Hugh hands out the marks
Fabianski: Unsighted for the first through a crowd and poor defending let him down for the second but beyond that usual calm display 7
Zaba: Great to see him back and showed us all what had been missing during a good performance despite the team’s terrible frailties at times 6
Diop: Hasn’t been at his best since the Balbuena injury and uncertain at times 5
Ogbonna: Often all at sea and certainly not as tight to the Brighton runners as he needed to be 5
Cresswell: Very solid for the most part – looks to be the natural left back again 6
Rice: Came close to scoring his first goal in yet another highly composed display 7
Obiang: Eventually subbed for Noble after one of those okay but nothing special displays 5
Snodgrass: Gotta love the man – never stopped running and left nothing out there before being subbed 7
Anderson: Desperately frustrating first 45 but showed much more application after the break 6
Carroll: His days as a Hammer look done – not his system of play – and offered very little 2
Arnie: Back to his best after Burnley – all over the place giving everything along with two vital strikes 9
Subs
Noble: Game changer! At the heart of everything when he arrived and a great ball for Arnie’s strike 8
Antonio: Game changer Made a real nuisance of himself and provided all the energy that had been missing earlier 8
Perez: Err Perez was , well, just Perez 3
My favourite ratings so far this season, absolutely spot on. Thought it was a decent result and agreed that we showed character, especially happy to see Arnie turn up for the first time in a while.
Great comeback. Brilliant by Arnie..and pleased for Nobes and Antonio..one other thing is cresswell has to be kept in at left fullback..bar Burnley where we were all poor, he has come back in at looked more like the old cresswell. He’s someone I like.
Happy new year to all
I normaly think you mark a bit high hugh but today i would agree especially nobel and antionio who most certainly changed the game
Maybe too early to write Carroll off after his return from injury. In the past he has taken time to settle in (& then got injured again). But yes I think I agree his time is up- if we can find a replacement in January.
In the end a draw was not bad, but our failure to beat a mediocre mid table side after four attempts is a reminder that there is still work to be done if we are to be a solid top half side (let alone top 6 as some dreamers voted in the recent poll). That defence is being dug out of a hole every week by the attackers, but you can’t keep relying on that – as Watford & Burnley reminded us.
wow I actually agree with every single player rating for a change. lol
Great Sleeps – u wanna have a go sometime?

Actually I was only commenting on my ratings being exactly the same as yours. You are always so touchy about other peoples opinions.Relax.
Not touchy at all. I was merely asking. Why think the worst? U are a regular here and your ratings would be welcome should u wish to give them rather than being tied to responding to others. I think I’m probably a lot more chilled than you from what I read of your stuff.
