I would normally agree with that but with last night's euphoria wearing off and in the cold light of today, I thought we were a touch lucky not to have been 2 or3 goals down at half time. The problem seemed to me that our 2 holding midfielders, although battling well, were absolutely non-productive in a creative sense. Both opted to move the ball forward without the faintest ability to find a team mate and this enabled Rochdale to come flooding back at us with their neat approach play, threatening to overwhelm our backline worryingly. Linganzi and you know who solved that problem, but I think keeping Gray and Wilson in the starting 11 would give us a formidable attacking line-up without compromising our defence. Agree with others that Aldred was immense!
