Im pleased to say I never lost the faith with Jack. He's total quality at this level.

As soon as the full time whistle went he headed straight down the tunnel, no congratulating team mates  or handshakes for opponents. Didn’t look happy. All seemed at bit strange

Nuff said…

Not sure he appreciated being the more forward focused of the midfield either- think he likes to pitch in front of him

Good decision to bring Garner on for me, Zinc was wasteful, we were dropping deeper into our own half at the start of the 2nd. Dont know why he wouldnt be comfortable there, it was still playing CM which is what he does.

For all the eulogising of Colback, and he was a deserved MOM, Im not convinced from yesterday’s display. We conceded possession a lot and gave balls away however we took our chances which is what happens when confidence is high like it is now. Thought defensively we look stronger with a back 4 but lost a bit of that fluidity we had which is where Garner can offer a bit more to the midfield.

Garners time will come, he is a very good young player who will get stronger mentally on the back of this. The possession we conceded was very rarely down to Yates or Colback. They did their jobs superbly. Both were up and down the pitch like Harry Hodge (albeit less quality versions) and popping up in both boxes. I don't think they could have done much more tbf.

Other areas of pitch we conceded a bit sloppily from time to time, but the perfect 90 minutes is very very rare in this division. But I do see where you're coming from. Maybe it's a bit of worrying that the wheels might come off again as they have done many times over last 20 odd years.  Focus on these 3 things though:--

We won comfortably 
It was entertaining again 
The lads are giving their all

That will do me after the previous 18 months (or 20 odd years)

Just reading my post back it seemed unnecessarily grumpy. Dont get me wrong, it was fantastic to see a comfortable win and a side wanting to play attacking football. Agree McForest its great we seem to be able to change things mid game and have options unlike we did under Sabri for example. We remain a work in progress but it just all seems so much better.
