Can't argue with you there, he changed the way we looked completely, got a goal and linked up well with midfield and Nuhiu. Putting Nuhiu to one side for the moment, I am excited to see how Joao and Forestieri do as a partnership, Joao is a much better player than when they last played together and I reckon FF can really bring out the best in him. What can you say about Nuhiu, 2 more goals, a poor first half but not real support, give him a partner who causes the defence problems and he shines once again!!! He is earning that extension, thats for sure and if we can offload Fletcher instead I would be ok with him staying.
Defence did ok today, the back three of Lees, Venancio and Pudil look solid. Still lacking a left sided player but with FF back that should probably be reach. Hunt had a decent game until he went off, palmer is a back up at best. Midfield struggled in the first half but did better in the second, but that was because we were able to spread the play by having Joao and Nuhiu up top. Bannan is so much better than Jones or Butterfield, its like night and day. Pelupessy does the simple things very well, nothing flashy but needs to get into the game more like Bannan does.
On the whole as imre said a tale of two very different halves but that second half was about as good as we have seen all season, capped of with a Forestieri free kick!!! Relegation fears over, lets build for next season now and see who we should stick with.
