How many times does he have to be caught in possession in a dangerous area to realise that its not the best option to try and turn/beat a player.

Until his judgement improves and even then it won't be 100% right, even the best of them have opposition players with instructions to push on them and they're robbed now and again.

TBF he'll be tasked by the gaffer to show confidence on the ball, press us forward in transition. Some pressure on the lad, and for the best part of the season he's done it well, he's improved a lot this season.

Think he's stood still tbh Nemo. I do love the lad but he's probably been my biggest disappointment this season. It's telling that when Le Fee comes on, we can keep the ball in the centre.

His past two games I'd guess he's lost the ball more times than Dan IMO, albeit from a misplaced pass. Lost it a few times tonight for sure.

Doesn’t seem to learn.

Makes at least one crucial error every game. Not punished enough at this level but in the Prem it would be a massacre.

09 underhit a pass and gave the ball away in a crucial area tonight, did the same in our last game. nowt said.

I get the tactics that RLB is attempting to employ for the full game, but when we did get the opportunity to break we were bloody awful. Unfortunately Dan is the pivot for starting these attacks and nearly every time tonight he gave the ball away, and never won it back. Yeah he gets pelters, but so did many others tonight.

Onien also defended very well
 
Although he got caught out a few times I thought he did beater than others in the team. He at least chased down not like others

I'd say he was OK. Thankfully Mepham has come back into form and outshone him tonight.

Couldn't pass the ball five yards when looking to attack. Overthinking every move.

I thought he looked knackered tonight , got no help with some of the passes out from the back but was caught cold in one particular incident .
No where near as bad as some are stating , collectively we played very conservatively.
Pace picked up after the substitutes ,if they had come on say 10 minutes earlier could have nicked all the points .
Patterson was solid tonight but tippy tapping the ball about ,or standing on it till someone came to close them down didn't help
