I voted Cork, but it's hard picking a stand out clear winner. I just think Cork has taken us to a new level and enables us to play the way NA wants us to play. He wins the ball, keeps it moving and can spot a good pass as well - I'm hard pressed to think of a better CM we've had in years and bargain of the season so far.

Totally agree with that.

 

I'm just baffled why a team like Swansea or QPR didn't sign him, he's such a bargain and he's a premiership level player IMO. I don't care though - at least we have him in our team, perfect fit.

I'm glad - for some reason I can't quite put my finger on - that my comment on the post-match thread that Cork was MOTM with an honourable mention for Seaborne seems to be agreed by many other fans according to the early results.

 

Davis made some good saves, but there were some communication problems at the back. E.g. when he came charging out and didn't appear to tell the defence that it was his ball to clear and when Fonte cleared with an overhead kick when Kelvin could have put his name on it and collected.

I didn't vote for him and not his biggest fan, but he did well today. Their front line targeted him and he was being bullied but stood up to the task as well as won everything in the air.

 

My sentiments too, it seemed like they saw him as the weak link.

 

I actually came out of the game more of a fan of him and less of Richardson, who I thought had a poor game yesterday. I would have predicted the exact opposite beforehand.

They targeted him because HE IS the weak link. I agree that he won almost everything in th air, but the whole concept of "time on the ball" seems alien to him.

Cork? Cork?!

 

He barely touched the ball and couldn't get in the game. I like him but thought he was well off the pace yesterday. Why do you think Millwall waltzed through at every opportunity?

 

There were no stand out performers but I've gone for Guly for the goal and his hold up play. Normally I find him very frustrating.

Exactly. We put a nice 10 passes together, the ball was played back to Seash*t with the intention of keeping the ball but without taking a touch, without looking around him, he just hoofed it. He is utter sh*t.

He was our best midfielder, without him we'd have not won the game. Fact.

Good grief. What game were you watching? Cork was superb.

Richardson was too easily outpaced by their left winger, bit worrying. Seabourne won some good headers but he looked dodgy overall. He did better when under pressure than when he had time to think.

 

'Out of his depth' is the term I would have used, but 'Dodgy' will serve just as well I suppose. In a squad that now has so many genuinely talented players at its disposal ordinary footballers like Seaborne, or Richardson for instance, look as out of place as a Transit van at a Ferrari Dealers.
