    Our 2 strikers are uninvolved atm but that’s because we can’t get the ball up there very well.

    dan neil particularly for me been below his best

    Enzo is finding so much space, wish we’d look up and play him in.

    Rigg's been sloppy in possession on a few occasions. I don't mind the idea of him on the right of a 5 but not so much in a 4. I feel you need more width and he doesn't seem to want to go down the line.

    Think both Rigg and Hume been a bit wasteful TBH.

    There's definitely a few times we could have played through to the forwards feet a bit quicker

    The 2 strikers could show for feet a bit more, I want to see them really back into these 2 CBs and out muscle them, both are capable

    he’s levels above and we’re pushing him out wide, we scared he takes the piss out of them playing through the middle?

    Better side. Would like to see us move it quicker and look after it better.

    I would be tempted to put Roberts on the right for Rigg to be honest

    I'm sure it's just a fitness and adapting to the league phase. He'll play in the middle eventually.

    Don't think we've been great here so all about getting the result and getting out of there.

    ELF and Jobe been our standouts for me. Not a fan of Rigg out wide, think we are missing a threat down the right side as Hume isn't overlapping either.

    Solid enough half, dying for Wilson to get a goal and get his swagger back he looks like he’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders, get another early in the second half and we could have a good night here

    Yep argument for that aswell, one of them needs to drop off and the other go, they’ll learn that though

    but they’ve just not been used enough so far

    Reason he will be on the left is purely because he’s our best option for the left right now and it allows us to get Rigg into the team too. Although Rigg isn’t having the best of games
