Given - 7/10 - Made a great save to deny Wright-Phillips in the second half and could do nothing to prevent the goal. Otherwise he had very little to do despite QPR's pressure
Hutton - 6/10 - Looked a little shaky to start and booked for a desperate lunge but grew into the game in the second half. Linked up well with Bannan on occasions and got forward slightly more than past couple of games. 2 penalty shouts against him for handball, both could have been given. Needs to learn to keep his arms tucked in!
Collins - 7/10 - Looked solid throughout however his inability to deal with a hoof up field led to the equaliser. Should never have lost that battle
Dunne - 9/10 - Such a shame that he conceded the OG right at the end. It couldn't have been prevented, just one of those things. Otherwise he was immense once again. Game after game proving that he isn't passed it yet, top performance
Warnock - 5/10 - Booked for a rash challenge on Barton (no harm done there!) and conceded possession in dangerous positions on a couple of occasions. Got forward willingly and got into some good positions but as a defender I have to rate him mainly on his defensive showing and, for me, it wasn't up to scratch
Petrov - 5/10 - Once again looked off the pace. Not really his fault, he just hasn't got the legs anymore. Booked for a bit of a wild challenge and gave away too many fouls
Delph - 6/10 - Found space coming forward but should have done better in front of goal with 2 very good opportunities. Caught in possession a few too many times but definately has potential
Ireland - 5/10 - Struggled to get involved for a large part of the game. Had a couple of decent moments but definately room for improvement. I want to see him given a run of games to show what he can do
Bannan - 8/10 - Scored the goal, nearly scored a free kick. He's finally being given a run of games and he is showing exactly what he can do. Our main creative force today and when he was taken off it really affected us going forward
N'Zogbia - 3/10 - A very poor rating for a very poor performance. Lots of running but gave the ball away numerous times, wasted good opportunities and lacked that spark we all thaught he possessed when he played for Wigan. It won't be long until Villa fans turn against him, if they haven't already
Agbonlahor - 6/10 - Work rate is unquestionable, his heart is fully in it, he is proud to wear the shirt and quite a few players could learn a lot from his attitude. He didn't have one of his better games today, had a couple of promising positions where he probably should have done better. He won the penalty, even if it was a debatable one
The 2 subs, Weimann and Albrighton, worked hard and did lots of running for the team. Albrighton looked dead on his feet after just 20 minutes on the pitch which I'm not sure is a good or a bad thing! He perhaps should have played in Weimann late on to seal the game but went alone instead. Once again he gave away a silly free kick in a dangerous position. He really needs to cut that out!
