Player Ratings

David James
Some good saves in the first half and a fine throw to set up the goal. Might have done better with the second which appeared to go under him.


Christian Dailly
Kept the niggly Fuller fairly quiet but not otherwise inspiring.


Wayne Quinn
Not the greatest of performances but nowhere near as bad as some were making out. Didn't deserve the abuse.


Ian Pearce
Poor. That's it really.


Robbie Stockdale
OK, one strange lapse in the second half aside. Fell victim to referees' strange reluctance to give us a penalty even for the clearest of fouls.


Hayden Mullins
Seems to be finding his feet at last.


Michael Carrick
Better than of late and was unfortunate not to score early on.


Don Hutchison
Looked ok but seemed to tire in the second half before being replaced by Deane.


Matthew Etherington
Started well but disappeared in the second half after the equaliser.


Marlon Harewood
Seemed strangely out of sorts.


David Connolly
Some good runs but guilty of taking an extra touch in the box a couple of times instead of getting his shot in.



Substitutes

Brian Deane
(Replaced Hutchison, 69) No noteworthy contribution.


Anton Ferdinand
(Replaced Quinn, 76) Got stuck in well in the 15 minutes he was on.


Neil Mellor
(Replaced Stockdale, 83) Not really enough time to make a difference.


Stephen Bywater
Did not play.


Kevin Horlock
Did not play.
