Rob Hutchison says: Decent result not to lose but absolutely sterile in the final third. A goalscorer a goalscorer, my kingdom for a goalscorer. Here are his one-word ratings …
CP – 8 commanding
AR – 6 organised
JS – 7 strong
WB – 6 sufficient
SV – 7 neat
SL – 6 workaholic
LC – 7 decent
JG – 6 pennatastic
AJ – 7 better
CW – 6 energetic
JA – 5 expected
SUBS
NSF – 6 ok
RA – 6 tippytappy
Maybe one day I can use the word Cosmic …
Seb has been Larssonic then?
pennatastic? Got to look that one up!
I did, and it’s a neologism pur sang. A Hutchism.
Matter of opinion of course but I would rate Seb and Jordi as Catt’s equals today. Alvarez looks as if he’ll become a matchwinner for us the more minutes he gets in his boots. Worth more than a 6 in my opinion.
Wickham is improving but needs to speed up his thought processes, take fewer touches in front of goal and look up occasionally.
Jozy’s effort in the 45th minute was the mirror image of his open goal against WBA at the back end of last season. We are all willing him to do well but…….patience is not inexhaustible.
Agree about Seb Malcolm. I thought he was our best player, and has been our player of the season so far.
