So poor that I felt entirely relaxed that one goal would be enough.

Lord D old chap. Agree the stats confirm your overall feeling about our superiority, although I cannot agree the Bees were poor.
They looked fast, slick and had several attempts which required last ditch goal line clearances from our defence.
We were much more effective in the second half, especially after Clark came on.
My point is that, in the main, our victories or draws are thanks to our superb defence who perform heroics every week.
Yesterday's win was down to another backs-to-the-wall defensive display & one superbly hit free-kick.
Let's not allow yesterdays victory to disguise the shortcomings we still appear to suffer in midfield.
