On the balance of play have to take that as we were very poor for long spells

They have some good players admittedly.

Early goal masked the fact we never had any kind of control of that game. Pukki should have made it two which might have made a difference to the pattern of play I suppose but we were giving them too much space in midfield for most of the game.

I do not ever want to see PLM and Kenny playing together in a midfield two again at this level. Neither was bad but it just does not work and it worries me that Smith tried it tonight. I guess he must really have felt he had no choice.
