Saying that, the full backs weren’t at fault today. Whilst the central pairing were (as usual) totally dominant in the air, Raggett made a totally unnecessary intervention for no. 1 and Morrison was hopelessly out of position for no. 2. I think, once everyone’s fit, the big decision will be Robertson or Morrison alongside Raggett.
For me that's the easiset decision DC will have to make all season. It's Raggett & Robertson all day long - apart from anything else Raggett is more comfortable with the ball at his feet when playing on the right. Robertson is class, Morrison used to be but was bought as cover and good cover but at his age he can't play every week.
Not sure how you can describe Raggett's intervention as unnecessary, it was a dangerous low cross into the box and needed putting out for a corner, which is presumably what he was trying to do.
