I thought Tanner did pretty well (a six or seven out of ten performance), but agree with the OP about Colwill and Ashford. As for Benjamin, I think the main reason he appears to be rated so highly by management at the club is because he’s a “leader”, but I’d like to see a bit more evidence that he can actually play. It’s a shame Dylan Lawlor made a poor error which led to Wednesday’s second goal, because, otherwise, I thought he played well and outshone Benjamin.
