Back from the match

In the end a fairly routine win, I thought. We could have stepped up a gear with a couple of substitutions, but not needed.
Decidedly lacklustre without Hoolahan and Jerome, also missed the probing runs of Whitaker. I was impressed with Dorrans. Thought Ryan Bennett looked sound at CB. BJ seemed to have taken a dislike to someone in Row Z behind the goal!
Vadis was our Rotund Rampager - several surging runs into the box, looked quite good, but can't see him getting in the 1st XI unless injuries+ suspensions.
Really pleased the Wolf got his goal. Has the ability to find space, great control, tackles back, some good lay-offs, but not strong enough to play lone striker. Really disappointed with the Grabban fiasco. We do need another muscular mobile striker by the weekend.
Andreu didn't make the most of his opportunity - soft header to goalie and later missed a sitter.
Wisdom and Toffolo both did OK. Rudd did well.
Nice stadium, shame half empty.
