One thing that was very impressive last night, was after Hull equalised.
Quite often we then end up with our backs to the wall in games following an equaliser, with the opposition pushing for a winner, but we got straight back on it last night and pushed even harder still for the winner ourselves.
Great to see.
I think that Hull had a lot to do with that - they really didn't take the impetus which must have been frustrating for their fans to see.
Frustrating game, but the performance was pretty good albeit against a poor and very accommodating opposition. A bit more conviction and luck from Simms and Wright in specific moments and we'd have won.
MVE had a terrific game, but wish he'd shoot more often and early. He gets into dangerous positions a lot to shoot and doesn't back himself enough, I recall one opportunity to shoot where he squares to Sheaf (who I would back to score less often than MVE from range). MVE has been so much better this season under Lampard though and this was a great game for him.
Rudoni just unplayable all game.
Their keeper did well and held onto some stuff some others would spill, giving us a 2nd chance. All in all you have to say 2 points dropped but encouraged by the confidence with which we played. I don't think any other team we play this season will let us have so much space and possession though, so expect much tougher games. What we lack right now is a striker in form, I'd like to see Simms & Wright again on Friday and ideally they both score!
