The defence was superb, I really can’t understand why Flint gets so much grief. His partnership with Nelson looks very promising.
We have no right to expect anything, we are not a big club in this division. If we were relegated it would merely be part of the ongoing cyclical nature of football. Leicester, Sheff Utd, Swansea and Bournemouth have all been in level 3 since we last played there and have subsequently flourished. I enjoyed last night, I enjoy most matches apart from the ones where we are beaten heavily at home, and that has only really occurred when we’ve been in the Premier League in recent years (apart from the West Ham, Reading, Boro glitches).
In my lifetime we’ve never had it so good as these last twenty years and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it - apart from the rebrand.
