A clean sheet and a point. Views and all the other stuff here please.
A real game of two halves.
We had the best of the first half and Ladapo and Harrison were causing them all sorts of problems. Harrison looks a really talented player but perhaps not always on the same wavelength as his teammates at the moment. I’d hope that will come after a few games together though. Reminds me of Leroy Sane in his style.
Second half, Bury went more direct and lumped the ball into Hanson and played off the scraps. Those sorts of balls are meat and drink for experienced centre halves like Turner and Ferdinand though and we dealt with their onslaught quite comfortably I felt. We seem to have grown a backbone from somewhere, I think earlier in the season we’d have lost this game but that point could be vital come the end of the season.
Disappointing not to get the win but without Cox and then Kightly after half time, we lost a lot of our quality playmaking in the final third.
Freddie Ladapo for me looks a bit rusty but does have pace and power. Harrison is tricksy with good feet but quite lightweight. These two will definitely play their part this season but we definitely missed Simon Cox tonight.
