Player Ratings Tonight

Collin - 6 - felt for him tonight. Left totally exposed by a shocking defensive performance from those in front of him

Hunt - 6 - the best of the back 4 which isn't saying much at all. He offers something going forward and did his best to get things going down the right hand side. Defensively not great, but for me was just about our best player tonight

Broadfoot - 4 - never been a Championship defender. Slow and clumsy. Why Evans prefers Broadfoot over Richard Wood I'll never know

Arnason - 4 - had a total stinker, if we had any other decent defensive options I'd be looking to give him a couple of games on the bench, but we don't.

Fryers - 4 - Totally unconvinced by this guy. What does he actually do well? Looks shaky defensively and offers little going forward. Very very poor

Newton - 4 - Tonight was screaming for Hammill on the right hand side from the start. Newton was poor against Millwall and even worse tonight. He is not and will never be a right midfielder. What does Evans

Correct on all points, a half fit Morgan would still walk into that defence...

Collin: 7 Made a couple of really good saves second half. Must be a nightmare being in goal behind our hopeless defence.

Hunt: 7 Best of the back four, better going forward than defending.

Broadfoot: 2 Simply dreadful, awkward style. Plays like he has wooden legs and real feet and so slow, he looks like he's running in treacle! Funniest thing was seeing him playing up front second half, laughable!

Arnason: 3 Without Morgan alongside him, he's actually quite poor. In fact, he looks way short of Championship quality.

Fryers: 4 Looks dodgy in possession and can't tackle. Everyone tells me he has tremendous pace, but what good is that when playing full back and you can't defend?

Newton: 3 Two dire displays in four days, a disappointing signing I think. Not Championship quality.

Smallwood: 5 Previously one of our better performers but tonight was as bad as everyone else. Caught in possession too often and unconvincing in tackling. Green and Smallwood shouldn't start together, too al

I couldn't get last night due to work commitments but was Broadfoot only worthy of a 2? He did ask us to reserve judgement on him after we'd seen him play in his favoured centre back position as opposed to fullback.

The entire back line seems out of sorts at the most worrying time at the business end of the season. Hope we can strengthen the defence as I fear particular humiliation in the upcoming derbies at Huddersfield and v pigs if it's not addressed.

Rotherham should be OK as long as Millwall don't sack Holloway, because if a new man comes in then that usually means a 5-game honeymoon.
