I reckon 18+ points from our final 7 will see us in the playoffs Tall order, but I think Villa did something like that
Did we miss him? Sorensen was decent without too many mistakes. And it worries me that I have written that, mistakes are part of our game. Kenny played a bit further up the pitch with three CB 's behind him and produced some good attacking passes. But will agree that we were, for the most part, second best.
So I stayed up and then went to bed for the final 10 mins, at least I woke up to an unexpected victory. We have now won, drawn and lost 13 games each this season
No I don’t think we missed him, and is it a coincidence that we got our first clean sheet in forever?
Yesterday was our 6th clean sheet this season; Doyle played in the other 5 (Coventry (a), Hull (h), Portsmouth (a), Luton (a), Watford (a)). Against Pompey he was WhoScored MOM. So I think you have to say it is just a coincidence that we got our 6th in Doyle's absence. The clean sheet itself, though, was no coincidence, yesterday being the second time this season that keeping the ball out of our net was prioritised over everything else (Pompey (a) was the other occasion).
According to Connor Southwell on the latest Pink'Un podcast, Crnac suffered a dead leg during the first half yesterday. He came back out for the second half in the hope that it would wear off, but had to be substituted when it didn't. He is expected to be OK for Saturday against Plymouth. [Edit] He appears to suffer the dead leg in an incident involving Albion's No. 27, Mowatt (see the Full 90 play back, from 19:30 onwards). Up to that point Crnac's PS rate was 80%, the same as Sainz and McLean, and considerably better than Sargent; it was after that that his passing suffered.
