Agree with the comment that's a game we would not have won even a year ago and could well have lost.
As for the changes we had to do something and I dont think the smoke being blown up the Managers arse is warranted.. At half time we simply had to change something and asking probably one of this seasons most influential players to strut his stuff was not a call of a genius, it was a call going out from 90% of us there. First half we simply were not at it and how Weston did not start is really puzzling.
The starting line up and the bench today asked serious questions about the depth of our squad. If Phipps was ready to start that game then my god we are scratching for numbers. If he started then it can only be a guess how far Rance is ready for a start, the lad looked like he has not played for nearly two years yet still got the nod over Rance and Scott.
Think the game changer was moving Vehlitte into the middle myself , him and Robnson took the game by the scruff of the neck .
Saunders is no wing back by the way ok going forward but defensively looks very weak . Think its time to get Ling back in that role and only use Saunders as an attacking option.
The other observation is the pitch we played on it was nowhere near as good as what it looked and by mid winter that will be an allotment , so glad that one is out the way as when the weather turns that ain't going to be an easy place to dig out a result.
Another poor referee. The penalty shout was a clear penalty and he seemed to bottle the sending off that number 2 Fernandez should have got for the deliberate hand ball minutes after already being booked.
All in all a very a good result even if the Performance was not the best.
