Plenty of food for thought. The back 4 were impressive. Ainge and Shiels look and play the part. Middleton kept his temper when I thought it was only a matter of time before he crippled somebody. Whittle was a good choice for MOM. He loves running at the opposition with the ball which is great to watch.
In midfield, Rollins out wide was the pick for me. Tricky footwork and pacey with it. Abbott, Thanoj and Platt, on the whole, stopped Chester from taking over, but didn't create much. When Green came on, no one gave him the ball and the skipper had to tell him to belt up.
Upfront, Wright and Thewlis had a lot of work to do and did it, but I wonder if they had the wrong studs on their boots, because they fell over a lot.
The pitch was fabulous. A round of applause for the groundstaff. You could play snooker on that, let alone football.
All in all an enjoyable day. I bought this season's away top from the club shop. 'Er indoors tells me sky blue suits me better than purple.
