PieEater Just to add. I wonder about Clement
He dropped probably our best player in the previous games - Illori and started without Bod. In hindsight that wasn't a good move.

CountryRoyal Mannone 5
Yiadom 6 - didn’t do a lot wrong but didn’t have quite the same impact as usual
McShane 5 - constant liability. Cumbersome on the ball and too many poor clearances.
Moore 6 - fine
Blackett 5
Meyler 3 - all over the place. Consistently out of position, misplaced passes galore and weak in the tackle.
Kelly 4 - really just doesn’t bring anything to the team at the moment, and hasn’t for a long time. No impact on the game and poor set piece delivery.
Swift 7 - it’s strange how people see the same game. Thought he was by far our best player and the only one demonstrating any quality in any capacity. Good footwork and decent link up play.
Meite 5 - innefective
Baldock 5 - innefective
McNulty 5 - ineffective
Subs:
Bod 5 - innefective
Bacuna 2 - appalling
Popa N/A - didn’t get long enough don’t know if he touched the ball.
I thought we showed some decent intensity and desire in the first half with quick “link up” play around the box and felt it was close to coming off on a few occasions. That was pretty much as good as it got and honestly beyond Meite’s penalty shout - which it should have been, we never looked like scoring. Completely blunt. No ideas, no quality, no points.
Not overly concerned yet but we really need to get off the mark sooner than later. It’s a shame we saved our worst performance for our most winnable game as a good opportunity has gone begging.
Also shocking attendance and atmosphere though maybe they were right to stay away. I’ll be up for it later but right now feeling no desire to go to Blackburn.

Hound He really wasn’t. Picked up the ball from deep and ran with a number of times. Didn’t think he slowed play down at all, just the opposite
Main problem was he got stuck on the wing. Should Have played central in place of Kelly
My ratings would be similar to CR though would take points off Yiadom - who I really like but had an off day and McShane

Interesting....
One of the problems was Swift not staying on the wing. First half Blackett had the wing all to himself and Bolton were targetting him because of it.
And imo he definitely kept slowing it down. Can think of a couple of very good breaks in the first half that stopped dead as soon as Swift got involved
