Agree with practically everything else in DB’s excellent report.
I don’t know how fit he is, but think Stearman needs to return in defence. Hopefully Baldock will be back so Bash can go midfield.
With our (very entertaining) style of play, we were always going to be vulnerable against a fast, skillful counter attacking team.
At least we lost to a team that played football and usually kept three up front - a much more acceptable defeat than the one to the horrible, cynical anti-football team that besmirched the once fair name of Norwich City.
Despite last night’s result, I think 36 points from 18 games is a return far better than anyone could realistically have expected. UTB!!!
