Only caught the second half today so missed the best of it. Some interesting points raised above.
As mentioned, the pitch can only have been narrowed by inches if at all.
Twose is a good player, yes. He has a slightly different approach to central midfield play than Siopis. I thought it was interesting he came on to replace Colwill against Southampton, I felt it would've made sense to bring Ashford inside to carry on where Colwill left off but it was a big vote of confidence to put Twose in there and he did nothing wrong that night (until, very unluckily, he did do something wrong).
I felt Dennis was a bit unlucky with the 2nd goal. The guy absolutely nailed the shot and there seemed to be a bit of movement on it. I could understand him not catching it but it was impossible to deflect it wide or over either so he had to trust to luck a bit. He should've done better but I had some sympathy for him.
I'm with TOBW about Reindorf, it's staggering to me that he's not in the first team squad. Not perfect today, he never is and I'm not expecting him to be, but each time I see him he seems to have added something else to his game. We were struggling second half but he never stopped tracking back to help out in midfield, putting pressure on defenders or making himself available when we did get the ball. He's fit, confident, got goals in him, makes things happen (that chip came from his hassling and out of nothing) and never stops trying. He must wonder what more he can do.
Not only was Kpakio not there today but neither was Will Spiers. One or both may have knocks, of course, but say we play 3/5 at the back tonight then they could both do wing back as well as any other option I'd have thought (as could Bagan on the other side). I assume Purse is with the first team again today which would help with their introduction. It's the hope that kills you though.
