Thoroughly atrocious performance. Another Saturday afternoon to question my sanity. All of the starting XI way off the standard required for Championship football, against a poor Cardiff side but at least they had some fight about them.
We were One paced, no movement/creativity. 62% possession acc to BBC stats!, a fair chunk it simply passing between the CB’s or backwards.
Can’t really be arsed to rate them but:
Keeper and back four no more than 2, apart from Thomas who was a 4 for me.
Their No 3 bossed the midfield; Rudoni did ok first half, surprised Eccles came out for the second half, Sheaf way off it all game.
Bassette started slowly but got into the game; EMC the only one with pace, spark and energy and took his goal well, my MOM, Saka awful other than the assist for the EMC goal.
Torp took the pen well, thought BTA was ok, Simms didn’t really impose himself.
Crowd really flat all game.
Lampard has got a tough gig on his hands based on today and Burnley.
