Alnwick was inspired that game, producing a string of very fine saves. We defended for our lives at times as they ran us ragged. Alnwick made 6 saves and our defenders blocked 8 other attempts, some last ditched.
I'd regard a 1-0 away win where the opposition don't create much as superb away tactics. I thought one of our biggest smash and grabs was as Leicester in the PL when Camarasa scored late on. In terms of what we created, the Sunderland win was an even bigger smash and grab.
I'm not complaining that we won at Sunderland. Far from it. Claims that we got it spot on tactically are just a load of nonsense. We could have lost it 3-0 and nobody would have said that flattered them. They didn't, had a day when it wouldn't go in but we found a way. 3 points, thank you.
