Burge :6 - Not much wrong.
Grimmer: 6 - Good first half, should have shot on a couple of opportunities. Not so good in the second.
Hyam: 4.5 lost his man. Very disappointed in him today, has been our best player so far.
Willis: 5 - Won a fair amount, gave it a good go in the second.
Mason: 6 - Not bad. Continuing to improve.
Doyle: 3 - After a great game last week, back to a Blackpool performance by Doyle. He was so poor. Misplaced passes, slowed the game down and failed to rally the players.
Bayliss: 5 - Few decent turns but lacked the cutting edge (AGAIN).
Thomas: 4 - His shooting was appalling. Very similar to Ryan Kent. All the ability in the world but awful end product.
Shipley: 3 - Poor.
Andreu: 3 - Also, very poor. Looks knackered.
JCH: 4 - Another player to make a step down after a good game. Not won as much in the air this week. Missed a handful of headers.
Subs
Bakayoko : 1 - Awful player. Made to look even worse by the long ball.
Chaplin: 5 - Worked hard. Dropped too deep.
Allassani: 3 - Thrown in the deep end.
YepFirst half, all 8-9's. Second half, all dogshit.
Embarrassing to throw Bakayoko under the bus. Shipley did fuck all in that match, less than Bakayoko at Blackpool but he'll avoid the flack because he's 'one of our own' and scored a goal at Wembley.Burge :6 - Not much wrong.

Christ, imagine if Bakayoko missed as many chances as the other players. It's pretty laughable.
Chaplin was dropping deep as that is where he was playing, the same as Andreu.
I'd expect no different from Bakayoko.
Problem is with Bakayoko, it's not just missing chances, it's that he's not a very good footballer.

It's more because he is the latest boo boy. Even when he scored a goal people were trying their best to be negative about it.
Second time I've seen this Bakayoko being thrown under the bus comment. He's just not a good footballer and he cost a phenomal amount of money at this level. If he plays well, I'll praise him. Same with McNulty, I slated him also, but was happy to accept I was wrong.
Yeah, I know what you're saying but people are giving him stick because he has had some shockers.
When he scored, he still only had a decent game. Nothing special.
Was best player on the pitch first half, their manager nullified him secondI thought Grimmer was pretty poor today, yes he got forward and attacked but he nearly cost us because he was knackered and couldn't get back. Not too sure how he got man of the match.

How can you have a midfield player who is that slow? I think people see him as some sort of poor man's James Milner but he's so ineffective it's unreal.Delighted that others see what i see. Shipley is utterly useless. He doesnt make a challenge, rarely makes a decent pass and is a general hindrance.
Mason probably was my motm too tbf. First half he was excellent really good. Bit of credit to Keith Hill for making the changes that nullified our attacking threat down the flanks.Mason for me was man of the match Doyle was all alone central no support in the battle off Bayliss.

The icing on the cake for me was the first half when Mason slipped a ball through to him in the box and he contrived to turn a great attacking position into a pass back out of the box because he just couldn't sort his body out quickly enough and didn't want to consider having a go with his right foot.Second half Mason sprinted like a maniac for the overlap, covered some serious ground and Shipley didn't even try to play him in quickly.
Shipley only seems to link up well with Bayliss, didn't get near each other todaySecond half Mason sprinted like a maniac for the overlap, covered some serious ground and Shipley didn't even try to play him in quickly.
