Our players don't anticipate or move when crosses and corners come in. You could see Coventry players running towards the ball before it arrived, while our players stood and watched until the ball arrived (on a Coventry player's head).
Taylor Harwood-Bellis is young and worth persevering with as a potential leader in the Jose Fonte mould, but we need a tall centre half, like Dael Fry, to play alongside him and win everything in the air.
We are still suffering from another poor transfer window when we failed to strengthen the spine of the team - goalkeeper - centre half - centre forward - with better players. George Long, Joshua Quarshie and Damion Downs were not improvements.
One bright note, however, was that Wood showed he is improving.
