He’s nowhere near a championship level player
Fair enough. You are clearly going to stick to your simple binary view on Norton-Cuffy and Wilson-Esbrand. So you won't see anything positive in his performance yesterday or how Gyokeres became much more involved when he was introduced.
By the way who do you think was at fault for their goal yesterday?

No I think you are desperately trying to find something that plainly isn’t there
No one was to blame were they? Unlucky ricochet and a good finish

He doesn't, Vik gave him a mouthful more than once for not playing the early ball to Vik in space
I agree on the goal. Now tell me how Doyle isn't at fault but JWE was against Sunderland when likewise their player produced an outstanding shot?
And apparently yesterday's was an unfortunate ricochet from Howley, but the when Luton scored after a ricochet off Palmer that was Palmer's fault.
He's incapable of any impartiality when it comes to his (many) boo boys.

It was a comedy of errors, Howleys poor touch diverting it to the striker, Fadz coming out of position into no man's land leaving his man free, and then Doyle failing to get across quick enough to stop the shot. Although watching it back Doyle was quite close to him.

To be fair. Watching it back, whilst Doyle didn't get close to him quick enough he was a lot closer than JWE was and actually tried to put a tackle in. Hulls striker was in the middle of the goal, where as Sunderland the player was wider, very one footed and JWE was slow to get out, stood off him, didn't block the line of the shot and show him outside on his weekend foot, then turned his back as he shot.
For me yesterday was more down to Fadz and Howley.
Doyle was about a yard, JWE was about 3-4 yards off his man. Both great finishes that gave Wilson no chance.

Yeah Doyle is a little closer there than I remember him being actually.
Great finish to be fair to the lad.

Wilson 6
Two shots got passed him, one would have been a world class save if he has stopped it, the disallowed one was maybe reacted to a little late. What was notable was his giving the defence a rollicking when necessary. This is something that he has begun to do more and more now he feels that he is the No 1 keeper.
McNally 7
Steady enough, could have done better with the header over the bar, is it me or has he got the longest neck ever?
Fadz 6
Just ok. Slightly off it but no major issue.
Doyle 6
Was angry with himself for their goal - might have just got a bit tighter. Couple of good long plays.
Dabo 7
Good attacking play, looked strong and quick down the line. Won a few corners.
Bidwell 5
Bad game - he’s usually steady Eddie but looked cumbersome. One of the worst corners ever from the right. This begs the question: is it wise, against a team with pacy front players who look to break, to have your left sided defender on the right taking corners? Our left side cover, Doyle, you want in the box attacking the corner. This left Dabo having to chase back left etc. and exposed with a switch play. Daft.
Eccles 6
Young. One of our own, but I didn’t see him worthy of higher marks than Hamer. Some inexperienced play at times.
Hamer 8
Not his best game but and average game from Hamer is better than most players A game. Box to box and always inventive.
Howley 6
Copy - paste Eccles.
Godden 7
No one better in the club from 4 yards. Did his job there. Other than that, so so. Better than last week.
Vik 8
Not his best game but like Hamer, judge the game on the day. Still better than any other striker. Determined, mobile, strong.
Subs
McNally useless, the others so-so.
Walker 10 - for not throwing his toys out when he wasn’t picked after a decent cameo last time out.
Observation:
We get more corners than enough but haven’t mastered the art of utilising them.
We have a tall back 3 and now 6ft 2 Howley rather than Allen. I think we practice defending corners more than attacking them. (I.e., it looks as though in training our CBS are training to defend corners and we don’t have enough stand in CB to act as defenders when our CB attack. The downside of a small squad (in number) is that you can’t train for 8/9 to do the attack corner drill and another 9 to play as the defending team (unless you use young kids) ). Might be wrong. Anyway, attacking corners and throws need working on.

Some good comments but a 6 for Eccles?
Has to be a wind up.

But if we're bringing in a player on loan for the first team squad, you've got to be having higher expectations of them than a homegrown youngster clearly not ready and largely making up numbers at this stage of their development.
If they were own own youngsters and getting picked as often as they are people would be saying they're not ready and need a loan at a lower level.
