I thought Chezzy looked decent. I think Saunders is a good manager, unlucky that Wolves called him in when they were on their arse. Let's not forget he took Doncatraz up when we failed.
At times it looked like we were the away team. They played us high up the pitch, we pushed the full backs on, it made for quite an open game. It was commendable that we went for them from the off at the. Start of both halves. Rewarded each time with a goal from forcing the issue on each occasion. Such positivity (with two up top) bodes well for the home games. However, there were two moments where Howard saved us. I'm on the kop now so both were at the wrong end but both looked like saves that were worth a goal.
I'm positive about what I saw but it was by no means a comfortable 2-0.
We had positive forward running. Che gave their full back a torrid time, scored two good goals, showed a bit of rawness at other times but he's very exciting and will have relieved some pressure from the Murphy sale. Edgar looked solid. The team as a whole threw their bodies on the line for some last ditch blocks.
I left feeling positive but we didn't sweep them aside. If they end up in the top six then that's ok. If they're actually bottom feeders then that's a bit of a worry.
As an aside, it felt like a good atmosphere and a positive one where I was. I've said before, if we can absorb five percent of the manager's optimism and positivity to change the general pessimism of being a blade then we will be a force of nature.
Onward and upward.
