I thought it was too! We played very well last night though, after a shaky start. As soon as their equaliser went in, I did wonder whether a repeat of Southend was on the cards, but after we got our noses back in front, we were a joy to watch and should have scored far more than we did. We were a lot more physical last night too, which shows we've learnt from Saturday.
Looking at those who caught my eye last night:
Caddis- excellent going forward, providing a real threat down the wing and solid defensively. He needs to start on Saturday.
Raya- excellent saves again, before our second went on. If he sorts his kicking out, he'll go in January for big money.
Ward- clumsy again and probably would have been moved on now if the options had been there, in the window.
Chapman- looks dangerous with the pace he's got, which many backlines in League 1 will struggle with. He's another who needs to start.
Gladwin- looks good technically, and didn't mind getting stuck in when he came on. He might be a better player than Evans, but it's hard to judge based on 2 games.
Overall- well worth the money I spent going down there, and well done Tony Mowbray for picking a strong 11. He obviously recognises the need for them to have the match time together, in order the jel. I just hope we can transfer the majority of that performance to our first home game, on Saturday.
