Must say that Tomlin and Paterson made a huge difference. Considering they both looked well short of match fitness to me, they can only get better. Tomlin is different class at "No 10" and could still be the key to our season come May. You get what you see with Peltier. Warnock favourite who's a strong man to man marker and gives his all, but beyond that nothing. I hope Bennett isn't too damaged.
Hoilett and Mendez playing again like they did the first half dozen games of the season sparked the side last night - Ipswich couldn't cope with them. Quite impressed with Bogle but again needs more game under his belt - will he get them though? Ward looks like becoming the club's "supersub" and if Zohore is ready he'll play at Bristol. Otherwise another start for Omar is on the cards.
Not sure about the middle of the park spots though. I still don't see Bamba as a natural fit. Perming the right 3 (or even 4 if you look at it that way) from Ralls. Tomlin, Gunnar, Damour and Bryson will be crucial. Long term Bamba should only be a last ditch option. He's a centreback and needs to get back alongside Morro. Unless we play with 3 centre backs and use Paterson and Bennett to push on wide, Manga will have to wait for another chance.
You can't do better than take all three points and after that stalemate against Millwall it was welcome relief. Excellent win for the Wurzels at Fulham last night sets up next Saturday to be a corker.
