Just where did it come right in the second half? Why can’t we do it in the first? Still, if it’s a win, who cares, eh? UTR!I could - I had a small bet on us at 12/1......Nice one MM. (How small, by the way. )

James got criticised for his CM play IDM as he clearly doesn’t suit that role.He went left side in the second half and was much better, more natural to him.

Can’t lose then, eh?(Wonder who that game was against when we conceded at least four?That Fleetwood game we lost 0-4 but actually played decent, I think.

So I ended up being ten mins or so behind..I agree that we were nowhere near good enough in the first half. Sad to say Copps was our worst player and DM did right to change him - Richards simply injected some much needed energy into our play.I don’t think Copps is “done” just yet - he’s allowed to have a crap game sometimes.I think the criticism of Fej is a bit OTT - he didn’t have much support did he.Not sure what John did wrong to get some of the pelters either.?Also, James was highly effective going forward so all of you calling out DM for his selection in an advanced position maybe need a bit of humble pie for tonight’s pudding.As for Madine, he’s an embarrassment to the term “professional footballer”..Now, we have been inconsistent with performances and results this season but what is abundantly clear is this is a side which rarely knows when it is beaten.. yes we go behind in games, but what we are seeing is a team which never gives up..We started like we were low in confidence and lacked any creativity and bite going forward..DM certainly got them going second half, and at the end of the day 3 points is 3 points..Ifollow worked perfectly for me.Next.!!
I remember several games in the first half of the 2008/9 season where we battered teams and lost..
