Thought we were very good today. Looked solid, and unlike last weekend much better on the ball going forward - particularly in latter stages of the first half and the 2nd half.
Our goal came at a good time after some consistent pressure, from some decent play. Some passes to feet down the left, a couple of pen claims before the ball came to Porter, who showed good awareness to pick out Coady who finished well.
Their goal was an excellent effort from range, though we probably could have done better to defend it as Cox capitalised on a poor header out from Maguire I believe. Thereafter there were chances for both, the best of which saw Murphy break and get a shot away, and Long tip round the post late-on.
Overall, encouraging. The defence was solid, as was the midfield. Up front Porter & Baxter worked hard and seemed to develop an understanding. I thought everyone had a decent game today - first time I've said that for a while.
Fans were excellent too.
