Strujik just didn't work again in the KP role. He's good defensively but doesn't cover the gaps, find space and create like KP does. Saying that, he did look better in the 2nd half. I'd be glad to see him back in defence though.

Shackleton had a good game and it was really pleasing to see Roberts come on and play well. Also glad to see Huggins come on for so many minutes. I was a little bemused at first why Bielsa sent him into midfield - almost thought he'd lost the plot since Huggins spends 90% of his U23 time at full back or on the wing. He did well though in all 3 positions he played.

I've heard a bit abut Bamfords penalty claims. I had no complaints and really think Cooper's reprieve in the 1st half was more of a penalty.

Really pleased with the way we came back in the 2nd half and the performance of the youngsters and fringe players. At the start of the season, we weren't supposed to win away games like this. Next ...
A very good description of the match and us in general.
