Here's how I scored our lads on Sunday's performance against Blackburn Rovers.
Niemi - 8/10
Another outstanding display and wasn't at fault for either of the goals.
Baird - 5/10
Allowed Warnock to dominate on the left - and we paid the price.
Hughes 6/10
An okay display.
Stefanovic - 6/10
Again, an okay display. I like his presence at the back.
Konchesky - 5/10
Very rusty...Finger of blame could be pointed at him for both of their goals.
Simon Davies - 6/10
Not his usual assured display. Disappointing by his high standards although put a nice ball in for Kamara's goal.
Davis - 6/10
Battling display but we were over-run in midfield.
Murphy - 5/10
Apart from putting away an excellent penalty and scything down David Bentley to the delight of most fans, he was his usual invisible self and his passing was atrocious...again.
Bouazza - 5/10
Anonymous.
Dempsey - 6/10
The usual tremendous effort but could have prevented Blackburn's second equaliser when Warnock sneaked behind him.
Kamara - 6/10
How frustrating? He put in a decent shift and was on hand to finish off a great move but failed to make the most of a virtual one-on-one with Friedl in the first half.
Substitutes
Kuqi - 7/10
Very close to scoring his first Fulham goal. Loved his passion and commitment.
Healy - 6/10
Good when he eventually came on.
Ki-Hyeon - 5/10
Battled but pretty ineffective.
Man of the match: Antti Niemi. Simply kept us in the game.

Rob, why is Baird supposed to be dealing with Warnock? Who deals with Baird's man when Baird goes to cover the opposing left-back then?

Hi Rich
I agree that Baird can't be blamed for the last goal as Dempsey should have been covering for him...however, the point i was making was that on a number of occassions Warnock was allowed to scamper down the wing and put testing balls in which was Baird's responsibility to cut out because he was actually over that side and not covering anyone else.
I disagree. Bairds job the whole game, was to man mark Pedersen. As a left winger who has been touted for united, he was very ineffectual. and Baird should be praised for that IMO
