Maddison was really good, he wasn't out of his depth in the slightest.
He doesn't look out of his depth, but he does look a little too slight.
I have been saying for 3 years now, what you need in this division is power and pace. Watching that today it really was men against boys at times.
Very few positives for me, other than the quality of kids we are producing from the academy. After that, there's not a lot to praise.
Our movement is poor, we are predictable, don't create enough chances (first one in the 66th minute today), make too many errors and our midfield especially, looks incredibly lightweight.
Maddison is like a breath of fresh air. His first thought is forwards, every time.
Barton in the first half only passed the ball sideways and back. O'Brien, Fleck and Thomas are all guilty of the same too.
We are incredibly predictable and also our build up play is so slow, the opposition has so much time to get organised and get men behind the ball.
Am now very concerned about this season. You can't keep going through games hardly creating any chances in tandem with a defence that leaks in goals all the time.
Positives? Dr. Who's on tonight.
Let's not let that last 15 minutes at the end wash over the dregs of what went on for the other 75 minutes.
