Rolled or passed to CBs? Nightmare!

Either way, the ball just gets shipped around like a hot potato. You don’t play out from the back when the opposition is holding a high line. Yesterday Shrewsbury’s front line was almost on the edge of our box, and yet Steer goofed it out from the back, like a missile or short and wayward. Still, let’s hope they learn before it really matters.

Thought Green was appalling, as was Taylor, neither knows what to do with the ball and only look to scramble it to an area where there might be a teammate.
Steer needs to work on his distribution, need a better No1.
Good signs from Lansbury, Wesley, Jota, Konsa and Gilbert.
The rest were just ring-rusty, and maybe a touch too casual; Mings and Jack.
We need to find another set-piece taker, CH is too hit or miss to take every set-piece.

Great to see them back on the pitch tho, the excitement is building.
Only saw the 2nd half Exiled but you could look at this the other way, despite the excellent pressing from Shrewsbury's forwards I didn't see us losing possession and Chester moved well to allow Steer to distribute but I do agree he needs to improve on that. Bree could do with a season in the Championship in a side challenging for the top 6, he has potential. Green for me is a squad player at best, he has popped up with the odd goal but for the most part doesn't look confident on the ball.

On a brighter note - O'Hare looks a great prospect and although I didn't see Jota's half the comments are all good on him
