We dont want wagner to be manager of the month! Never bodes well for the team.
My take on the game
Ward- kept us in it with a class save and some other good saves
smith- looked good enough first half going forward. Bit more shakey second half with some loose passes, but solid none the less
hudson- solid but still had some nervy moments, some good blocks/tackles too
schindler- if lynch was a rolls Royce of a defender. Then whats this guy? Never looked flustered and times his tackle and interceptions well
löwe- think he's going to be the best left back we've had for a very long time. Might score a few more like he did against barnsley. Looked good defensively too.
hogg- ran a tightrope for me after that booking. But he looks a completely different player to that of the last few seasons. Keeps it simple and protects the back four
mooy- in the a league he was known for pinging the ball around. Here he seems to want to dictate play. Slow it down speed it up but he keeps the ball moving. Disappeared second half for me.
rajiv- beats himself sometimes and will infuriate during games and over the season. Lesson for today. Dont boo players or it will bite you on t'ass
palmer- first half seemed to have a bit about him. Just slid across the pitch. Needs to get on the same wavelength as the other attacking players though
kach- works hard, strong, was good today without standing out. Think he prefers it down the middle and we may see him down there more often.
wells- another infuriating player for me atm. Work rate has gone up. His overall play has improved. But when players were advancing in the first half down the middle or wings in the first half, he didn't seem to be getting into the box enough. That being said there didn't seem to be many options in box at times, too many lurking outside the area and it happened when wells moved into the channels.
Subs- payne looked lively put himself around a bit and it will be good when he and palmer fully adjust to this level etc
bunn- he runs a lot but he seemed to tire back end of the second half. Didnt seem as quick as he used to imo.
scannell- wasnt on enough, but his work rate has improved over the last year or so. Next improvement is end product, either crosses/assists or goals.
