His awful shot in the second half notwithstanding, in the first half he was one of very few who had turned up. Worked hard defensively, still takes far too many touches going forward but I could see some promise. Pity is basically nobody else showed up in the first half and everyone looked lost at sea in the second.I can't agree with some of your extreme low marks, but glad to see you've recognised the contribution from EMC. He's a good player and I really don't understand some of the harsh criticism he's been getting.
He was getting predictable before his injury. Beat his man then cut back and try and beat him again. It might be a crowd pleaser but it kills our momentum and he often loses the opportunity to put the ball in. Defenders were starting to read him before his injury.he didn’t used to be, was amazing to watch as you wouldn’t know what he would do. Since the injury he’s been half the player he was.
It’s a sad state of affairs that Eccles has been our best midfield performer this season-by that the bar really hasn’t been set very high at all and tells us really all we need to know about our other midfielders.Why does it have to be either or? I disagree strongly with Torch on Sheaf, but if you think Eccles has been poor this season I don't know what to say. He's been far our most consistent player and improved massively the past season.
Sadly, Dasilva signed a 4 year deal, he isn't going anywhere.I don’t know how Dasilva is still in the team he is absolutely crap , it’s like watching a school boy being bullied every game , get rid in January Frank
Whoever agreed that should have been sacked.Sadly, Dasilva signed a 4 year deal, he isn't going anywhere.
I'm in the didn't want him camp but he came across very well and honest in his assessment of our performanceThought Lampard's post match interview was pretty good. Being honest about the play, particularly in the second half.
Derby?Worst home performance of the season by a mile.
Only player who looked any good was Binks.
Da Silva can fuck off, useless.

That’s my worry with Simms. Imagine being a striker who’s just won a penalty and then let’s someone else take it. That’s what sets players like Gyokeres apart, he’s grabbing that ball and there is no one that can stop him. Simms needs some of that attitude.
Derby?
Sakamoto and Van Ewick were like schoolboys today. Light weight and poor passing. Their only saving grace was chasing the ball they’d just lost To Cardiff players.Collins 4

Derby was frustrating, but we were unlucky to concede 2 goals and they were a worse side.Derby?
Give Eccles some credit.It’s a sad state of affairs that Eccles has been our best midfield performer this season-by that the bar really hasn’t been set very high at all and tells us really all we need to know about our other midfielders.
You say the same thing even if we had Maldini and Cafu as our fullbacks.
They are league 1 talents.

JDS 6 he was positionally weird with the ball which I assume was tactical but was ok when he had it
Eccles 4 didn't look at all like he knew what he was doing
Sheaf 5 taking far too many touches again and again, if you're going to be a progressive passer do it
Rudoni 6 thought he got into some ok positions first half but did leave us exposed in midfield
Sakamoto 6 nice assist but did nothing afterwards, being inverted like he was just exposes his lack of physicality and nullifies his partnership with MVE
Bassette 5 got to score at least one of the chances he had, movement good otherwise and we need to start looking for it a bit quicker
EMC 6 scored albeit as ever as mishit shot, looked one of our better players though
Subs
Torp 6 passed the ball forward
Simms 6 good drive into the box for the penalty, need a lot more of that
just got to hope Freiburg come back in for himSadly, Dasilva signed a 4 year deal, he isn't going anywhere.
Its not only his physical limitations but JDS has poor positional sense. Both JDS and Tatsu showed they couldn't cope with Cardiff's physicality yesterday unable to effectively challenge and easily pushed off the balljust got to hope Freiburg come back in for him
People keep saying this but he seems to have quite a lot of admirers among different coaches and managers (including our own, according to reports a few years ago). I imagine someone would take him if we made him available.Sadly, Dasilva signed a 4 year deal, he isn't going anywhere.
He's had harsh criticism because we all had high hopes for him, and he cost £4.5million and was a top player in league 1.I can't agree with some of your extreme low marks, but glad to see you've recognised the contribution from EMC. He's a good player and I really don't understand some of the harsh criticism he's been getting.
I did and it was hit better than it looked at firstI think you need to watch EMC's goal again.
Absolute madness.Sadly, Dasilva signed a 4 year deal, he isn't going anywhere.
