Here's how I scored the lads against Sunderland.
Keller – 6/10
Conceding three at home won’t go down as one of his better days, although he was left totally exposed by the ineptitude of the defence and did manage to pull off a couple of fine saves to keep the scoreline respectable.
Konchesky – 5/10
Frustrating. Every time he makes a run he checks back. Just run with the ball for f***’s sake.
Hangeland – 1/10
Woeful.
Hughes – 2/10
At fault for Sunderland’s second. I say it again – he needs to make way for Boca.
Stalteri – 5/10
Reasonably solid. Had to make way for Roy’s attacking changes late on.
Bullard – 7/10
An A for effort. Dynamic in the first half, ran out of puff in the second.
Murphy – 6/10
Not a bad game – for him. One great bit of skill followed by two dire passes but hey.
Andreason – 5/10
Totally ineffective.
Davies – 5/10
Tried but didn’t make much headway. The moment he did a complete 360 while in position of the ball – and then lost it – summed up his afternoon.
Kamara – 7/10
Full of running. Was one of the only players on the pitch to show desire.
McBride – 6/10
The spirit is willing; the body is weak. All I saw was an old pro out there today.
Substitutes
Dempsey – 5/10
Failed to make much of an impression
Healy – 7/10
Electric. Turned the game around with a wonder goal and full of passion.
Bouazza – 5/10
Okay. Nothing special.
Man of the match: David Healy. For making us believe...albeit for just a few minutes.

Agree with you about Kamara. I thought he worked really hard and was a little unlucky a couple of times. I've slated him at times this season but he put in a good shift on Saturday. Bullard was disappointing, too often I thought he dropped deep to collect the ball and then did no better with his distribution than one of the defenders could have done.
Healy made an impact and deserves his chance in the first eleven. Oddly I felt Davies would have been my man of the match, I thought he was lively throughout and offered more than any other midfielder in terms of creating good chances.
Hangeland was shocking but I reckon Hughes was worse. Boca definitely deserves a run we really can't get any worse and have nothing to lose.
and the strange thing was that kamara was getting all manner of abuse around me...and even Healy didn't get a great reception when he came on.
the defensive frailties of Hangeland and Hughes have cost us big time during the past couple of matches.
Kamara's suffering the same fate as Baird. Once people have made their mind up about someone they don't see any of the good things they do. I wasn't that excited by the arrival of Healy but I think he showed us all what he's capable of. The problem is if Healy starts who plays alongside him?
Alongside Healy? Well what about Nevland. Put in a couple of decent performances up front on his own, then nothing has been heard of him since. Mystifying. Bring him back I say.
