Pope 3 - very little if anything right tonight. Early mistake sets the tone.

Bardsley 6* - pretty solid defensively and an assist
Long 4 - Exposed, constantly
Tarkowski 5 - Part of a backline that struggled all night
Taylor 4 - weak defensively, offered nothing going forward. Is he carrying a knock?

Brownhill - 4 - anonymous
Westwood 6 - including one for the goal
Stephens 5 - Crab like, but won the ball a bit
McNeill 5 - Some bursts, no overlaps and very little in the way of options meant that his potency was reduced

Wood 4 - Poor tonight
Barnes 5 - Small bits

JBG - 5 small bits

Edited to give Long a 3 when I realised you can’t go lower

Pope - 1 doesn’t deserve anything for that performance. He was a hinderance to the team rather than a help.
The rest 3

Dyche - 1 why is he playing people out of position. Play to our strengths play people in there correct position or don’t play them.

Pope has been faultless for years but that was his worst ever game for us by some margin, conditions were poor but the mistakes weren’t down to that

Genuinely this is a time when the lowest score permitted should be less than three.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 10:05 pm

Pope 3 very unlike him

Bardsley 5 best of a bad bunch
Long 3 end of the line
Tarkowski 4 I’ll be generous and say rusty
Taylor 4 difficult on his own

Brownhill 3 offered nothing
Westwood 4 good finish but that was it.
Stephens 3 just woeful again
McNeill 3 time for a rest?

Wood 3 little service at all
Barnes 3 I hope his fitness improved at least

JBG - 3 I didn’t even realise he was on

That really was an appalling game of football and I wouldn’t be getting carried away if I was Newcastle. I hope this is just a slow start rather than the negativity from the top feeding down but I have my doubts.

Pope 3 - All over the show from the 1st whistle

Bardsley 6 - Our best defender on the night
Tarks 4 - Looked like he couldn't be arsed a few times
Long 3 - Woeful, nowhere near the level needed
Taylor 4 - Offered nothing going forward, and got squared up too easy for 2nd

Brownhill 4 - Offered nothing
Westwood 5 - Delivery was crap. Passed sideways. Good finish. Plus 1 for goal.
Stephens 5 - Better 2nd half when he passed forward. Too many sideways passes.
McNeil 5 - Got on ball more when he came central 2nd half , but the disappeared again.

Barnes 3 - Awful. Crap service into him, but he has to offer more.
Wood 3 - As above.

JBG 4 - Didn't really do anything

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 10:07 pm

Pope - 3 by far the worst I've seen him for us
Bardsley - 5
Long - 3 should be playing for Blackpool not Burnley so much out of his depth
Tarkowski 5
Taylor 5
Brownhill - 5
Westwood - 6
Stephens - 4 hopefully he grows into his role as he looked lost
McNeill - 4 another quiet game
Wood - 5
Barnes - 5
Gudmundsson - 5

If you stand still in this league you go backwards, we've actually gone backwards, so no surprise performances and results are how they are.

You'd like to think that might make Mike wake up, but I'm not convinced it will.
How he has even let us get to this is baffling.

Tarks 4
Taylor 4 Skinned for pace
Brownhill 4. Inc 1 for playing out of position
Stephens 4 invisible
Westwood 5 inc 1 for goal
McNeil 4 just looks fed up like me
Wood 3 amazingly awful
Barnes 6. At least he showed a bit of fire and won 5 or 6 fks in decent positions

Dyche. Go or get it sorted before we play West Brom in a must win game

Bad day. Too many players away somewhere else.
Our midfield, collectively, was one big, headless chicken for the first half.
We've been beaten by two ordinary sides we ought to be able to compete against now.

Pope 3 Howler Wiltshire game for us

Tarkowski 5 doesn’t look that arsed
Taylor 4 unusually poor game
Brownhill 5
Stephens 4 offers us nothing. Garbage.
Westwood 6

A rotten performance. Think Dyche’s negativity has rubbed off on the players and his tactics were woeful. Shambolic. As bad as it gets. When Dave The Vicar is giving 3s and 4s you know it’s been abysmal.

Apart from 15 mins after half time we were very very lacklustre and devoid of confidence

Pope 5 - looked shaky
Bardsey 6 - put himself about
Long 5 - all over the place
Tarks 5 - looked half arsed
Taylor 6 - done for the 2nd but he was our most forward wide player for most of the game
Stephens 4 - for 15 minutes looked a bit better but otherwise anonymous
Westwood 5 - at least he scored. Good goal too
McNeil 3 terrible but has been weary for some time
Brownhill 4
Wood 6 grafter. No service
Barnes 6 ditto

Jbg - 5 ended up in the middle????

Pope 3 - looked terrified all night. First touch worse than mine. Had he been told he would start vs Wales?
Bardsley 6 - did his best to rough up St Maxim (sp) and stuck at it. Expert at realising when some timely thuggery cam benefit us.
Tarkowski 5 - looked like his mind has been elsewhere recently, but at least he isn’t on strike
Long 3 - useless, totally useless. Not Long, even though he was partly at fault for the first 2 goals (fouled but weak for the first). Dyche. Putting a League 1 defender in at this level for so many games......shameful. Can’t blame the chairman for lack of backup.
Taylor 5 - exposed at the back and poor delivery
Stephens 6 - tried to keep us ticking over and got stuck in
Westwood 6 - good goal and key to raising the tempo for 20 mins
Brownhill 4 - fairly anonymous
McNeil 4 - never got into dangerous positions
Barnes 7 - won fouls that only he can win, created some chaos and nearly scored
Wood 5 - nothing really happened for him

Gudmundson 5 - quiet

What was worrying today was the number of minutes in the game when we looked like we wanted the game to just come to us instead of taking it by the scruff of the neck. Only 20 minutes of good tempo from minute 46.

Feel a bit sorry for the players. We are in the midst of a global pandemic. Most players probably live in an area with local restrictions. At work they have a weird testing regime. Worrying about if their teammates carry it, pass it onto them, and they can then infect older relatives etc. It’s a stressful time. So not getting reinforcements, knowing the manager and chairman are at odds, impending takeover uncertainty, no fans - so tough for our players. They have my sympathy. Especially Long. Not his fault he’s out of his depth, what I would say about him is he never gives up.
