Superb 2nd half after an uninspiring first half. Hutch could have been easily sent off first half and spent too much time near our defence rather than pushing the team forward as Bannan. To save a sending off CC was right to sub him. McGeady had some good moments but his change for Nuhiu turned the game. With his new shorter hair, the big man was a revelation, he had a huge impact, fighting for every ball, causing their defense to double up on him which freed up space for FF and Hoops. It was basically one way traffic in the 2nd half. I also like the way Nuhiu reacts with the crowd, trying to lift them and get them going. As our attacking increased so did the noise from the crowd, it seemed the first goal had to come, it was a great ball into the box for Lees to head in. Lopez had a good half too, he was more attack minded than Hutch which helped us push forward. It is great to have a manager who can see our problems and react to them quickly. Rather then 'seeing how it goes in the 2nd', he was brave enough to make the changes immediately. Well done CC.

Today was a good day to be an Owl. A big crowd which helped us in the 2nd half. Some good performances, 3 goals and other results going for us. We now have 2 weeks to recharge, get players fit and work on any refinements on the training ground. We have 8 more games to go which will hopefully put us in the play offs. Come on Wednesday... lets do this!!
