Indeed, nice to have a win at last! Mind you, whilst Griffiths stood little chance with Valecano's second goal, he really should not have been beaten by that bounce for their first.

With both Bany and Dike out to September and Maja not ready yet, I think that today's starting team selection (Griffiths, Furlong, Phillips, Heggem, Styles, Fellows, Molumby, Mowatt, Johnston, Grant and Heggebo) may be the one against Blackburn with the exception of maybe Price in for Molumby.

Good win against a good side but their first goal was embarrassing! Griffiths just full of mistakes!

Molumby is a real asset. Time and time again he drives the team, and comes up with important goals. He’s the kind of player you would always want on your team not theirs. Price should be in there too though. It might be a case of what player is best for what match.

Much prefer Price as he?s got far more talent
and creativity than Molumby. Love the tenacity of Molumby but for me he?s too inconsistent and does not pair well with Mowatt, Price every time for me!

Price is a different player and lots of talent as you say. When its backs to the wall though I prefer Molumby. I think Molumby doesnt get the credit he deserves sometimes. Love Price though.

If it was 2 out of 3 for the midfield between Molumby, Mowatt and Price I would certainly go for Molumby and Price. I don't think Mowatt can hack it at this level anymore.

I like Molumby Boingy but sadly he?s very inconsistent and he?s the same for Ireland where the Irish fans have booed him, To me he?s like Swift was - great on the day but goes missing too much. Prefer him to Mowatt though.

Ideally we would have three great midfielders and if one has an off day you can still get away with it. When a midfield is just ok you really notice if one of them under performs.
