I think Cox got it right last night, we sat back and they couldn’t break us down. I have a feeling if we went all out attack we would have been picked off.

Ideally we all want to see attacking football but I feel last night was one of those games we simply needed to dig in, they’re more than a decent side at this level. Top 6 side after 10 games so they were no mugs.

Also, we have a number of players who aren’t even fully match fit…they’ll get better with more games.

100% agree.

Sometimes performances like last night need to put be into context: experienced players with hardly any training/games behind them; sat in the relegation zone; manager under pressure.

I don’t want to be watching that in 3 months time IF we are sat mid-table, but last night was a crucial win.
