I just picked up a copy of the Sun and had a quick read of the match report from yesterday.
However, what gob smacked me was the match ratings!!!
Hogg - 7
Bamba - 5
Do they just pick these numbers out a hat???

Couldnt believe it myself..
For me anyway...only watching on TV....
Bamba, Stokes Miller and Riorden were excellent for us.
Also thought McBride had a good game...
Hogg was caught ball watching time and time again. Couple of good tackles but not Captain material IMHO.

Listening to football podcasts who are done by actual journalists, they say that the player ratings are the last thing they think about, which often explains some of the stupid values they put down.

I dont think i would have given 7 to any defender on the park yesterday. That said i would say Bamba was probably the best on view and Hogg the worst.

I'm going to get my tin hat looked out here as I know I'm going against the grain a little, but I don't feel Bamba has been any better than Hogg. Physically he is good as he's stronger and faster than most, but I wouldn't say he is playing better. If I remember correctly it was his man that got away from him to score on Sunday and he later lost him again only for the striker to miss his shot. I was at Blackpool and seem to recall bamba giving away the ball and then not defending as we lost the goal there.
Now I'm not saying that Hogg is brilliant just feel that he seems to be coming in for some unjust criticism. We aren't looking too strong at the back but we haven't done since Jones left IMO and I remember the abuse he used to get.

I heard Pat Nevin on FiveLive a while back, who said he knew for a fact a lot of the ratings are written by guesswork by those not at the game. There just isnt time to file your story by a modern 5.30pm deadline and write players ratings as well.

You actually read The SUN?
You actually expect anything in that grotty right-wing Murdoch rag to be factual or correct in any way?
Silly boy.
The only thing The Spun is half decent for is wrapping pie suppers in.
Guv.
