Just had a read through the thread. Firstly, I'm not sure we were as bad as some were suggesting at half time. We looked nervy at times, and Easty had a bit of a mare, but we also had some moments where we really took the game to Sheff.Wed and Moore's head a foot either side gives us the lead.
Wildschut and Murphy weren't great, but I don't think they were the liabilities that some were labeling them as. In fact, overall I though Murphy had a reasonable game and was more involved in the second half.
Easty knew that he'd had a bad half and pulled out 2 or 3 great stops early in the second half that set the tone for what was to come. Gats was excellent, but I do worry that he looks like someone perfect to bring on rather than someone to start the game. He links well with Joseph, who worked incredibly hard all game and both just need to add the finishing touches to become very good strikers at this level.
Browne and Brown were both very good too, but I also thought that McGuane was excellent but plays the sort of game that often goes under the radar. Brannagan was more effective too in the second half and was constantly talking and encouraging those around him. Moore, Findlay and Long were all solid at the back, although Long's distribution wasn't great in the first half. Negru looked the part when he came on and I'd have no worries if he started against Port Vale, although after his display I wouldn't be surprised to see Fleming on the left and Brown alongside Findlay.
However, the most impressive thing was how we saw out the game. I wasn't at all worried to see 8 minutes go up and thought that it would just give us longer to snatch a win. The Fleming clearance made my a-hole twitch and I wasn't sure what was going on with the drop ball at the end, but that aside we dealt with the last 20 minutes with a real calmness that can only be a good thing as we go through the next 4 weeks.
