Wildsmith 6 - stood behind his wall for the first goal.  Two decent stops in second half.  Not at fault for other two goals.

Palmer 3 - At fault for second and third.  Not good enough.  
Loovens 6 - Got spun in the build up for second goal but had a largely decent game.
Lees 5 - All over the place this season.  What's gone wrong?
Pudil 7 - Promising debut.  Great cross for Nuhiu's header.

Hutchinson 4 - Stupid tackles all over the pitch.  First one gave them their goal.  Passing awful.  Rubbish
Lee 7 - Another good performance.  Our player of the season so far

Wallace 6 - Not enough quality on his crosses
Bannan 6 - Works hard and can pick a pass.  Tired badly in the second half.  Think he'll be ok.
Forrestieri 7 - Looks class, worked excellently in partnership with Nuhiu.  A few long range efforts.  Certainly makes the opposition defence think and is going to become a star.  

Nuhiu 9 - Awesome performance to be honest.  If we could capture this every week we'd have a class act.  Looks like he will benefit from having Forestieri as his partner and Pudil and Bannan should be able to pick him out if he keeps getting in the right position.  

All in all we simply weren't good enough defensively or in the centre of the pitch.  Semedo needs to come in to add stability alongside Lee.  Matias for Wallace, Palmer for Hunt and Turner for Lees would be my other changes for Bolton.  Westwood will be a massive boost when he returns.

If Hutchinson's passing was so awful, how come he is the first Wednesday player for almost two seasons to play 90 minutes and get a pass completion rate of over 93% yesterday?

I wouldn't blame Palmer at all for the first goal & thought he was given a terrible pass to put him under pressure for the third. while he wasn't blameless, Gray deserves credit for chasing it down but the ricochet was incredibly lucky for them.

The two errors that cost us the match were the miss by Nuhiu & the error by Loovens - a shame because otherwise, both played well. Unfortunately, it is these moments that determine the difference between winners & losers.
