Thermal underwear came in handy last night. Knees only took twenty minutes to thaw out when I got home! Been under the weather recently but the goals cheered me right up.
Nice to get an early goal and look more positive than in recent weeks. However, the positivity was almost our undoing with some of the chances we let Brum get. Forestieri gave Fox no cover when he got pulled inside, hence their right back looked their most dangerous player throughout. Sasso did ok but clearly didn't want to get in a foot race knowing Hunt wasn't always there to cover him and got caught diving in too early a couple of times. Fortunately, Hutch is brilliant at covering gaps like that when they appear. Loovens is one of those players you realise how much he brings to the team more when he's not in it.
No one was terrible for us but we still had some sloppy periods of play where the passing went to pot and we gave them too much of the ball. Fortunately they were mainly restricted to long range efforts even if one was a cracking strike that rattled the bar. Another clean sheet, how many is that in a row at home? Winning by three probably flattered us but the GD needed a boost so it's all good. Decent results elsewhere today, assuming we've given up automatic! Can go to bed happy tonight and look forward to Tuesday night although with Blackburn scrapping for survival it might well be a less entertaining game than last night. Just hope I can shake off the last of this head cold that's been hanging around for over a week. Sitting in the freezing cold all night is not great when you've got earache!
