Burnley v Nottingham Forest - Player Ratings

[Vino blanco]

From tv
Muric 7 no chance with goals, Forest’s high press gave him little option to pass out
Assignon 4 not sure if he should stay or not, he could be strong the the Championship
O’Shea 5 still not convinced about his positional play or marking
Esteve 6 should be Ok for the Championship
Taylor 4 he’s really gone downhill this last few games
Larsen 5 average in bits
Cullen 6 seemed lost at times
Berge 6 one of quieter games
Odobert 6 tried hard and ran a lot but he is inexperienced
Amdouni 4 when I first saw him, I though this lad’s got talent, where’s it gone
Forster 4 looking totally lost at the moment
Vitinho 4 no end product whatsoever at the moment
JBG 7 I would have kept him for next season

This season started off disastrously with a bunch of new young signings thrown together to face up to the best teams in the PL: after our home defeat to Palace in early November I said on here we look like a team heading for relegation. We rallied slightly after Xmas with the signings of Assignon and Esteve to give us more height and strength in defence, this was then helped by the long overdue return of Cullen and more so Muric. However, we were never ever going to be able to compete in the PL with this squad and neither am I convinced we will bounce back next season with this same squad. I can not imagine what our starting eleven might be next August.
