Today's team:
Cisak....Apart from pick the ball outta the net, very little to do. Needs to make his mind up sooner and let others around him know his intentions....7
Lee..... Our 'rookie' right back who couldn't get a game two years ago, great to have him back today. Mr consistent and consitently excellent, best right back in League 1 and sadly probably earning his corn in The Championship next season......8
Diamond..Solid again and a goal to boot, galvanised the back four and won more than he lost in the field....8
Big John.Won everything in the air and played the ugly side of the game well, still needs to learn where row z is but welcome back big man....7
Black....Better than Mellor in that position but still our weak link; in the words of the song..'Black is Black'!....6
Luca.....Good feet but far from Premiership class, cost us a goal with his dallying but scored at the other. Had some good touches and cameos but needs to toughen up...7
Adeyemi..He ain't no Wes...in and out but not enough in, if you get my drift! Not a central midfielder but gets around the pitch, just lacks in all departments...6
Furman...Not his best game but was there when needed and did a job...7
Taylor...Probably his worst performance for a while, failed to have an impact at all. Think his head's on his next contract or Anfield....6
Parker...Poor out wide, all pace and no end product. Looked a different prospect through the middle, think he'll make way for Simpson next week...6 wide 7 up top
Kuqi.....It's all about Shefki or is that Mr Petulant! Looked out of sorts and needs a rest in order to bring him down a peg or two, anyone notice his non-celebration for the winner. You ain't Messi Shefki, get rid quicker instead of keep losing the ball like you did for one of their goals....6
Morais...Much better than Boxing Day, good energy and ball movement, capped off with a goal....however fortunate it was to go in!....7

Lee
Diamond
