2012/13 Match Notes & Ratings

4-2 v Reading (h) 19th May 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Went a bit AWOL early in the second half but otherwise a steady 90 minutes.

2-0 v Wigan Athletic (h) 20th April 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Had a couple of problems with Beausejour immediately after he came on but recovered his composure to have another decent game.

2-2 v Manchester United (h) 17th April 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Continues to improve well – defended superbly and got forward to support Vaz Te on the right. Involved in Diame’s goal.

2-3 v Tottenham Hotspur (h) 25th February 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Stuck to his task well throughout but he never seems to convince going forward.

1-1 v Queens Park Rangers (h) 19th January 2013
by Gordon Thrower

Did not play.

2-2 v Manchester United (h) 5th January 2013
by Gordon Thrower

(Replaced J.Cole, 78)
Most notable contribution was getting something on Collison’s knock-down that nearly led to Cole putting the game beyond reach.

2-1 v Norwich City (h) 1st January 2013
by Gordon Thrower

(Replaced Jarvis, 85)
Another quiet sub cameo.

3-1 v Chelsea (h) 1st December 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Had some dodgy moments against Moses but stuck to the task and eventually saw off his tormentor.

1-3 v Arsenal (h) 6th October 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Stuck to his task well under difficult circumstances up to his untimely departure.

1-1 v Sunderland (h) 22nd September 2012
by Gordon Thrower

One early lapse aside he wasn’t tested defensively. The withdrawal of Vaz Te, with whom he combines well, reduces his force going forward.

0-0 v Norwich City (a) 15th September 2012
by Robert Watson

Defended solidly and kept the Norwich wingers fairly quiet. He was always trying to bomb on in the attack but lacked that killer ball.

3-0 v Fulham (h) 1st September 2012
by Stuart Jones

Concentrated more on his defensive duties than when playing here against Villa a fortnight ago but Fulham got no change from him whatsoever.

3-0 v Fulham (h) 1st September 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Continues to improve out of all recognition from the player who had such a dodgy play-off final. Combined well with Vaz Te and treated us to a cheeky back heel in the second half.

0-3 v Swansea (a) 25th August 2012
by Tom Kilbey

Largely built on his first game, looking strong and quick. When Jarvis was on the right, he would do well to get forward more and help Jarvis to deliver crosses from wide areas.

1-0 v Aston Villa (h) 18th August 2012
by Gordon Thrower

A much better game than his last run-out (at Wembley). Harder tests will come and I remain to be totally convinced but there were a few signs of a nice right side combination developing with Vaz Te.

2011/12 Match Notes & Ratings

2-1 v Blackpool (n) 19th May 2012
by Gordon Thrower

A bit of a shocker really. Looked well off the pace before his injury-prompted substitution. Maybe a full pre-season will help .

3-0 v Cardiff City (h) 7th May 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Continues to improve – not least with the quality of his delivery into the box which has gone from being laughable in his early matches to being genuinely dangerous over the past couple of weeks.

2-0 v Cardiff City (a) 3rd May 2012
by Staff Writer

A much better performance and no hint of the silly mistake that cost a goal the previous weekend against Hull.

2-1 v Hull City (h) 28th April 2012
by Gordon Thrower

A couple of good blocks but still doesn’t have to have got the pace of the game yet. Not the greatest of crossers and quite what he was up to for their goal lord alone knows.

6-0 v Brighton & Hove Albion (h) 14th April 2012
by Gordon Thrower

Lacks a little bit of match fitness – understandably so given the rotten luck he’s had with injury.
