    Thought he was poor today.

    Yeah had some battles etc, but his actual control, passing and shooting was wayward.

    He should have made it 3 in the end - no wonder he was getting a rollicking off his teammates for it.

    He was no worse than McAtee

    I still feel sorry for him. He gives away constant fouls by just looking in the direction of the opposition, yet when he's clambered all over he's gets sweet fook all. He must feel so dejected. Should have done better late on though no doubt.

    There were a couple of times where he didn’t look anything like a footballer. I’m thinking the simple header down which he spooned in the air, the clearance where he connected with thin air and the counter at the end where his first touch was awful.

    I do feel for him a bit at times though as he never, ever gets a decision from the officials. Maybe I’m biased towards reds players but why does every 50/50 go to the defender?

    Yup.

    He’s unlucky at time with decisions etc, totally agree.

    But his battles aside, he was poor today.

    Not saying McAtee was any better, but at least his basics were better.

    I’ve said before, Cosgrove’s linkup play is poor.

    He’s being utilised as a nuisance really but when we don’t get the decisions, it’s frustrating.

    I like McAtee. Never stops running/chasing and shows a lot of nice touches. Hopefully he can bag another screamer soon.

    I thought he was pretty decent actually. I think Kane ended up being offside but Cosgrove had a nice touch and pass which set up Kane right through

    I am more than comfortable with him starting or coming on as sub. Decent player to have in a league 1 side.
    I didn't think he weakened our team at all today and he has played his part in a team that won last week and today
