Trouble was that the rest of the team, in particular the new players, didn't know how to react. For all the training routines that Alves and Mannsverk did in midweek, I doubt they involved trying to position themselves for one of Colwill's runs.
In his defence, he quite often goes on those runs because nobody's moving at all to offer themselves, he also tends to keep the ball when he does this. Tanner's a limited player but he's honest and will look for the ball, there were times on Saturday where El Ghazi was practically marking their full back

He definitely needs to learn when to shoot though, couple of opportunities that he spurned against Bristol by taking an extra touch
