Stu looking to place that one, just allowing them to get back. Nice move though. AA did well, as did Stephens.

They had a chance to get a good ball in there, but he took an extra touch so it went stright to Baz. Baz's delivery has been a bit better, back in that spell of games where was being used very much as sweeper keeper.

never a free kick as Brooks gets the ball and passes it.

Smallbone making a run into the box past the last defender. #versatile

Hopefully, we'll keep some intensity at 1 up, and not let it slacken off and get them into the game.

Nice tackle from Bedders.

A little bit of justice for that blatant pull back.

Lovely set up header from...their number 7... then it's Stu putting that lovely hair at risk with the header.

Yeeesss!!!!!!

Ball in from Brooks. Held back and we would have been in there. Just a booking.

Captain Shoehorn! 🙂

Early doors... we looked immediately vulnerable down at right back, and they've troied to run past our high line. We've had a shot go wide.

COYR!

To us? 🙂

Not Stephens at RB? Definitely THB?

3-1 to us today.

I think all streams are being used to douse the flames.

He does offer some thing the other 2 CBs don't. I can see advantages when we need someone to provide defensive cover but also drive from deeper positions or add options to midfield when we're needing a push. I can also see him at full back, in that they're inverted anyway. Definitely good to have in the squad. And there's the qualities given above he brings to the team anyway. However, if we had a full strength team, doing well, it would be difficult to start him. But he's versatile, and we have developing players whose form can dip, or injuries like Downes. So plenty of starting opportunities, but not necessarily every game.
