Best so far: Benteke (despite some Heskeyesque finishing at times!)

Worst so far: Bennett, Albrighton and Herd have all looked well short of what is required thus far

KEA has flattered to deceive but may need to adjust to the pace of the English game, something the  above three can't use as an excuse

Best is Guzan, with creditable mentions for Benteke, Westwood, Baker, Clark and Lowton

Satisfactory so far but room for improvement: El Ahmedi, Bannan and Bent

Jury is still out on: Bennett and Holman

Worst: N'Zogbia, Ireland and Gabby

Best - Guzan, mr consistency
Worst - Bent, his chances have been limited but he doesn't seem overly fussed and as our talisman we should expect more.

Best: Guzan - never been confident in a keeper to deal with corsses until he came along.

Worst: Albrighton, what a waste.

Best: Guzan - Good on crosses AND a great shot stopper.  Rarely seen both at B6 over the last 30 years.

Worst: Ireland - Absolute waster, over paid and over rated beyond belief.  Epitome of where we've gone wrong over the last 2/3 years.

BEST - Guzan

WORST - Delph, KEA or Albrighton

Pretty much sums it up

Pretty much sums it up



For me too, although Albrighton has had much fewer minutes on the pitch than the others.  KEA looks a yard off the pace to me but I'm hoping (blind faith?) that he catches up.  Delph doesn't seem able to fufil the early promise he showed when Stan wrote in a match programme right after we signed him that he was going to be something very special.  He isn't. 

As for our top performers, Guzan pushes Benteke out because he's been consistently ace.  Notable mentions for Lowton, Westwood and Weimann.  Bannan has had some good moments too but not enough of them - same with the Baker/Clark partnership.

Best - 1. Guzan, 2. Lowton, 3. Westwood
Worst - 1. Ireland, 2. Ireland, 3. Ireland - talent to be anything he wants, attitude and work ethic of participants of your average episode of Jeremy Kyle.

Guzan beneteke weeman are the players of our half season

unfortuc the 'no hope' has been the defence and midfield. I would only single out Ireland. Nzogbia. Gabby as they have epl experience too ! The others are still adapting
