Outstanding, Crew and Kelly brought so much energy in there, what a prospect Crew is

I agree the two loanees looked really good, I’m still not convinced by Bailey

I think Bailey is worth his weight in gold to us personally. But we are all entitled to our views. :)

We are so much more suited to playing against teams that want to pass and when we don’t have to see much of the ball.

Bailey has been very good of late

We were outnumbered in midfield but Ennis & Mols ran their blood to water to cover.

Well deserved and should have been more comfortable!

It could be I don’t see his contribution, I did think he was excellent last season though, I just don’t see the same impact -yet.

Bailey’s issue this season is he’s played about 6 different roles in midfield. He’s much more effective in the role he played today than sitting deeper like he has been doing

I said today today at the game that it looked like the days of Green, Stock and Wellens in our midfield.
Hunting as a pack to regain possession if we lost it and playing some wonderful passes when we had the ball.

They catch the eye but you need a Bailey to knit it all together

Really enjoyed today. The whole team played well.  We could've easily had 5 more in second half, Sterrys early on, Kelly saved effort, Moly saved effort that trickeld past post, header that almost went over the line, Gibson stretch at the end.

Great game from every single one of them.

Kelly looked really good today for me.

 In the last 3 games, it does seem like Owen is getting forward more, like I said in another post crew always has an eye out for when other players are getting out of position.
The lad made a couple of errors today, but when he loses the ball, he shows real tenacity to try and get the ball back.
He is a real talent, just a pity it’s Leeds who are going to benefit!

Hopefully we benefit this season and when we go up maybe they will let us have him for the season in L1 too.
