Good result. Largely decent performance though we sat off a little too much second half. We dealt with Huddlestone but struggled a little with Aluko's pace and movement. Still much deserved 3 points.
Gabby was excellent, as was Delph. Weimann was lively. Zog was bright in the first half but faded second half. The fullbacks did well.

Jack got absolutely mullered when he came on and it was clearly a gameplan they had should he come on. A couple of slamming tackles to disrupt him, but he kept getting up though to be fair to him and looked good on the ball. Today was a lesson in how he'll get treated by defenders at this level.

In the end they didn't create much and we could have had more than 2. I was just about to put my house on Bent nicking that goal at the end, but it wasn't to be.

7 points from 3 games. We'd have taken that hands down from the first 3. It's nice to get on a good run before heading into a tough run of fixtures.

The Ron injury is possibly a mixed blessing. Hopefully it's enough that he's nailed on to stay for the time being, but not serious enough to keep him out for too long.
