Glad for Knowles, just rewards for a great second half, aided by having Knight and pace next to him.

Reeves also more pivotal today and has now proven (in this formation anyways) Doyle not needed.

Does KW slot straight back in? Do we change from 3 at the back now confidence is rising? Interesting times.
The do we or do we not start with Wootton will no doubt be subject to some debate over the course of this week. For me it has to be a yes. Knight did more effective work off the ball than on it today and he scuffed a couple of chances when clear through but I'm fully aware he needs time and patience to bed in and find his way.

Hartlepool are going to be a much tougher test than Woking on paper so it's on this basis I would prefer Wootton to start against Hartlepool and then give Knight some time after the hour mark when defences are tiring where he can use his pace alongside Knowles or see how he can combine with Wootton like against Wrexham.
