3. Jamaal Lascelles - 5
If Newcastle United are relying on Jamaal Lascelles being the answer to their Premier League defensive prayers then they could be set to struggle this season, as he simply does not look ready for the big time just yet. Undoubtedly supremely talented - he is tall, quick, strong and good on the ball - Lascelles will one day develop into a top-class defender, but he is not there yet. Caught hopelessly out of position for the first goal, the defender also gave away a couple of fouls as he struggled against League Two defenders. It can't have helped that the equally-inexperienced Lubomir Satka was alongside him, but the signs were still worrying.
