Don’t know how many times I’ve watched the highlights but here’s my take…

1) Alwick should of started
2) Tanner was the main man, Bulut’s wrong to call him out in the press
3) Collins is half the player he was before his ACL injury
4) we need to address the CB scenario

The CB scenario is a weird one isn't it. Not sure what the answer is. I think their positioning is just not quite right. It's not like they are way off the pace and miles away from a player when he strikes. Perhaps just a tad slow to react to runs. They always seem to allow a ball to go through their legs aswell. Bamba and Morrison always seemed to get their blocks right so what are these guys doing wrong?

We'd have lost by more with Alnwick, Runarsson made three good saves at least and came out and caught the ball on crosses at least three times, Alnwick would have conceded at least one of those in addition to their 2nd haf goals.

I like Alnwick he's a solid keeper, but Runarsson is a class above, people are looking for a fault because he's better than a popular figure.

This was my opinion, too. Runarsson pulled off some good saves and was unlucky with all three goals. The positive is I think both kerpers can do well for us this season... :ayatollah:

Agree with everything apart from your second point.

I knew Runarsson would be the number one because he's good with the ball at his feet, but didn't agree with him starting now. It was very harsh on Alnwick.
