Not seen anything so far that worries me immensely about next year, if we go up.

Sure, we need to improve in some areas but not hugely

Going from watching championship football week in week out you really see the difference in quality against prem teams.

They are just quicker, fitter and better technical players than anything we have faced this year.

We have looked quite good so far without offering too much in the final third
You’re right. The things (simple mistakes) we get away with most weeks are punished at this level. With the greatest respect🤨, the horse fiddlers and co aren’t the same level!

Yep very true. It’s the physicality and the pace at this level you just don’t realise until you watch championship football

I think we are learning about the reduced time on the ball you are afforded at this level.

Benson finally getting some space in the last 10 and looking dangerous.

Shame we don’t have the same kind of threat on the other wing.

It’s interesting isn’t it.

Beyer looks very comfortable at this level but THB just looks a step off it.

I knew today would be a good litmus test.

We have not been super sharp on our passing and Man U are certainly exposing it...

Benson certainly causing problems.

He’s a good championship midfielder but doesn’t look the part against PL players imo.

Pleased with that performance so far. Certainly don’t look out of place against a strong United 11. We are missing several key men tonight too. Like to see Twine / Churl / Jay in the second.

We've done well, nothing to be sorry for

Been undone by a quality cross and finish but apart from that we've been mostly good and had a few chances of our own.

Our possession style hasn't been found wanting unlike Coyle:s "toe to toe" approach.

BPF more than holding his own and probably questioning why he's not first choice

Much to be positive about
