Meant to post this earlier - for the first time in ages we played superbly against 10 men, moving the ball around, waiting for openings and tiring their team out. Their number 11 was annoying but to give him his due he worked his socks off. The whole team was drained towards the end - just what was needed to prevent any chance of a fight back.
 
Glad someone raised this.

A few people sat near me were moaning constantly because we weren't gung-ho.

But we played it brilliantly. The way we played in small pockets and then stretched the game by switching play was excellent. This was the reason why Adkins earned a 9/10 from me on the match ratings.

Also liked the fact all the players were interchanging positions. Seeing Flynn/Coutts/Adams all played across the midfield at some point.

Its stitching things like this together for longer periods and then for whole matches that Im looking forward to.
