I thought Famewo was excellent after a slightly shaky first 20 minutes or so, though he wasn't the only defender making errors in that period.

His positioning wasn't perhaps the best at times, but his pace and strength made up for that. I'd be happy if he remained our left-back based on that performance as he can only get better as he learns the role. Failing that, perhaps we'll see him in a back 3 if some wing-backs are sorted out? The additional pace is a real asset if you have it available.

Game of opinions and all that but think some are going (predicably) overboard on Famewo. I thought he was great once he settled in to his 2nd ever football league start, and only gave the ball away as much as anyone else. Think he’ll be great on the left side of that 3.

Famewo's pace means he is a better long term bet than Dixon. Clifton was on a yellow. Thought Max could have replaced Hooper who had little impact in final 15 min.

Famewo from minute 1 was a different prospect from the Famewo of minute 90. Visibly grew as the game wore on. Sometimes as fans, we need to be a bit more patient, and give a young player a bit of leeway.

Who of us were good at their jobs right from day 1?

Like others, I thought Famewo looked very nervous first 10 mins and misused a few passes/clearances. Very understandable in a big game,. In front of a large crowd and only his second ever league start.

Afternthat period he grew into game remarkably well and I thought he was excellent from there on out. He showed great pace and strength, calmness on the ball to control and pick out black nd white shirts under pressure and wasn't afraid to carry the ball forward. Defensively, he was very good and Anderson and later Green got nothing from him.

You can see why Jolley was keen to sign him as he carries the ball forward really well, backed up by pace and power!

I always thought Hurst set his teams up to nullify the oppositions strengths whereas Jolley seems to focus on their weaknesses.

I certainly think he is more positive than Hurst as a rule but against Lincoln we started with 4 centre backs - very much thinking about nullifying the opposition's strength!

Yeah there's no question Jolley does focus on the strengths of the opposition and how we can stop them. But the difference is I don't think he doesn't prioritise that over our own strengths (and the oppo weaknesses) that we can exploit.

Hurst wouldn't take calculated risks - opening up to try and win a game that was level, putting extra attacking players on or playing younger/less-experienced players. His "fear of losing" he's spoken about since going to Ipswich perhaps leads to this approach of: safety first, and we'll nick a win if we can.

At the match I commented on how much time Famewo seemed to have even when clearing the ball. Sign of a good player when they have time.
