I am really disappointed, but I am also relieved that we did not concede victory and lose all 3 points along with team morale.
My ratings:
Kelvin Jack-8....to all those men including myself:) who bad talk Jack, we hadda shut up now, cuz de man earn his pick and turned in an excellent performance. I would be comfortable with him in goal during the abscence of Ince, especially since Shaka is lacking match fitness and confidence.
Dog- Made some clumsy mistakes, which I always pointed out. But, all in all, he is a quality defender with tons of experience, so he retains his place.
Tallest- Good performance, was solid at the back, and even passed the ball well when necessary, he retains his place.
Gray- my word!....he did not play a horrible game, but was quickly and easily spotted as our weak link in defense, hence the reason why all their plays came through his side. I do not think he is ready for int'l football. Atiba willl get back his spot, lord knows why he lost it in the first place, he will handle the right back position.
Theobold- not a left sided winger, and it is showing its ugly head. Nuff said. More effective in the middle. I would like to see either himself or Spann togther with Birchall in the middle.
Whitley- Disappointing, especially with the talent that he has. He brings nothing special to the team, and should be placed on the bench in my opinion.
Birchall- GREAT GOAL, played well for most of the match, but made a few passing errors. Was the most consistent on the night though. He retains his place.
Rahim- Not a right sided winger, and I do not think he should start in the center either. A strong substitute to call on, and that is how he should remain.
Stern- LAZY, WASTEFUL, and SLOW, he wastes to many opportunities before he can score. Someone else needs to step up.
Scotland- nothing to shout about. I would bench him.
My lineup for the next game.
Jack
Atiba Dog Lawrence Avery
Edwards Birchall Theobold/Spann Samuel

We really miss yorke and his work rate, as well as carlos and his courageous runs down the right.
