A few observations...

1) Ben Godfrey-not a centre back, gets dragged out of position far to easily. Should slip him back into a DM role to add much needed physicality (when we have at least 2 x cb available)
2) Max Aaron’s- Been really surprised how difficult he’s found the step up, thought he would take it in his stride but he’s been really disappointing. I’d bring Byram back to the right and Lewis back on the left for the time being.
3) Our game management is awful. Playing out from the back is great and no doubt the right way to go. However, you need to do it at the right times. The first 2/3 minutes of the 2nd half we constantly played the ball between the centre backs and the keeper and invited them on to us. Utter stupidity when anybody with half a brain knew they were going to press us high. Should have made them work much harder for it than that.
4) we’ve really missed not signing another forward. Looking at the bench is a bit depressing when you see Srbeny as the only available option really.
