They say football’s a game of opinions and we all see different things in a game. A number of people commenting that they thought Ben had a good game, however, I just didn’t see it. He gave a wholehearted, commited performance (he always does as he’s that type of player), however, I felt he just didn’t use the ball well enough and gave it away too often from unpressured situations. I appreciate he’s filling in and it’s not his natural position - my measure is ‘does he match up to being an effective L1 standard left back’.

If we’re to survive in L1, we need more than effort, we need to add quality into our assessments of who plays well or not.

Thought Johnson was decent, however their goal was from that side and too similar to one of the Gillingham goals. Finlay was our stand out player from my viewpoint. As I said as the start, all about opinions!
