Re: Sycamore Gap verdict

I'm sure we'll be more cautious than gung ho on Monday. It suits us to play that way. But with Foster unavailable we lack a threat in behind on the front 3. We do look a better team when we squeeze higher up the pitch.

As I feared, Sonne doesn't have an attacking bone in his body, whereas Roberts gets forward whenever he can. Because Sonne doesn't get up the pitch, Benson can't get any support and is stuck deep.
