Tbh I thought Hanley looked rusty and luckily Brum didn't push us too hard
I hope it is just getting back to full fitness from his injury because we look a lot less mobile without Zimmermann or Godfrey at the back, the passing is also not so crisp between Gibson and Hanley. It could be difficult if we come up against a more mobile attack, I thought against Rotherham there were signs of it but luckily the more robust tactics from Brum last night played to our strengths.
Gibson brought the ball out of defence a few times but didn't look wholly comfortable doing it but he will adapt I am sure. Another thing we missed are those accurate diagonals that Zimmermann and Godfrey played, again we tried them last night but not to great success, hopefully in time they will get better.
But all in all it was a relatively tight performance against a team that didn't really pressure us too much.
