442 seems to suit us; the players are comfortable with it, Grainger plays better in it, it cuts out a lot of the hoof-ball and 2 up top provides goals. All the time at home please.The play leading to our second goal was wonderful, though it didn't stop a few near me in the Paddock tutting and moaning - they're not used to us keeping possession for more than 10 seconds. The penalty was for a punch during open play spotted by a linesman. Fair play to the ref for giving it. As you say, Adams' injury was self-inflicted and we'll have to see how the knee looks once any swelling has gone. I think Bennett did as well as he could against a giant who was in his back most of the time and he'll need to learn how to come off his man if he wishes his career to progress. His distribution on the ground is improving though, and I think we've got a useful player for our 50 grand.

Above all though, I think the players - and supporters - learned a lot about patience yesterday. We bossed the possession stats and you could see that increasing confidence as the game went on. That made it a useful day all round.

Nice report Piglet, thanks.
