For what it's worth...

....my thoughts:
Positives. Electric first few minutes. Also, of course, the second half turn around. Some very good individual performances. Johnson really impressive, and the ball he played to Martin with right foot for first goal was exquisite, but generally dominant, picks up so much ball and rarely wastes it. Becoming key to much of what we do. Probably my MOTM. Narrowly beating Jerome who looks a bargain and will be a real force in this division. Took his two goals really well. Redmond has stepped up from last year. Improving all the time. Always a threat, particularly on the right. And using the ball much better with good crosses. Josh Murphy did really well. Posed a threat. Not sure he is ready to start many games yet, but will be before end of season. Sometimes making wrong decisions but will get many right and cause problems.
Negatives. Lost our way first half. Defensively looked suspect. Not convinced by Hooiveld. Soft first goal. Ruddy should have done better (but save in second half helped compensate!). Hoolahan a real off day. Ineffective and gave away possession. But have to accept that he will have games like this but that he will win games for us as well.

However, a point gained in the end and off to Blackpool. (via Shrewsbury obviously)

Of course I could just be rambling and talking crap....
