Lots of positives - think we'd have settled for 3-1 but to keep it at that after 11 mins is good. Hecky tried something different - didn't work so he changed it. Kids get a chance. Stick the chances away, could have been different. Chalk fck on it and start again.
Settled for 3-1 before they'd kicked a ball? Would anyone going to Birmingham today have settled for seeing a 3-1 defeat? Think again.
Most people had us down for a severe tonking today. Read the predictions thread. So although we didn't want a 3-1 reverse, I think most would have settled for it. Read the sentiment, then you think again.
Goes for our whole midfield. Thought it was a big ask for him to do the job Gardner did last week. Didn't impose himself on the game, but looked tidy and worked hard other than one wild pass. Set piece delivery shows what we've been missing this season (not from him - but from anyone in our starting XI)
I reckon Moore and Mallan could dovetail nicely for us given time - Mallan's crossing/set-pieces onto Moore's height, and Moore holding it up for Mallan coming in late. I think we've missed that kind of Conor-Winnall supply line understanding this season.
