We've missed Benson so much, his passing really keeps us ticking over. Plus it allows Styles to stay at LWB.
The comedy defending is still there, but there were definite signs of positive change in that half. Benson/Gomes look OK in the middle. Brittain has looked more effective and Styles is a different player when utilised on the left. Benson on corners is an improvement. Hopefully Vic gets a confidence boost from an excellent goal and we can build on this in the second half.
Playing as well as can expect, if we can get the ball forward quicker & the players stop being as static in possession then we can win this. Nothings sticking up front though, Vic isn’t a target man with his first touch, and Cauley’s having a mare. Oulare on for Woodrow, but that won’t happen. Gomes & Benson in the middle are forming a good partnership. We also miss Sibbicks pace in the back 3.
