• I think the defence has always looked better whenever Branthwaite or O'Brien have played central defence and on his last two performances there is a case for Patterson to be given an extended run but the biggest change when we have performed well is the number of midfielders that are willing to run with the ball, Garner, Rohl, McNeil while Armstrong runs into good positions and gives others time rather than the only forward outlets being, or being used, Grealish and Ndiaye albeit Dewsbury-Hall was also good at carrying the ball forward and feeding off Grealish. Which I suppose gives Moyes the welcome(?) problem of when and how he uses Gana and Iroegbunam and for that matter KD-H when fit and if Alcaraz gets a look in.
