Quick NCFC Match Ratings

Bunn (6) had a solid game, made some good saves and displayed good handling, he even came for one cross! Hardly dominant of his area but didn't cost us today.

Martin (5) was really poor again defensively but he popped up with a goal once again, hard to drop him when he's so prolific. Left back's not his position to be fair.

Bassong (5) looked ropey again. Lost Cole and Vaz Te far too many times. Needs to refind his old form.

Turner (6) got Bassong out of a bind many times. Made a few minor mistakes and looked poor on crosses at times, but not too bad.

R.Bennett (5) is not a right back in any way shape or form. He looked all over the place and offered very little going forward.

Pilkington (3) might as well not have been on the pitch. Lacked any control on the ball and offered Martin no protection.

Howson (4) is not a deep lying CM. We should all know this by now. His passing did improve in the second half though.

Tettey (5) worked hard but lacked any real quality on the ball. He has formed a bad habit of giving the ball away in dangerous positions, needs to cut that out.

Snodgrass (6) was inconsistent as ever on set pieces. One great free kick where he was unlucky to score. One of the few Norwich players to show attacking quality in open play, despite failing to produce any chances.

Hoolahan (4) had a bad day. He couldn't really cope with the Hammer's muscle. Correct decision to take him off, although many others could have followed.

Kane (4) offered very little. Didn't win headers and his link up play wasn't as good as it was against Man City. Holt is a massive loss if you're going to go by games like today's.

Subs:

E.Bennett (7) got an assist and was easily our best player. Who knew that defenders didn't like pace? He has to start ther next game.

Jackson (5) didn't change anything in all honesty despite working hard. Ridiculous to play him as a lone striker.

Fox (N/A) wasn't on the pitch long enough to judge.
