I was surprised that Sharp didn't grab at least 1 goal when he came on, he normally does against us. And it sounded like McBurnie was lazy for them again and just trotted around the pitch, and I see there was no game time at all for Hourihane.
They could still be a Play off team when it matters at the end of the season, but on the basis of that first half today it sounded like they could well have been thrashed had it been against a top team.

It goes back to how good Val was at man management and remember how much the players really wanted to play for him, there was respect there you could see that. I don't like the idea of players only turning it on when they go 2 or 3 goals behind, but that final 15 minutes does give us something to hope for in the next few games.

The next starting line up and the way we play in that next first half is going to be another big indication as to whether the players are for or against Schopp's ideas and tactics.
