Because there are more right footed CBs many of them grew up playing left side. JT for example. Left sided CBs tend to only ever play LCB and be more lopsided. They're also in massive demand at the top of the game, hence why I'm bullying my 2yo nephew to be one.

Red Frog isn't going to like me......
We are a broken team, playing under broken leadership and in a broken season.
You cannot do much as a team when two centre backs stand and watch a forward just move into 5 yards of space inbetween them. He's in a yellow shirt, so not exactly hiding. The mental side of our platers is shot to pieces and no amount of coaching is going to fix it this season I'm afraid. Once you have that problem, you really are up against it to do anything much good. You can't win enough games when you have 4 or 5 of those instances in a single half every game, and it is pretty much every game.
Odimayo gets plaudits but he could be personally responsible for us conceding two goals today already. Same problem, no focus, switched off at a free kick when Taylor is walking away, switched off on ball round the side and let Taylor drift behind him easily.
In midfield we are broken thanks to Wellens. Two central midfielders for a season is clearly an issue. Grant and Caddis both look like they'd struggle to muster a working leg between them right now. Caddis' lack of either fitness, or just getting on a bit is now exposed alongside Grant who seems to be a similar situation.
Stevens - what the fuck were we sold with this lad? I'm sorry, it's almost like watching Dean Hooper make his debut all those years ago. If someone could just put his legs on A Grant. He has very little future in the game as far as I can see - pace can only keep you going for so long in the game before you actually need to be able to play football. Some may say that is harsh, but he looks the same in every game pretty much. At least with J Smith you can see some ability and you think you can work on decision making.
Injuries - last seasons gamble has not paid of this season because of the unique situation. This bizarre mind fuck of a season needed players who could player two times a week, graft games out.
Overall, we could still snatch something from this, but it's not fun watching because of all those issues above. I'm worried for us this season now, I thought the ability we had would see us through and the empty stands would help us by taking the pressure off from fans wanting us to quit the passing game. Turns out it's created a mental weakness in our team and in turn we've had to resort to abandoning everything that made us good last season anyway. Sad times. Still, the world has bigger problems to worry about, so I find myself not that fussed outside of watching the game itself.
On the plus side, um, fuck, this is usually my forte.........
I havent got the patience to sum up everything typing on my iPhone. If I did I'd have said this, but less eloquently.

Tyler Smith might as well be self-isolating for all the support he has. Plan seems to be to keep them to 1 and hope we nick something.

For once can’t you just reply with one sentence? Broadbent is 28 with 50 league appearances and has spent the majority of the last 2 season injured or out with other issues whereas Hunt has played regularly and is pretty reliable.
Oh fuck off. In L2 yes Rob Hunt was good. LAST FCUKING SEASON. Fuck me, if I get employee of the year in 2019 does that mean I'm entitled to it in 2020? Based of what I did last year? Especially when stepping up a level and that area of work is more competitive and challenging? Another guy comes along and does well. But we bin him off because it's jobs for the boys and like, ya know this other guy was employee of the year last year so it makes logical sense doesn't it. You know, to not treat your employees equally or fairly. I'll write more sentences just to piss you off if you bring it up. Cunt.

Decent Town move, good pass from Stevens (!) to Smith and a blocked shot from Payne.

There is very little between the teams, both lacking quality,
Its not a very enjoyable match at all.
1 very slack bit of defending and 1 peice of good finishing is the difference so far.

Broadbent has played 95 minutes in the league, not exactly enough to base a conclusion on that he’s good enough to play regularly this season and the managers actually see the players train! Grounds started off well and progressively got worst, any he’s on now and up front!

If DJ is anywhere near fit then we should be putting everything through him down the flank here.
Oh fuck me Broadbent is up front. We're into Antoine van der Linden territory.
