Player Ratings v Preston

Last updated : 11 December 2006 By Brian Cartlidge

Taylor - Terrible error for Preston's goal but made ammends with a brilliant save at 2-1.

Kelly - Played well again.

Jaidi - Dreadful!

Upson - Steady but obviously not fully match fit yet and struggled in the latter stages of the 2nd half.

Sadler - Played well and influential in the first two goals.

Larsson - Stifled but battled well.

Clemence - Dogged throughout.

Muamba - Never stooped running fgor 90 minutes and a first goal is surely forthcoming.

McSheffrey - Hat-trick says it all really. In a rich vein of form at present.

Bendtner - Not at his best all afternoon.

Jerome - Worked his socks off again but has to improve on his first touch.
