I find the comments regarding BSD unbelievable. Slow. clumsy and a liability. For me he had an excellent game. Won every high crosses, good positioning, reads the game well and has good mobility. Offord the complete opposite. Lacks movement, never competes for high crosses, and not strong enough to be a CB. This year he has improved slightly but far from ready.

The comments about Arthur are so unfair and not helpful. These are his first real competitive games and he has to build his confidence. Yes he made a couple of mistakes but he made quite a few crucial saves. He is brave and does not hide. He is only young, for goodness sake give him time. Felt he had improved last night.
It is funny how opinions on individual players differ. Agree totally about BSD and the keeper, disagree totally about Offord. He is not the tallest but he reads the game quite well and I think he is one of our more consistent players and I thought he was one of our best last night. Not the best but not far off
