As for the match itself. We weren't quite as good as we were down at West Brom, but we created more chances. We had enough chances, clear cut ones, to have won by five or six nil at least.
The Helik v Hugill scrap was an interesting one. Helik definitely came out on top. Hugill's just a poor man's Charlie Austin.
Last time out, I compared Delano to Rajiv van La Parra. Theo the luddite didn't agree. After today, I'm sticking to that comparison, but I will stick in there, a bit of Theo Robinson and Adama Diakhaby.
The speed of Adama, the tricky feet of Rajiv, but today he had the clumsy look of the Theo. His pass when we had a four on two breakaway was terrible. The one in the second half, breaking away on the left wing, then kicking it straight into touch was pure Diakhaby.
But I like him. He's exciting and you never know what he's going to do next. He faded out of the game before getting taken off, but he was here, there and everywhere in the first half.
Harratt had a good game. Was it his first Championship start? Despite missing two relatively easy chances, he played well. Definitely linked play better than Wardy does and won more headers today than Wardy has all season. But that's not meant as a criticism of him. Wardy does all of his work alone up front. Harratt had a lot of help up top today. We were a lot quicker getting forward.
The two we did score were a mirror of each other with Sorba crossing for Josh and then Josh crossing for Sorba. Yes, Koroma crossed one.
We got some quality crossing done today. Then when ten foot tall Kyle Hudlin came on, all that stopped. We got a corner and played it on the deck.
TalkSport, for whom Neil Warnock is a regular contributer, have tweeted that he's leaving because we have the new manager lined up. Not Nathan Jones, but a "mystery overseas boss".
