| Will be missed. Get well soon sir. (6) |

1-2 v Bolton Wanderers (a) 21st February 2009
by John Simkin |
|
| Spector did not need the kind of protection usually provided for Neill. Fairly quiet game and did not look like he had fully recovered from his injury. (5) |
|
0-1 v Manchester United (h) 8th February 2009
by John Simkin |
|
| Another all-action performance who provided excellent cover for Neill. The danger of Ronaldo meant he could make few forages upfield. (7) |
|
0-1 v Manchester United (h) 8th February 2009
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| A master class in how to deal with Ronaldo, who was reduced to petulantly moaning at anyone within 20 yards. Neill owes him a pint. (9) |
|
0-0 v Arsenal (a) 31st January 2009
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Another excellent 90 minutes from Pep – he never once let the home midfield settle. On the receiving end of some early “treatment” from the opposition, each foul met with the same phlegmatic and laid-back response as he simply picked himself up and got on with it. Did a fine job helping the skipper out on the right as well. (8) |

0-0 v Arsenal (a) 31st January 2009
by John Simkin |
|
| Spent most of the match covering for Neill and therefore made very few offensive breaks. One of the most important players in the side at the moment. (8) |
|
2-0 v Hull City (h) 28th January 2009
by John Simkin |
|
| Hunted down the Hull midfielders whenever they had the ball. Another very impressive performance by this workaholic. (7) |
|
2-0 v Hartlepool United (a) 24th January 2009
by John Simkin |
|
| Another all action performance from this extremely hard-working player. Was always a threat going forward and still found the time to protect Faubert. (7) |
|
3-1 v Fulham (h) 18th January 2009
by John Simkin |
|
| Another all action performance from a highly valued member of the team. He only just failed to close-down Konchesky for Fulham's goal. (6) |
|
2-2 v Newcastle United (a) 10th January 2009
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Not quite as effective as of late and he went to sleep for their first goal. (6) |
|
2-1 v Stoke City (h) 28th December 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Tireless. Didn’t stop running all day. (7) |
|
0-0 v Portsmouth (h) 15th November 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Got some good bursts in and his runs often ended up with us gaining free-kicks in decent positions. If only we could make more of them count. (7) |
|
1-3 v Bolton Wanderers (h) 5th October 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Must have had a frustrating day – got through loads of work but came away with nothing to show from it. (7) |
|
2-1 v Fulham (a) 28th September 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| With both he and Faubert now seemingly in the right positions he is now beginning to show more influence. (7) |
|
3-1 v Newcastle United (h) 20th September 2008
by Alex Shilling |
|
| Put some decent crosses in, but didn't really seem involved. (6) |
|
3-1 v Newcastle United (h) 20th September 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| A lot of hard work – much of it un-noticed by most. (7) |
|
4-1 v Blackburn Rovers (h) 30th August 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Much better in midfield, he found time and space to get round the bak a lot, something that contributed to the last goal. (7) |
|
4-1 v Macclesfield Town (h) 27th August 2008
by Graeme Howlett |
|
| Tenacious - but Faubert looked much better at right back. (6) |
|
0-3 v Manchester City (a) 24th August 2008
by Gordon Thrower |
|
| Not a right back for me. Given a rough time by Petrov. (4) |
|
0-3 v Manchester City (a) 24th August 2008
by Alex Shilling |
|
| Both he and Neill were taunted by the City wingers. Time after time crosses flew into the box unhindered. (4) |
|
2-1 v Wigan Athletic (h) 16th August 2008
by Nick Bull |
|
| Looked good going forward but our defending deep policy curtailed his forages forward. (6) |

|
| Impressive debut. Linked up well with Faubert down the right hand side. A few mistakes in second half, but generally played well. (7) |
