I would hope that Woolfenden's ability is better than his performances for us so far. He is far too casual for me. Latibeudiere however is exactly the player we need right now because his game is all about grit and has football intelligence.
Some of the defensive decision making errors are so basic. For their first goal, Kitching, after failing with initial header, decides to press the ball, whilst DaSilva is already in a advanced position. Leaves a gaping space behind for them to exploit, which they did.
Latibeudiere is our only centre back who doesn't allow himself to be bullied by a physical striker. Kitching and Thomas are looking more and more lightweight. Some frustrating moments of switching off too. Van Ewijk particularly guilty.
Not much to feel good about apart from the fact we are...
I don't understand why Torp looked so laboured, given he hasn't been playing the minutes that others have. This was a game that needed a Jamie Allen energy injection.
Dreadful defensive performance. We look better with Latibeudiere in the team. Unfortunately our better form players play in the same position - Esse and Sakamoto. I think we need the former in the 10 and Sakamoto on the right.
