P. Looked good again in an attacking sense

N. Their goal from nothing set up a tense finish.
I can understand why he made the changes with the game on Friday and it was working until the late goal.

In fairness in the first match v Boro they could easily have had more than the 2 that they scored. An element of good fortune in all 3 of their goals tonight.

+ We can now relax with cake on the sofa.

- no control of the game, Farke compared the first half to two packs of wild dogs running out of control.

He is learning his trade. He is a brave player.


He was still making key passes and controlling the ball a hell of a lot better than he was.

Key player for us and if you can't be happy with his improvement then I dunno what you want as we won't win any games with him not playing.

3 massive points.

Midfield poor & defended like headless chickens at the back.

We can't even waste time efficiently.

I would forgive him for losing the ball when he is in the attacking half, but just count how many times he tries to dribble the ball when in the defensive half and loses the ball. In those cases he should be looking to boot the ball up the field OR pass the ball. He will not last 5 mins when we get promoted
