[WBA-Josh]

Today was a great performance and win. We pressed them well when their centre backs had the ball before defending as a solid, deep unit when they had the ball in midfield. Credit to Irvine, Kelly and Downing for getting the team perfectly drilled.

Dawson and Lescott as a partnership was very good. Lescott just oozes class and Dawson was very solid so I hope they are kept together for the foreseeable future. Also Sessegnon gave us what we have been missing. We have missed someone in between the midfield and strikers who can link up the play as well as being very good on the ball with plenty of pace to run at the Spurs defence. He and Berahino linked up very well together.

For next week, I think the same back 4 should be kept as they did nothing wrong today and Sessegnon and Berahino should be kept together as their understanding is getting better. In midfield, I think Morrison and Gardner together is fine but I would still bring in an attacking player to replace Dorrans or Brunt out wide. My choice would be Blanco on the right side in place of Dorrans to give us more attacking emphasis out wide as Blanco is very good on the ball, can create chances for the other forward players and has good pace to run at opposition defenders.
