Watching Sunday’s game from the comfort of home, I felt so proud of the Lads for their performance and togetherness Looking at our starting eleven, we were — including the goalkeeper — missing four players from our usual defensive set up. Unfortunately that was exposed early in the game and a lesson to be learnt, but how the lads responded was full of inspiration and in my opinion, we were the more committed team and most likely to win the game — in other words, we were the better team throughout and deserved the three points. The most pleasing aspect of the win was the spirit shown.
We moved the ball quicker, had a focal point and wherever possible, we got a shot away, which is something that’s been lacking in our home games. The squad does need improving but we must remember that it’s our first season back in the Premier League. We’ve achieved our first goal in survival and next year, we push on.
