Thanks TV.

We’re lucky to be leading. It’s been mostly Burton. Not a good display by us despite the score line.

Why do we have 2 goalkeepers on the bench?

He's gonna play one of 'em centre forward second half.  That first half display was nothing more than embarrassing.

The same reason we've had 4 right backs on the bench and played somebody out of position at right back.

Sounds like most of our away performances from last season.

We need a more commanding presence at CB. Love Chester but he’s a brilliant, intelligent clean up type player. It’s why he looked so good next to Terry. But CB is a weak spot right now. And Neil Taylor is back to his usual gash level.

Completely agree

The prioriry area to strengthen and if Chester goes its the difference between crisis and not

I’m not watching at the mom by but I think Lansbury and Hourihane lack physicality and sense when it comes to defending.

The half time 'coverage' is strangely hypnotic.

Lansbury definitely lacks physical presence

Both give the ball away much too much

If I'm kind, the pitch does look very bobbly

Same for both teams of course but they're more used to it

Hopefully we can get into our stride a bit now. I found that first half more sobering than a pre season game should be
