The stats looked more promising at least. We bossed possession and got the most shots off it too.
It still looks a very odd side to me on paper. BUT whatever selection I come up with looks odd too. That's just GC's legacy I suppose, but we did field four full backs and two centre backs. And we still conceded two. And maybe that's why we look sloppy in possession, a proper midfielder looks after the ball.
But yes fighting back with a late goal is always a good sign. Not having to come back is even better though. But then I didn't expect Jack to turn us straight round. We weren't like Barnsley the other year, potentially a very good side in need of an electric shock. Our squad is/was poor to dreadful, but we can get fitter and more organised and play to a plan all the players understand and agree with.
