Djed Spence

Very few players in the modern game do that. It's a bit of an unfair criticism of Djed who IMO had a very good game. Watch our first goal, it is Djed making the run to the near post before Uche sticks it in at the far post. He had a decent shot that went straight at the keeper (which from memory was taken on with his "wrong foot"?) and got into the box several times in the game. Him and Anfernee worked well down the right supporting each other.
I didn’t say he had a bad game, and his run for his shot is what I’d like to see more of. Just rather he would choose to take a player instead of the easy option.
 
Sorry but there is so much more danger created by Jones, who makes good decisions in key areas.
Spence does not commit himself, nor does he make opponents commit.
Crooks, Ikpeazu and Jones were our best performers.
I suppose that is the difference between an out and out winger and a utility wide player.
Both work in slightly different roles, Djed is better defensively and off the ball l would argue, going forward Jones looks the better player though I agree.
Both players will be needed this season if we are going to be near that top 6 and both are very capable footballers, lets stay behind them all.
 
Even though Djed is only young, he is quite a veteran in our team now. Maybe, with the size of our squad, NW has bollocked him and is trying to get him to step up and make himself first choice in the team on the right. He certainly looked good on Saturday.
