Walker and Lewis are costing us around 1 goal each per game at the moment. Really hard to understand how any of the youth players could be any worse. Let’s see what happens on Sunday.
Simpson-Pusey was on the pitch for 217 minutes, and we conceded 9 goals in that time. He even looked pretty good at times, but defending at City is extremely tough because of the way we play. Putting an 18 year old into a makeshift defence, already facing more pressure than normal, and without fit, experienced players around you to compensate, was a recipe for disaster.
