A fantasic result and a performance that was both hard working and solid.
My mom was Leather.
Don't want to be negative but it does alarm me is the fact Turley didn't have to make a save.
And he did bottle it with the formation
I'd say that Turley didn't have to make a save due to how well protected he was by his soild defence. They seemed to block everything.
Likewise Stuart was protected well (although a bit busier) by Luca and Scott.
It seemed like two pretty evenly matched teams and given the size of their wage bill, the fact they had conceded 4 before today and were unbeaten I was happy to be matching them.
I wanted to see some players angry at the way we whimpered out of the playoffs and I think we got that today. So for all the no bottle quotes we have given them on here after Trafford then they are rightly getting praise today.
It's about opinions but for me playing a formation that worked well against a bottom side in a top of the table clash would have been a gamble. It might have worked, but if we'd lost 3-0 I think that posts would have said he shouldn't have tried a new system in a big game like this.
I still think the other formation is the way to go though but can't be anything other than made up that we have put one over of this lot.
