A superb away performance. I never really felt Southend were good enough to get back into the game, and while they huffed and puffed for the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Scott did not have a save to make and there was a gulf in class between the two sides. Some of our passing and movement was excellent, and the only slight concern was the number of excellent balls we fizzed across the box which were not attacked, the one area where we missed Vaughan tonight. We will have to be more ruthless with our finishing against better sides.
As Sparky says, all credit to Keith for the experimental formation, with Feeney in a deeper role and Lewis leading the line.
I thought everybody played well, but Spearing, Feeney and Woolery in particular were excellent, and there was some great link up play down the left hand side between MacDonald and Lloyd, who was probably my man of the match.
The other results were quite favourable and we now find ourselves only two points off the top. All to play for.
