Overall, I dont see how anyone can complain too much about any of that, although I agree that most of the second half was a difficult watch because of the amount of ball they had and chances they created. A definite improvement though and with 9 games to go we have more points than all of last season and are pretty safe in the table.
The only bit of real quality I can recall in the first half is what lead to the goal, other than that it was dreadful. The play was so slow and ponderous 'Pass sideways, sideways, back to the keeper, hit it long' if Diédhiou did win the header, there was no one there to pick it up. I think Wilson-Esbrand has been a real good signing and he was always looking to get forward and make the overlap, but he was one of the few players to play with any urgency.

I'm happy with the wins, but I'm not deluded to ignore the fact we got three wins against three really poor teams by playing poorly.
