1) The Defence ; I thought it was solid today, MK only had one proper chance and were restricted to a few long range shots, which Michel dealt with comfortably. I thought that with 11 on the field, we looked solid and comfortable and even pushed both full backs up field. With 10 men, and Bennett at right back, we still looked comfortable and calm and we've only conceeded 1 goal for the last couple of games, that is encouraging and it's improving as a unit, the midfield screened them well today aswell and the team as a whole defended stoutly.
2) Adam El-Abd ; Blatant red card, but it was a decent shot when he was one on one from the angle and actually didn't look completely out of place today. And then the karate kick, and the deserved red card. Half competant at right back, but will always be a liability.
3) Liam Dickinson ; What a shift he put in. I thought he looked a bit rubbish today on the ball at times, and then an absolute magician at other times with some of his mazy runs. Such an enigma, but the one thing you couldn't argue today was how hard he worked for the team, the running he did to put people under pressure and to make space for others. Russell Slade said we'd have the most hard working an industrious side, and it's starting to be proven.
4) Glenn Murray.
He's back BABY.
5) Good performance ; We played well! We dominated them even with 10 men, Gary Dicker is an absolute legend in the centre of midfield and as far as I am concerned if we had played a central midfield duo of Dicker and Crofts with Forster on the left, Dickinson on the right and Murray through the centre would have worked rather well. But instead, Thornhill came on for some reason. I was VERY encouraged by the performance today and if we continue to perform as we are at the moment, we WILL get the results.
It's not always about negatives.
Russell Slade is the man for this job and he's getting us more organised and more able to actually achieve results... give him time and a little bit of patience, and we'll have an Albion to be proud of.
