Sorry, that was a curt reply.

I just saw the situation entirely differently - indeed I praised the approach we took on here after the game.

Us being cautious would've meant two in the box and keep it in the corner. I expected us to do it. Instead, you had Hughton sending people up and getting them to cross it (but im sure everyone saw that on the camera that is on the manager for the whole 90 mins).

We've conceded from that sort of situation before against bug teams so I think it is to our eternal credit that we got bodies forward and crossed it for the win. Instead, TV viewers just see him keeping Yobo back - given where everyone was on the pitch with Man C keeping people up, it was entirely reasonable.
