Some of Allen’s runs from deep were excellent, managed to get through untracked two or three times first half. Like Wright, once we’ve got a midfield that can consistently pick those runs out we’ll be laughing. I think Simms will do better than Godden in that style. Wright, Simms, Allen, Saka and MvE breaking is some decent pace and skill.
Was saying to a mate at the game that we need to use runners from deep more. Not sure if it’s been mentioned but there was one on the first half where I think Godden was flagged even though he let the ball go/wasn’t interfering
Stand outs last night were the back four especially Kitching and Thomas (he’s coming along great in a back four !). Sheaf first half and Saka in patches…we needed to get the ball to him more !
Simms looked lively when he came on. Would’ve swapped him for Godden after 60.
