Good in parts but seemed short on pace and energy...got booked for bringing Sidwell down after being completely outpaced by someone who must be amongst the oldest in the league.
My frustration is really to do with the team selection Anag; as many others have said, it was just plain wrong.

I did forget the save by Carson about 1 minute in to the second half...I did see it but from the other end of the ground so didn't quite appreciate how good it was. I gave Bryson 8 because he did the job that he was presumably asked to do...but playing in such a deep role reduces his potential impact so much.

Basically the midfield was all wrong. We had no symmetry, or balance or possession. The thing that did it was the set up of the team. Unless Pearson learns quickly, we are destined to see an already mature and seasoned team unravel. That has been my fear from the point that Pearson was appointed. As Mistaram says, why doesn't he just have a chat with Darren Wassall...he could learn a thing or two. I suspect he won't though;

Not sure I can sit through many more displays like that though.
