Some brief observations on the game. I think we desperately need a commanding centre half. This would have been the perfect opportunity for Caleb Taylor to get first team experience! Some bright spark loaned him out! Kelly was on the bench so I hope he can play against Preston.
I thought in the midst of the carnage that Assante was promising. He puts himself about, can hold the ball up and has speed. Wallace and Diagana were just about ok.
Button terrible for the first goal. You can see why he hasn't been a regular first choice for any team.
Defence and midfield were hopeless. We need Okay back in the team. He would have closed down their second goal rather than backing off. I am willing to give Rogic the benefit of the doubt as he isn't match fit. I still can't get my head around what Livermore contributes despite his rare goal. Defensively, I thought we would be ok this season but without Ajayi we are terrible. Furlong teases by playing one quite good game and then plays two shockers. Quite obviously Townsend is not a centre half. Pieters may be ok at left back.
When we have a fully fit squad and another transfer window, we should have the makings of a decent team. I just checked the prices at the bookies hoping for some big prices given our results. Unbelievably we are 6/5 to make the top 6 and 10/3 to get promoted. At those prices I won't have an interest.
