⚽ Match Thread vs. Swindon Town 04.01.25 [EFL L2]

OK DC had a couple of loose passes but I thought his positional game was everything we could wish for. He very rarely went deep and I thought he consciously made more square passes and moved the ball a lot faster than of late.

I agree, not everything came off for him today, but thought he looked maybe a little more mature than in the Walsall game? After chats with SM?

The read of him being too 'look at me' and 'showboating' relies too much on telepathy for me. I'd say the more likely fault is that, despite being a top quality carrier of the ball, he's not always fast enough to make the right decision about when/where to let go.

Agree with this. But I do think he was somewhat off his own exceptionally high standards yesterday. Doesn't make him a bad player by any means, but surely we want competition for places.

a DC poor game is better than most players good game , The trouble is it stands out more because of his exceptional qualities when he's on it!
