The 21 year old got another 90 minutes under his belt as his side drew 0-0 with Luton Town. He made 86% of his passes but failed to have any sort of shot on goal in a quiet game from an attacking sense. Gore made one tackle, a clearance and four interceptions to help preserve his side’s clean sheet. He recovered the ball five times and came out on top in three of his duels. Habeeb Ogunneye The full back got through another 90 minutes in his side’s latest defeat to Shrewsbury Town. He completed 79% of his passes and his only cross failed to reach a teammate. Ogunneye did have one shot on target in the match and it was classified as a big chance missed for his team. The 20 year old was poor in his duels though, winning just one of his five ground contests.
