The Poolie Bunker

I honestly think overall it was a rather disappointing performance, you can't fault the effort from any one of them but some of our defending was bordering on the the eccentric and we could have taken advantage of a very dodgy back four/keeper more. We will play better teams in League One than Wednesday last night but if they where a bit a sharper they could have scored 6 or 7 against us which is a worry.

Budtz 6; His saves where worth a 9 out of ten, the other stuff was 4 out of ten. He can't kick either.

McCunnie 8; Hardly put a foot wrong in 120 minutes, looks a solid reliable player.

Nelson 8; Excellent until his Cardiff esque late gaff when he thought he was Alan Hansen!!

Antwi 5; All over the place at times, lacked communication with Budtz on several occasions some well dodgy clearances inside his own box. Carrying an injury?

Humphreys 8; Was excellent in the centre of midfield after Boland went off barely wasted a ball, I am amazed people are saying otherwise.

Robson 4; He didn't do anything right for a massive part of the game (at least 70 minutes!!) and I mean never found a team mate once. I thought the goal on Saturday might have helped his confidence but he really struggled last night. Loses a mark for wearing ridiculous yellow boots!!

Brown 5; His worst game for a while, struggled to get into but did well for the goal. Loses a mark for the yellow boots!!

Boland 5; Looked a little off the pace before his injury.

Liddle 7; Played well again but he needs to start producing a bit more in terms of end product especially when he is playing in the middle with the more defensive Boland.

Moore 6; Can't say much more than we have in previous outings, worked hard but it didn't really amount to much. Hopefully the goal will do him some good.

Barker 8; Absolutely worked his knads off work 120 minutes. He has blowing out of his arse late on but still kept running into the channels.

Subs;

Foley 6; Not as big an impact but he was asked to play on the left which I found a bit strange.

Monkhouse 6; Good to see him back, but surely he should have came on when Foley did?

Porter 6; Should have scored in the second half of extra time, but made a difference when he came on again.

Budtz - 7 Some quality saves but some absolute tripe - this bloke is Martin Hollund
McCunnie - 7 Quite solid, didn't do too much wrong, looks a decent signing
Nelson - 6 I thought he was poor, although that could have as much to do with the chaos going on around him!
Antwi - 4 Even we could hear Budtz shouting for the ball and about 3 times he totally panicked when no Wednesday player was near him.
Robson - 4 Just poor poor poor
Brown - 5 Looks tired already!
Bolland - 5 No chance to impress
Liddle - 6 Annonymous after Bolland went off
Humphreys - 7 I thought he had a great game although we did look a bit lightweight in the middle
Barker - 7 Didn't stop running but no real end product
Moore - 4 - Very lucky goal but surely this lad cannot keep his place.

Subs
Foley - 6 Had enough chances to win it but lacked any real composure in front of goal.
Porter - 7 Looked really good when he came on (gets an extra point for the back flick volley)
Monkhouse - 7 Thank god he's back.
