Apart from being outta position for both their goals

If you are told to play high up as a LB or RB then you will be out of position if there?s a transition

Then you need the pace to get back, or at least attempt too

Watched the last 25 minutes. Entertai ning stuff. Decent win. Berry really can finish. Shame about Fleck but I still think he will contribute this season.

Clearly no chances were going to be taken with Fleck. It's not a positive development but I doubt it changes too much. He wouldn't have started at the weekend and still won't.

When's the draw for next round..

I'm going to take a wild guess that it will before the final group game between Bradford and Rotherham

IMO, Horton barely has a defensive bone in his body and is much better going forward, usually his first touch is poor and I have not been surprised he has not featured this season with the incomings we had.Hope he proves me wrong.

A man with a flag would help, but we have them who only come alive during the second half most visits. Playing the offside trap requires consistency from the linesmen.
Horton can still do a job for us though, but he too needs to up his defensive game.

True,but Gordonand Sheckleford need to up their defensive work also. Gordon has been a little hesitant in some games and cost us a few goals,but he is a class player.

Gordon is class and rarely makes a mistake. He helps out his centre back and is always available for a pass. He's decent at closing down, tackling and forcing the attacker where he doesn't want to go. Shecks isn't playing at the moment Dave, but if you mean Tanton, he's learning, and will be playing Premiership football for someone sooner rather than later.

Was told last night, he'd gone to watch Harrogate v Blackpool.
