Player Ratings: Blackburn (a)

Last updated : 23 October 2005 By Brian Cartlidge

Taylor - One Excellent save first half. No chance with either goal.

Tebily - Terrible. Not a right back!

Lazaridis - Is a left winger - not a left back - and it showed.

Upson - Woeful! At fault for both goals conceded.

Cunningham - Seemed nervy. Poor.

Pennant - Can play better.

Johnson - If the rest show his will and determination then we have a chance of turning things around.

Butt - Got better as the game went on but clearly lacking match fitness after a four week break.

Clapham - Is a left back - not a left winger.

Heskey - Tried hard with little service.

Forssell - Lacking pace and a mere shadow of his former self so far this season.

Subs:
Jarosik - Made little difference.

Kilkenny - Eyecatching but the game was over by the time he was introduced.

Subs not used: Vaesen, Taylor, Pandiani.
