Most if not all of these games were without Downes and Bree It was our left that was culpable Saturday, Stephens was on the right He is a leader on the pitch and we lack those
Just watched the highlights and whilst we are all slaughtering Manning for his positioning for the first goal, I would question the positioning of Bednarek as well. Bedders had been drawn so far to the right that he had left Stansfield unmarked, which is why Manning was in the position he was, which meant he couldn’t watch the goal scorer. Our entire defence was too far to the right. Maybe a question should also be asked about where Stuart and Adarma were as neither of them were anywhere close to helping out.
