The big problem with Webb, Edwards and Roberts is that they have no pace. Richardson isn't the quickest, but he is better than the others. If you play all those together you are always going to be vulnerable to pace, which is why I think Coleman kept playing Williams. Rocky isn't the best, but he has been quick enough to get back when the defence has been split apart.
Coleman now has the problem of playing inexperienced, but more pacey defenders, or more experienced, but slower players. On Saturday he tried to balance the two by playing Branch and Thomas. It didn't really work.
I'm not Cav's biggest fan, but when he's fit he does have more pace than Edwards and he doesn't allow many to pass him on the outside. I think we lack pace throughout the team, which has cost us so many times. Wycombe had tonnes of pace and that's why it often looked like men against boys.
