some sensible substitutions from the manager, plus the totemic Alan Hutton to help guide us over the line

It makes me happy to read both of these true things. How long has it been since we have had a manager who does sensible subs? And Hutton is just excellent.

Two good things to take from the evening, as well as the three important points.

I heard and saw the 21 minute applause and I must admit to not knowing at the time what it was for - and neither did anyone around us

Was it advertised as being done anywhere prior as I did not see anything - real shame as its such a worthy cause
