How the hell you've given Hiwula the highest rating of the subs I'll never know. Came on as a striker and was never in the box for crosses and generally awful positionally.Burge - 6: Couldn't do a huge amount with their tidy finish.
Sterling - 6: Been critical of him but he was pretty good tonight.
Willis - 6: Maybe generous, looked reasonable.
Hyam - 4: Thought he was pretty crap, came out defence a few times and gave it away every time.
Davies - 5: Won a lot in the air but got sloppy second half. Almost got fucked in the arse by their striker when he was dicking around outside our area.
Shipley - 2: Needs dropping, for his own good.
Doyle - 4: Did some good things but set pieces and passing was shambolic for a professional.
Bayliss - 4: Mostly shit, and an absolute pussy too. Need more from him.
Thomas - 4: Not really in the game it seemed.
Andreu - 3: Not gonna work in this set up like that, could be good if he played behind two strikers.
JCH - 6: Should have scored and it's disappointing, but generally he was one of the better players.
Subs:
Thompson - 3: Looked absolutely garbage. A boy out there tonight.
Jones - 3: Also looked garbage. Maybe the injury...
Hiwula -4: Needs a full game really.
Robins - 3: Shit set up, shit team selection (mostly), shit tactics. The only thing he got right was the centre back pairing and the last two subs. By that point it was far too late though.
We look so flimsy attackingwise and their defenders barely had a workout today. We play so deep and when we do finally get up their our final product and decision making is awful. The midfield is a massive concern too. They're all playing like zombies and seem to be having a competition as to who can give the ball away the most.

The same game as most other people on the thread...The other two subs were absolutely shocking. What game were you watching?
I gave Hiwula a 4, hardly ground breaking. Can hardly blame him coming to get the ball either, the midfield had gone to buy an ice cream.

Burge - 7 thought he did what we had to well
Sterling - 6 looks much more confident and positive in his actions fouled on numerous occasions
Hyam - 5 ok, but as mentioned lost the ball when he stepped out with it far too often
Davies - 7 looked solid. Happy to have him back in the side
Willis - 6 ok, nothing spectacular
Shipley - 5 was better in his execution tonight, some decent one touch stuff. Again though lack of pace and athleticism meant he lost the ball too often in attacking positions. Should have scored early on from JCH low cross but the ball went straight through his legs
Doyle 5 - dropped too deep especially in the second half. Age is starting too be a factor
Bayliss 6 - needs more freedom. Would have been a better choice to play the number 10 role tonight than Andreu
Thomas 5 - worked hard no end product
Andreu - 3 shite decision making, looked slow and his touch was poor
JCH - 5 not as effective as usual. Missed a sitter
Subs
Thompson - 6 thought he did well against Curtis out of position. Decent on the ball
Jones - 5 should have played Bayliss in at one point. Indicative of the fact he was trying to do too much himself
Hiwula - 3 where the fuck are you playing mate?
Burge 7 - inspires confidence in me nowadays
Willis 6 - fine
Davies 6.5 - solid
Hyam 6 - came out of defence too often but not that bad
Sterling 7 - looked pretty good and composed on the ball, finally
Thomas 6.5 - lively and skilful though obviously the final ball is still lacking
Bayliss 6 - loses possession too often by letting the ball get too far away from him
Doyle 6 - good free-kick at the end, saw him crunching into a few tackles, looked committed
Shipley 6 - looked all right to me
Andreu 5 - neat at times but had no effect on the game
Clarke-Harris 4.5 - will just never be good enough by doing the same act all the time
Thompson 5 - dwelling on the ball too much
Jones 6 - sparked us into some sort of life but repeatedly selfish and then faded
Hiwula 4 - what does he do?
Tbf I marked him off because I thought he was improved slightly and I felt sorry for him in the first half when he lost the ball in front of the city fans due to a poor touch and lack of pace. He was clearly pissed off with himself. He's no winger. Not at this level.Agree with most of that, apart from Shipley who I'd have marked down to a 4 because he was pulling out of challenges, especially second half.
Ah it’s the low mark for Jch isn’t it?Bizarre set of ratings
I like the idea of playing Bayliss as a 10 if we have somebody in midfield that could get the ball to himBurge - 7 thought he did what we had to well
Sterling - 6 looks much more confident and positive in his actions fouled on numerous occasions

Thats because we dont trust them to piss about at the back
Burge 6
Willis 6
Davies 6
Hyam 5 thompson 6
Sterling 6
Thomas 5
Doyle 5
Bayliss 6
Shipley 3 jones 6
Andreu 4 hiwula 4
JCH 5
Beaten by better team would of like to see bayliss further forward instead of andreu hopefully jones can start saturday ahead of shipley who is really struggling at this level.
And i wish our fans would calm down when we keep the ball, robins is trying to make us a posession based team but every time we move the ball across the back 4 our fans want us to leather it up the pitch
That's because when we pass it across the back it usually ends up with us getting pressured more and hoofing it anyway.
When i said we i was generalising and not including myself because I dont want to see the defence touch the ball meaning constant attack from us
