Absolutely 💯 spot on.

You can see that Gilchrist is a natural central defender learning the full back role.

Often out of position / shape & his athleticism gets him out of trouble.

Importantly he loves defending…… with improvement & maturity he’ll be some player

I do think Souza should be praised for his brave play even if there was that moment he gave it away. One example is when he took the ball in a risky area 2nd half and instead of playing back, he turned 2 players and drove forward. At times makes it look easy and happy for him to take risks at times. Made me laugh first half when their player got it in space and he literally appeared off screen to take the ball. Vinis gunna get ya!

I would mark Arblaster a 5 as he gave the ball away in possession 3 times in the first half leading to Blackburn attacks. The first time a more clinical opposition would have scored. He improved dramatically in the second half. I thought Robinson was superb given his first full game after a long spell. Slotted in seamlessly. First half he was motm. Vini is fast becoming our talisman.
