Towin, Lees was clearly pushed from under the ball, you can see both Mitrovic's hands outstretched into Lees before he takes the ball on his chest. Lees complained to the ref straight after the goal but obviously realised there was no point. I agree about Bannan, his passing is nowhere near as good as last season and he slows the game too much for my liking. I still think there's a good player in there though.
I'm afraid the reason we don't play like that every week is that not every team comes to try and take us on at open football. Newcastle back themselves to outplay most teams in the division and it made for an entertaining game. Same with Norwich and to a lesser extent Bristol City. The 3 most exciting games I can think of this season. Teams like Burton and Rotherham have come and just put ten men behind the ball to try and frustrate us and it has worked in a lot of cases and makes for dull games. I'm not sure we've quite got the drive in our play to consistently find a way through obstinate defences.
