Were we lucky? A bit, but City only managed 5 shots on target and apart from the goal, Field's headed goal line clearance and Wells header just wide from Ashby's careless chest to Nardi were the only moments of real jeopardy. Big call out to Field who wasn't on the line by chance. but knew where the danger was and put himself there to make exactly that clearance.

Can we carry on playing like this with 30% possession and still pick up points? I don't think so. In the last few games luck has been on our side - goals ruled out, long range humdingers going wide (in previous games they found the net), teams that can't score. And we've had an excellent keeper and defence, except at left back. Varane, Field and Morgan have been tireless in midfield, ably supported by Saito and Smyth. And maybe a mention for Madsen, but he does need to learn how to take a corner.

At some point the luck will change back again and although we have players coming back from injury we'll have to relearn how to pass the ball through the opposition midfield. Chair and Colback are the players who can do that and then we will have more possession. I hope.

Cook was superb again, but MotM has to be Smyth for his all round work rate and that sublime moment.

Even the players I've scored lowest Andersen and Ashby worked really hard so difficult to score them too low. Andersen really struggling I think but ran and ran and ran. Even screamed out in anguish at one point audible from my seat in the away end. Fair play to him. Two players got 7 Smyth and Varane with PS MOM for me. All the rest 6. Can't fault anyone's commitment. We just need to find a bit of quality from somewhere.
