He has him covered from the initial cross. You can't then expect him to anticipate the header back across from a man he can't see, spin 180 degrees and block it. It's nothing defending from Bidwell. Even if the initial cross goes to their 9 he's behind him so he can't do anything. He's lucky...

We weren’t a player short though, it was 4 defenders vs 4 attackers. Binks has his man covered. Bidwell comes across for no reason, leaving the man at the back with a free header.

The (very small sample of) statistics say we have a decent defense (9th best xG against) coupled with a good attack (6th best xG for) and are unlucky to have conceded 3 from the chances we’ve faced. My eye test says our midfield leaves too much space at times and is naive getting back. And...

No, it’s 20 for a home cup game.

Because the demand is ridiculous. There’s 120,000+ people on the waiting list for a United season ticket.

Simms yes, Wright no. He wasn’t even that bad, just had the expectation of being our record signing and a dry spell in front of goal with some bad misses. All that’s changed is he’s upped his conversion rate from terrible to average.

We’d also be £60m+ richer

Can anyone explain why Bidwell leaves their man completely unmarked for their 2nd goal?

He’s a great baseline and I’d never be disappointed to see him on the team sheet but I agree if we’re being ambitious there might be scope to improve the position.

Tbf, although Wright is undoubtedly great and possibly our best player he is very frustrating to watch at times. He often completely telegraphs his intentions and ends up smashing shots and crosses straight in to the first man. With a bit more guile he could score 30+ goals a season in this...

£20m I’d say. 2 years left on his contract so we can drive a hard bargain.

On the other hand you can say that was a game we should’ve won comfortably but somehow conspired not to.

Thomas should be starting every game. And I’d be tempted to give Kitching a run in the team.

Did you watch the game? Nothing he could do about either.

Good first half but faded second.

7 😭 least talented footballer on the pitch for us.

He had a decent game for his abilities. My worry is that if you’re an opposition manager you would tell your players to target him. Slow, not particularly tall and clearly not comfortable on the ball in tight situations. Dovin did incredibly well with two of Lati’s back passes blasted at waist...

Liability on the ball, looks like he fills his boxers every time someone passes it to him.
