great performance. Can see him hitting 20 goals this season. Konch 6 Fonz 6.5
