LJ 1?! I think as most would agree that we were better in the second half, and considering LJ was on during that half, I think something fishy is going on here...........indulging in a bit of subtle LJ bashing perhaps?! I didn't go, so don't know exactly how he played, but 1 seems a touch harsh?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful Haha, well as I say I didn't go, so technically can't judge, so at this point I have to take your word. However Midge, who apparently also went to the game, has just started another thread saying how he saw the game, and he says LJ played well when he came on.........who to believe?!?!

Ealing Robin Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 thoose ratings are awful noble and trundle didnt put in a 8/10 performance did they honstly mate, they wernt on for long and they didnt do a mass amount so for them to warrent 8's is a tad genourous and johnson had a good game when he came on to be fair to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackojacko14 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 What game were you watching? LJ played really well when he came on, we looked much more balanced and had more of an attacking threat. And giving Lee Trundle an 8 is a bit generous seeing his first touch was 5 minutes after he came on, and it was with his hands to pick up the ball. He didnt play bad, but he didnt play THAT good, he was only on for 10 mins, no time too effect the game what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope u don't get one next year then mate , because your clutching at straws how many chances does trundle need , i like everyone else want it to work but it aint going to happen , he hasnt got it consistantly at this level , agree would love to see a little more of nobes but he doesnt help himself he can only last for about 60-65 mins then fades badly , you ever read gazzas book rated noble as one of the best talents outside the prem but and thats it BUT !

So fans with an opinion like myself, you hope don't get a season ticket next year? that might be quite a few then. Successful teams are those which get the mix of flair players and workhorses right, too many of one or the other don't work. Noble will never get match fit at City because he's never allowed to play 90 minutes. There i go again clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeeebles Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Basso 10 Skuse 8 Fontaine 6 McCombe 7 Mcalister 4 Elliott 8 Sproule 7 Mcindoe 7 Johnson 1 John 4 Maynard 4 Trundle 8 Noble 8 I have to respect the fact that you went to the game Block and i didnt so i can only offer my opinion on your marks by what i heard on the radio. It sounded as though Maynard missed a couple of good chances in the second half (an unbelievable miss said Louis Carey about the first one) and yet he got a 4. .....Johnson gets a 1....for what.....every set piece barr 1 went to SW........christ i have seen players get sent off for punching somebody's lights out resulting in their team losing the game because of it and they still get more than 1.....still well done for going all that way to follow the boys.

There i go again clutching at straws. thats there choice , ive been getting my season ticket for 20 years , as you get older you get wiser , i know things are difficult at the moment but we have had 3 years of basically winning alot more games than losing them , and now we have hit a sticky patch people are chucking there opinions around as if there is no tomorrow , we have no divine right to keep winning and fast tracking to the top, people seem to think because we got promoted 2 years ago we were going to get to the pre then the champions league , even then some people on this forum would moan we should have played 2 up front away to barcalona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtucks Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 They did mate....i was there....different class when they came on So was I mate, and you are talking absolute rubbish. What exactly did Trundle and Noble do in the ten minutes they were on to warrant 8? Did Trundle actually touch the ball other than for the penalty claim? Noble made one good defensive block (pity he didn't show as much effort in the same situation at Preston). Basso's kicking wasn't exactly great, so a 10 for him??? Strange how we took control in the second half after LJ came on. I don't say it was entirely due to him but he certainly had an effect. So a mark of 1 out of 10 is ridiculous. Although you say you were there, you either obviously weren't watching the game, or you feel the need to mark players according to whether they are your favorites (or not), rather than how they actually played.

NickJ Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Here's my marks and briefly why. Basso 8 - didnt concede a goal, for a start, no mistakes I can recall, and a couple of clever quick kicks out to Sproule to set up a counter attack Skuse 7 - did ok, he's a better midfielder than right back and the winger got around him a couple of times Fontaine 7 - typical steady Fontaine game McCombe 7 - dominant in defence but should have scored Mcallister 5 - ok defensively but distribution poor Elliott 7/8 - that's 7 first half in midfield 8 second half at right back Sproule 7 - lively game right from the start for a change Mcindoe 7 - worked tirelessly but gets marked down from an 8 because playing so narrow meant McAllister was exposed on several ocassions Johnson 6 - plenty of sideways and backwards passes but only one successful forward one and didnt make one single tackle John 4 - awful Maynard 8 + 4 divide by 2 = 6 - 8 for the lively performance, 4 for the finishing Trundle 8 - that's 8 for the 9 minutes he was on, defenders clearly so worried by him had to shirt pull Noble 8 - that's 8 for the 9 minutes he was on, didnt lose the ball once and made the only run at the opposition defence (brought down for a free kick) by any of our midfield during the entire game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Over-generous to Trundle & Noble, they both looked OK, but didn't really have time to make a telling contribution. I did wonder if we needed a bit more flair slightly earlier, as there was not a great deal of real quality on display from either side, and plenty of mis-placed passes. In fairness, I don't think that the conditions were easy, but that can't excuse Maynards awful miss, the keeper did not even come out to narrow the angle! Bassos early save low to his right was quality, so he fully deserved a high mark, and no way was LJ worth as little as 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could only get marks based on time on pitch, they could have a maximum of 1 - and LJ could have a maximum of 5 - which is plainly ridiclous!

And on another point, I think LT and DN should start, however, I can follow GJ's reasoning to have them on the bench, especially away from home, but 9 minutes isn't really long enough.

Fair enough then. Think its a bit of a stupid way to rate a player tbh but each to their on i suppose.

Funny, both Noble and Trundle go 5's in the all the papers I read this morning. I'm barring all my opinions of LT, this is the reason why I am so vocal over him! How the hell can a player get 8/10 AFTER 10 MINS???? Assists? Goals? Space creating? Please what was it? Could you read the opposing players minds and they were thinking "Oh no, Lee's on" Please take of your LT tinted glasses and please GJ, get rid of this man in January and maybe all this madness will stop!
