Needs to up his game, not been impressed for a while now. Gets beaten far, far too easily. Still a young lad but we're so weak down that right side.

If only we had another left back so Williams could play in his natural position..

RN thinks its a wheeze to play players out of position. Hence Brittain at right back.

Williams should be right back but as we lost 2 left backs and Lewie is no longer welcome at the club we have no choice but to play Williams there and Brittain at right back, another case of poor man management poor squad recruitment and yet another example of not knowing what the f..k he is doing.

If we get another defender injured we will have Pawlett as a full back as there is no one else. Piss poor

I assume APM is saying it's because Williams is currently being played at left back, so Brittain comes in at right back?
I'm with Louis, there's a weakness on our right flank atm which AFC & cobblers have both exploited.
For me, Brittain stands off too much and doesn't get stuck in & stop the cross.

Brittain has not looked that good since he came back from his injury, but let’s not forget he is still very young and is going to have a lot of ups and downs so let’s not start getting on his back and show him some support

Not saying we should not support him but he is a bit like Anne Robinson on the right side of the pitch at the moment ie the weakest link ( of many)

Thought Brittain was one of the few players that put a shift in today, along with Gilbey, Williams and Tavernier.

Us and the people next to us were saying that exact same thing time after time, he was poor today and wasn’t impressed with Williams either if I’m honest.

My concern with Britain is that he spends most of his time trying to shepherd Players coming towards him whilst moving backwards in to his own area. He needs to stand up a bit stronger and try it o be more physical outside the box not keep drifting back in to it

That said he is only young and in a not particularly reliable defence that is a lot of pressure
