With a mish mash side I thought there were some real positives.
The most obvious one is the CB pairing. Worrall was imperious and McKenna wasn't too shabby either. Neither full back was particularly good defensively and midfield was struggling, so these two got loads to do and they did it so well.
Other positives
Credit Bong for his good attacking play, including a superb assist. OK he cant defend properly but with those two CBs who cares!!
Taylor's finish.
Another clean sheet.
Run out for Smith. Hes ready if we need him.
The result. In the hat for Monday.
Also it showed why certain players normally start: Christie, Sow and Yates in particular (maybe Colback too if he was fit).
I'd start Taylor and have Grabbs up my sleeve for last 20 or 30 next week.
