Very good comeback.
However, not sure what someone put in Drury's drink before the game, he had a shocker.
My ratings:
Gallacher - 8 - Several decent saves with good handling, and one superb save at the death to preserve the win.
Drury - 4 - Poor free-kick taking. Got caught out several times and was badly at fault for the second goal. First poor performance in about 20 games though.
Shackell - 6 - Strong in the air. Could have swept for Drury a bit better at times but generally solid. Also, poor distribution on occasion
Doherty - 7 - Great tackle at the end to save the day. Seems to work well with the Shack.
Colin - 7 - Really coming along now. Doesn't look overly convincing when trying to defend against a winger running with the ball, but linked well with Croft again.
Huckerby - 7 - Some good runs as we expect, but still makes the wrong decision by running into blind alleys at times.
Etuhu - 8 - Won several key interceptions, don't remember one misplaced pass. My MotM.
Safri - 8 - Along with Etuhu bossed the midfield in our purple patch.
Robinson - 6 - Several misplaced passes, generally was the weak link in the midfield. Still feel he's a better option than Hughes.
Croft - 7 - Good jinking runs but his lack of fitness resulted in him doing Huckerby-esque simulation which ended up costing him a booking. I'm 200% confident he'll be great for us when he gets up to speed. Deserved his goal.
Earnie - 7 - Feeding off scraps in general, but was in the right place at the right time to seal the win.
