I don't think the highlights are representative of the whole match. While Turner, Bennett & Sasso were poor in the final quarter, they were spot on in the first half. Turner & Bennett tired at the death and will be better in a couple of weeks. Sasso struggled trying to cover for tiring team mates. Price is just an average keeper, way behind Westwood & already behind Wildsmith although he did make a couple of decent saves yesterday.
I think we will be fine when Lees is back, whoever plays alongside him, assuming he is straight back to full fitness.
I doubt that any of yesterday's midfield will appear much in the run in with Hutch, Lee, Bannan & Wallace possibly competing for three places. The lack of form from Joao & Nuhiu is worrying though.

I thought so at the time but having watched it repeatedly the clue is in the feet positions. The Shrewsbury defender just jumps in a straight line for the ball while Nuhiu just takes steps backwards to make a back for him, preventing him a clear jump at the ball. If Nuhiu had't backed into him, he would have cleared it easily & fairly.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
