In my opinion all bar one put in a decent shift last night, ok the needless red cards obviously didn't help.
However any team whether it be in sport or a work, who has to carry a passenger as heavy as the one we are carrying, will get frustrated. That frustration showed up big time last night, and could well have led to those red cards.
As others have already said, players don't have to be superstars to show that they want to achieve things at this club, all we ask of them is to show that they want to be here.

Very impressed with Charlie Penny last night, he worked hard and made some decent runs, sadly he didnt get enough of the ball to make it count (no fault of his own).
Again I agree with everyones sentiments about our Number 10. I took a friend along last night who hasnt seen us at all this year and within 10 minutes identified him as our worst player, both in skill and effort.
What alarms me is the lack of people willing to shoot in and around the box, I am not suggesting abondoning the passing game, but the last few weeks I dont feel as though we shoot enough to give ourselves a chance of scoring, which we are in dire need of doing.
It is frustrating but I hope that we all get behind the players that put 100% effort in and not let those few drag us down and get a result on Saturday which will get us on track again!
If you have any player who is dragging the rest down, and the rest cannot sort him out, you show him the door. It is unfortunate that we have lost so many good players from a squad that was so exciting to watch this time last year. Now it is going to be a battle to keep in touch this next few games.
I agree with that, but the harsh reality is, if we get rid of him, would we be able to get anyone better? I am assuming (hoping) we arent paying in that much in the first place!
Whatever your opinion of Keiron to blame him for any part of the red cards is ridiculous.
Jake went for two soft decisions, but Chris Bush let down everyone at a stage when we had given ourselves a slim chance of getting something from the game. No excuses, just a lack of discipline that has earned him one 3 match ban already.
I am loathe to criticize any player on here but it was an act of rank stupidity when we had the free-kick and killed our chances and to blame anyone else for it is ridiculous.

Paul,
Agree 100% but this thread is primarily about lack of effort not stupidity - Bush has received plenty of criticism for his lack of discipline from outside (and I hope inside) the club.
