I still don’t understand Bailey being on the right. He’s never as effective as on the left. The run and goals vs Everton or Man U for example all down that side

While I hope I’m wrong, I get the impression this is a shop window game for Sanson rather than a way to get back into our first team plans

Can we do a twofer, buy a Sanson, get a Bailey for free ?

Bailey loses the ball far too often

Bailey trying to cut inside is what causes to lose the ball as often as he does

Sanson's celebration was interesting: tapping his head and pointing out he has a brain/solid mentality or something.

Might be an in-joke as some of the subs were smiling and doing it as well after the goal.

His reaction when he loses it is almost always awful too - slouching, negative body language, lopes around unenergetically.

If they're lucky they'll be served before full time.

I’m struggling to see the famous Wmery patterns of play at the moment, they can’t even do the basics right

I’m going to give that to Stevenage. I was almost willing that shot to go in - that would have been an amazing goal.
