Weird half. Both teams very good going forward and not so great at the back.
We are struggling with the right wing in particular, who is excellent. Manning needs to be subbed off for Jelert.

In the middle of all that, going to point out how excellent Quarshie has been - as whenever he makes a mistake he will be pilloried.

Manning was poor last game too. Would like to see Jelert there.
 
Yeah going forward we’re doing well enough. But at the back far too casual. Worrying because Derby play the way most of this division plays.

It’s the issue with wing backs/full backs who aren’t the best defensively. Far too easy for teams to get crosses in and, as this is what they work on, only a matter of time before they make one count

Exactly this. Every time the right wing attacks, Manning retreats into the box. There is zero pressure on the cross. On the other side, even little Fraser manages to make it difficult.
