Immediate post match ratings v Cardiff

[blackandwhite56]

Just a few points I would perhaps alter a little. Firstly how you give a defender motm against a team who rarely threatened going forward I would perhaps disagree with. Plus Martin and Weimann only getting 5 and 6 against a side who have only conceded 1 goal in the last 6 games, I think a little unfair. We could have won by 4 or 5 today. Both showed great movement at times, perhaps you and your 11 mates are a little blinkered when it comes to Weimanns contribution

Defenders do more than just defending and Warnock worked tirelessly, heard numerous people saying he was man of the match post match. If we could have won by 4 or 5 then that would have meant scoring every chance that we had because there wasn't too many clear cut chances. You kind of contradict yourself saying that we could have scored that many when those two would have probably been on the end of those chances. And regarding Ma

Carson 8
The irony for any goalkeeper is that he (or she!) can only stand out if called upon to make saves that are beyond the call of duty, which relies on the opposition having lots of chances. When that isn’t the case, they can only stand and stare, and achieve a mediocre rating. Well, I’m giving Frank an 8 because he only had two saves to make all game. One was outstanding: the lively Jones cut the ball back to Noone who thumped in a goalward effort from 20 yards with some clout. It was at a nice height admittedly for big Frank but it was also tavelling. No sweat, Frank had advanced out to a yard beyond his 6 yard box and smacked the ball full on the nose, before Cyrus hoofed clear. Frank exudes a granite-like solidity, and his gap-toothed grin and all-round chunkiness would fit him well for a future career as an ice-road trucker, wrestling bears, and eating Yorkie bars in two bites. Lee Grant looks on with an air of resigned idleness.
Frank spent the rest of his game
