Dreadful last night. Urgently need the return of Clarke to provide some positional direction. AJ was the best of a poor bunch.
Time to rethink and replace Bartley by Clarke. Townsend has looked poor at LB and is clearly better in the more forward role enjoyed earlier in the season.
Would Bartley manage at LB ? Can’t fault Kyle’s commitment and undoubted heading prowess, but as a result of his positional weakness and pace he is now clearly targeted.
Not sure whether any of the new boys could fill that LB role
