The defence is so much stronger with Purrington. The problem is Matthews great going forward but we always let goals in down his side when he plays , he rarely stops crosses coming in from his side
Gilbey is the one in this team capable of playing round corners and quickly transitioning the ball forward during counter attacks but he needs to impose himself on the game more. Always feels like he’s playing with a bit of lag. Really need him to get on the ball and use the pace of Maatsen and DJ to stretch them
Can't for the life of me see how Gilbey is a better option than Shinnie or Morgan. Although i know he's been out for ages, so i'd be surprised if he's still on the pitch after 60 minutes.

Since that pass to Doughty at Crewe, Gilbey hasn’t played a pass forwards

2 poor sides but they are exploiting our weakness.
Matthews injured?
Not sure how we are winning here!
Too direct
No pace in the middle
We're winning but it isn't pretty
lots of running by DJ and Maatsen
Poor touch but just looked stronger
