Definitely improved today, thought we passed and moved a lot better without Craig
Gardner in the midfield.
The front 2 played well, Sessegnon in particular, with great link up play for the goal.
Still don't see the point in Dorrans and Brunt, neither of which were missed when they
were injured - much like Gardner wasn't missed today. I think replacing these with someone
impactful would be a definite improvement.
What I liked today is that Yacob came on when we decided to steady the ship (presumably
a Pulis decision). We looked much stronger for that. He has to be used in these situations
for his positioning and tackling.
