    Mobility isn’t an attribute Smallwood has ever really had. It’s not his game to be chasing players down the wings.

    If either of them get into the starting line up for league games we are in trouble

    Both Bradford an Derby are pressing high but in different ways. City are doing it to try an force a mistake, so in other words, anyone and everyone Whilst Derby are pressing the players who can likely get the ball out from our defence, i.e. East an the full backs

    so in other words, its damn near impossible for us to get the ball up field as the full backs arent really full backs

    Our full backs of FCD and Staunton don’t look like they will be pressing to start the season.

    He was down but it was just a knock when his shot was blocked, nothing to worry about and carried out without any issues.
    We’re just up against a better side at the end of the day but the full backs have done nothing to convince me either are good enough to be even back up full backs for us.

    Not impressed with that first half display. Derby are a league 1 team and they shouldn’t be dominating the game like they did
    Yes I know it’s a friendly but maybe we should stop charging an entrance fee if we’re not gonna try to compete

    Exactly the same , Right side f/b in no man’s land again . Walker our best probably but our two full backs shouldn’t see the team again . Songo’o looks slow .

    They are both our 3rd choice full backs for each position.

    We do need a right back though for sure, happy with Ridehalgh and Foulds on the left

    These would be mid table championship without points deduction Medes Laing has been superb. Plenty of positives on the attacking side

    Thats a bit disingenuous. Yes, they’re a league one team but if it weren’t for a points deduction they’d have finished mid table in the Championship. The likes of Davies, Cashin, Bird, Sisley, Forsyth, Knight, Thompson all played regularly last season and are essential mid table championship level players. Barkhuizen has only just come out of the championship and Mendez-Laing is a quality player.

    We’ve been disappointing, but lets not pretend that we’re facing teams of this standard in League 2.

    We haven’t really had an attacking side Park.
