    Pinnock and Jackson cannot mark a man, especially Pinnock, we have zero tackling ability in central midfield too. Jackson gets his head to the ball, but doesnt get any power into a header. Both fullbacks give the attackers far too much room and without Davies we would be shipping goals for fun.
    Yes I know we have signed a **** load of new players, but they look way off the pace to be fair !

    They don't get any protection from midfield either. We have to defend better as a team.

    Probably annoying people with how much I've mentioned this guy but Curtis Nelson at Oxford United should be playing for us instead.

    One player won't change a team which comprises lower league inexperienced players who have never played at this level before

    Midfielders that can't/ don't want to tackle...

    Davies has pulled off some great saves this season. Hammill and Bradshaw are working hard and putting in solid professional performances. Hedges, at times, looks good going forward but has a tendency to go missing and has a lot of work to do defensively.

    The rest, at this moment in time, look nowhere near Championship standard. Not even close. The above four players got us a result against Forest. You can't carry seven players every game.

    Neither Bradshaw (who is never going to be a player who the ball sticks to) nor Hammill (who has been excellent in both home games) did anything worthwhile today. None of them did, though some (McDonald Williams Moncur) beaconed performances of poverty.

    Hard to take positives out of today.
