It shows how important Sakamoto is to us. That balance, skill, vision, work rate and balance is really missing from the right hand side when he's out injured.
So you’re not formulating your own opinion but that of Oggy, the goalkeeping summariser to make it seem like you know what you’re talking about, after he’s made a passing comment during an incident in the match. Makes sense. Don't get me wrong I like Wilson and think he’s brilliant to have in the dressing room. But your post is clear that you’re making an argument to bring him back and forcing the issue. The GK that would probably struggle to get on the pitch for a L1 side now regularly, over the one that is being tapped up by England. Go figure.
No. Not at all. Never once said bring Wilson back in this thread; simply that he wasn’t as good technically yet was more vocal. I believe that him being vocal contributed vicariously to clean sheets.
WRT Oggy, I was replying to your suggestion that no one mentioned his lack of communication. Oggy has, so I pointed that out.
“Tapped up by England”…well, Pickford is in goal and not Rushworth. Pickford yells and screams and shouts “mine”, “leave” and so on.
My point, which I’ll stick to, is that Rushworth needs to do just that; call for the ball.
I know we lost 3 nil, but the back was less of an issue for me.We went too high chasing, but I'd rather we did have a go than defend a 1-0 defeat.
Biggest issue I thought today was no width or creativity. KKH for 10 or 20 at the end with tired legs and his pace is fine, against good opposition he's not a winger. EMC on the other side didn't want to go past and looked very pedestrian. No service to Ellis. Rudoni didn't look match-fit and struggled.
Eccles was a bit understandably tentative after his booking and Grimes ran miles covering lots of ground but not as progressive with the ball as usual.
Difficult to score really so I won't. Heads definitely dropped after the Hirst decision rather than galvanise and we just seemed a little off it for whatever reason.

I've not heard any interviews yet, was either Saka or Torp a late change? I assumed so as Varney was on the bench. Wonder if that upset our balance and KKH was a late replacement?

Both Lamps and Grimes said that was not a 3-0 and they are right. If you chase a game and don't score, always a chance of breakaways. Lots of our best players missing or not fit and the rest looking shagged out. We were the best team in the first half overall.
KKH out of position missed a sitter and was at fault for their first goal.
Absolutely nothing went for us today. Their goalie was MOM and the ref made a dreadful bottle for the second yellow.
Still waiting for someone to pin the defeat on JDS.
