Great day out to the Amex, friendly bunch of fans, live music playing outside, police and stewards were friendly too.
First half, I thought on the whole they played in our half and our defence coped really well, all four of them.
Second half, we took the game to them more but a draw in reflection is probably a fair result although we created more scoring chances.
Scores on the door
Thomas 4 sorry but he should have saved that! He did not have a lot to do he was well sheltered by the defence and what he had to do he flapped at.
Doc 6 a good outlet and linked up well with the wingers, his end delivery is better than RVP....
Batth 7 Solid at the back, blocked, headed, tackled and was generally strong at the back
Stears 8 MOTM Mopped up any danger at the back, speed when needed, put his body on the line, good game
Hause 7 Good game for Hause, played well, stuck to his task defended well
Price 5 thought he had a poor game, not really in it and made no impact on the game
KMac 6 had a tougher task with Price going missing, always an outlet but again the midfield tended to get over run
Van la Parra 4 flatters to deceive, he is lightweight in the tackle or on the ball, his deliveries are $$$$ poor, the goal was another $$$$ poor cross that got lucky, should have been subbed instead of Henry
Henry 5 I think he is better on the wing rather than the critical role of a number 10.
Sako 6 a bit hit and miss, not many of his runs today but a couple of good strikes, one at the end would have sealed it
Afobe 8 takes up great positions, had a great strike on target which caused a great save from their goalie first half
Sub
Dicko 7 caused them problems, lively and set up Sako right at the end...
Kenny 6 time to bench Van la Parra and send him to the gym to man the $$$$ up
Ref 8 Let the game flow, was even handed, firm with players
Crowd 9 Fantastic away support, travelled in numbers and backed the team
