LEP gave Ripley a 6, and Riis a 4.
I very much doubt it. He’s still at Manchester City.Ripley was fine today, in fact, he's been ok in all four of his games this season.
Ederson would have conceded the same amount today with the bag of bollocks that played in front of him.
Him & Riis the only players worthy of a 6 today.

Not acceptable really, although I’m sure most of these players would perform much better if they weren’t thrust in with all of the other reserves/back-ups, etc. Too much of a change and too many of our “weaker” players playing to give potentially more promising lads like Molumby, Earl and Bayliss much of a chance to impress.How did you rate our reserves today ?
Ripley 5
Rafferty 5
Earl 4
Storey 5
Bayliss 5
Stockley 4
I’d call the others regular 1st team squad members.

Worst team in the league battered us at Deepdale "we were lucky to get a point" and destroyed us yesterday. I think you need a reality check as to whats happening at our club.Sure, I see where you're coming from there. But they should also be doing better than a hammering from the worst team in our division if they want to be considered for the first team.
Ouch, that would really deplete us............imo you can add Potts,Barky and Sinclair to that list.
with a year left this summer, would YOU be looking to stay?
Without a mention of Potts.I don't blame him for concentrating on the league, my problem is that he is now sending a clear message to the youth players that he isn't going to develop them. That is shit and you all know I am an AN fan.
Stockley needs to fuck off this window. Riis need to play in his proper position. Ledson needs to not be an option if he isn't going to contribute anything. Baxter and O'Neill should be given a run out. 90 mins for Stockley? AN has given everyone a rod to beat him with on that shit.

We just rolled over and got what we deserved. An absolute gutless display and I hope some of these players never pull on a North end shirt again. It's not as if Wycombe Changed their approach, they just get in your face and see if your man enough to win the battles. Sadly we were found short once again.Think we can all see that Alex Neil doesn’t care at all about any cups. Even against Man City last season, he made changes in order to rest players for a league game.
We’ve been dreadful now 3 times on the spin in the 3rd round of the FA Cup when a plethora of changes are made. After Doncaster a couple of years ago, we never saw Burke or Crowe play for the club again. Last season against Norwich, it became clear just how poor Ripley was.
These games often seem to be a watershed moment for certain fringe players and how they are viewed by the manager and fans, and it just shows people how weakened we are when we do make quite a few changes.
Personally I think today has to be the final straw for a few of the players selected. Stockley was atrocious, as he has been all season. He offers nothing and needs to be offloaded this month. Rafferty and Storey look way out of their depth almost every time they play at the moment. The squad players in general at the back are really poor defensively and if we have to rely on any of them for an extended period in the league it will represent a major problem. This needs work during the window this month.
I don’t think anyone expects us to be able to field 2 really strong Championship XIs, but some of these squad men are way off the pace at this level and it needs addressing.
In agreement with you JK. Just baffles me why he won't play Hudson to give him the time. Or play Adam O'Reilly instead of Stockley in a 4231Made a couple of decent saves but he inspires zero confidence in me. He must have one of the worst goals per game ratio's of any keeper in our history.
There are questions over his fitness and attitude.
Shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team, hence we sought to bring a new keeper in within hours of Rudds injury.
We'd be playing wingers in that formation, so he still wouldn't have played over Ledson, Bayliss, Molumby in the middle.In agreement with you JK. Just baffles me why he won't play Hudson to give him the time. Or play Adam O'Reilly instead of Stockley in a 4231
Played a diamond and Molumby and Bayliss both pushed out wide when we played out from the back (Multiple times saw Bayliss trying to play down the LW when that's not his game. More of a central player). O'Reilly could have been on the left cutting in.We'd be playing wingers in that formation, so he still wouldn't have played over Ledson, Bayliss, Molumby in the middle.

Ledson Bayliss
Molumby, Potts, O'Reilly
Or even just use him as a sub if he ain't guna start.
Think you missed my point, I'm agreeing with you that Bayliss and Molumby aren't wingers, yet when we were playing out from the back they were pushed out wide to receive the ball. Didn't build any play using triangles through the middle of the park.They were central players in a diamond who occasionally occupied spaces in the channels. They're not your winger threats.
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see the lads blooded more, it would probably help their chances of a decent loan too.
Ledson, Molumby
Potts, Bayliss, Walker
Would have been more likely for me.

Hands up, walker would have been a better option on the left.
I also think I saw @baysidepne say on twitter that Earl isn't defensively good enough. So maybe Earl should be considered as more of a Winger/wing back
