Well, just turned off the stream...
Looked like we were carrying on where we left off at Leicester, then got our mojo back for the second half. Quicker, snappier and dominated possession, shame we stood off so much in the first half.
For me, MOM Calderon, the only player who didn't look out of place for the whole game from the first minute. Buckley was next to get into stride, he's pretty quick and keeps going. Hope nothing more than a slight knock. Greer was good and nice to see that we have another ball-playing centre back in Cook. Elphick will have to improve his punditry skills at this rate.
Bridcutt then bossed the second-half, and have to give special praise to the revelation of the night, Vincelot at left-back who was class throughout, especially against that one-man gamesmanship machine, Kuyt. He could well end up taking Painter's position with displays like that.
CMS had the kind of game he'll want to forget, and Noone was heavily involved and enthusiastic, but struck the only decent chance we had all game straight at Reina, and can't take a corner for toffee.
Finally Ankergren. I like him, but he'd be the first I would replace. However good his distribution is can't compensate for his woefulness in the air.
Awaiting Mr Burns to say that Barnes' penalty really should have been saved....
and Vicente - glimpses of brilliance...roll on Leeds and Palace
