Just listening to post match Radio Leeds programme and it's fair to say most think it was a game of two halves but again I stress that despite it being much better second half we still didn't muster 1 shot on target.
In the first half Norwich were awarded the Freedom of the pitch, we just kept retreating. I get we have to keep it tight but the centre half strolled forward with the ball at one point and we backed off that far he decided to have a pop which our keeper comfortably tipped over the top, but he shouldn't be allowed to get that far forward never getting a shot away.
Second half was better, but i think it more of a case of dragging Norwich down to our level rather than Town upping the game. They were hardly Barcelona in the first half.
I agree that Hudlin/Simpson should be given more of a chance given that Waghorn/Ward and Rhodes have all had a chance and most have failed. Simpson is a big lad and will hold the ball up better and Hudlin is a big lad that will obviously cause problems in the air.
I do think we have a basis for a decent first team in League 1 with Turton, REG, Pearson, Ruffles, Jackson, Boyle, Kasumu, Rudoni, Diarra, Jones, Brodie, Camara, Simpson, Bilokapic, Headley amongst them. Most of the senior players can go and probably will one way or another
