Having a usa moment. I present a near end of season report (cos I'm bored)..

Ruddy: B+ (would have been an A- if had not been selfishly injured)

Bunn: C+ (should have saved that shot yesterday but on the whole dependable)

Camp: D (that hair)

Barnett: D (bit of a scapegoat to many and probably just out of his depth at this level)

R Martin: B-(loads better than given credit for)

Whittaker: C+ (unfortunate with injuries and not as good as Black Pants)

R Bennett: C- (Grade increased from D due to yesterday)

Turner: B+ (he used to be shoite but now he's alroight)

Bassong: A (aside from occasional Murrayesque injury type tendency he shows great potential and should be captain)

Garrido: C+ (must get over fear of crossing)

Snoddmeister: A* (when confidence up has the fragrant whiff of a Hucks in full flow. One more game etc)

Howson: B- (seems to be getting some form back)

Tettey: B- (annoyingly inconsistent but always tries hard)

Wessi: A- (not been his best season but he is the creative heartbeat of the team. One more season from him I suspect)

Bradders: B+ (biggest improvement this season. One day he'll score. And then probably instantly retire)

E Bennett: B- (played out of position often but that's footy to a degree. Always willing. Will get better)

Surman: U (injured - like him but time to move on)

Pilks: C+ (injuries not helped him which is why perhaps he doesn't seem the threat he was. He needs to get it back and soon)

Fox: C- (great passer but not up to it. Time to move on)

Butterfield: U (injured so long can't judge)

Jacko: C- (has pace which we need desperately but not good enough at this level)

Becchio: D- (tricky to grade but not made much of an impact)

Kamara: C+ (impact player for me but the importance of his enthusiasm on the team cannot be discounted)

Horse: B (clearly a disappointment on last season but he tries hard and does other stuff for the club too so if this is his last season then I say a big thank you)

Hughton: C+ (I like him but I don't like his restrictive football. I hope that next season he goes for it more because when we do, at home, we get results)
