That team selection and system. Just odd.
Why Spence after Saturday? Why Donacien out of position again? Why no Kenlock when you're playing wing backs? Such an alien team and without the familiarity and known quality of Edwards.
Having said that - and this isn't a massive complement because he would have been stupid not to - credit to Hurst for changing it and making a double change at half time, which you rarely see at only one nil down.
I'm so glad we've scored a good goal. Until now we've scored scrappy goals with a deflection or after a goalkeeping flap from a long throw, for example, and that was a peach of a cross and a good striker's finish. You have to think that will give the team and particularly Jackson some confidence. Shame it didn't inspire him to hit the target with the late chance, HAD to do better.
Mixed emotions. Felt like the Villa game in a way. In that game it was the sending off that inspired us, tonight it was the fact that the first half was so utterly bad that we had to come out and do something. Have to say Villa gave me more confidence to be honest.
In terms of the result we'd have probably taken that, no? Maybe not the manner of it, but with Bolton on Saturday it puts us in an okay mindset.
