    Expect him to be dropped after that atrocity at the end of the first half!

    Mediocre keeper, but Davies needed a rest. Shame we didn’t get the lad from Oxford.

    This is our GK problem- Davies will make some world class saves but then will have some absolute howlers. Townsend is bang average but doesn't seem like he will make a howler, nor any world class saves

    Probably should have saved the second one, but the first he had no chance. Comfortable coming off his line, doesn't run the clock down and is quick distributing the ball on the floor.

    Got the gloves the rest of the season for me.

    For some inexplicable reason he decided to position himself nearer the far post in relation to the kicker instead of the near. All their man had to do was float it over the wall inside the near post and it was in. Townsend could never have got anywhere near it from where he was. Why we never brought in another keeper in Jan is beyond me.....

    I'd go with:

    Davies
    Yiadom Jackson Lindsay Pinillos
    Gardner Williams
    Thiam/Isgrove Potts McBurnie
    Moore

    Mills and Townsend were shocking. Genuinely unsure for who to start on the right, depends on fitness maybe. Maybe Moncur in place of Potts, it's his natural role? Maybe Knassmullner, if he's fit?

    The formation looked effective, regardless.

    He was pretty much stood on the right post for the second. Gave him such a large target to hit, it wasn’t even anywhere near the corner.

    He looked slow to dive for the first.

    Townsend bang average that’s slightly too kind.

    I thought we'd have gone back in for him. Could be a costly blunder that.
    Once again January recruitment looks questionable:
    McBurnie is the only class player recruited & as we lost Barnes, we haven't added much there.
    Knasmullner & Mahoney appear to be no where near getting a start. We needed players that could come in & hit the ground running.
    Moore puts himself about & causes problems, but I'm not convinced he's a championship quality player, which I'm sure Mick has worked out.

    Oh dear. It is looking nailed on we go down IMO, unless Jose can work a Flitcroft style escape.
