We brought in three players in James, Connolly and Sterling who have barely played a game between them in months and still we got a deserved point away to a team who are on a great run at home. We had more attempts on goal and on target than they did. It might feel disappointing whenever we don't win because we have great momentum and belief, but honestly this was a great point that bodes really well I think. The quality of player we had on the bench, and even some of the one's who weren't in the matchday squad, is staggering considering we still managed to get something from the game.
Please please can we not start casting judgement on players like Connolly just yet. I know everyone is only commenting on the game, but I feel we need to cut some slack to those like him and James who just haven't been selected much. It isn't that easy to be suddenly shoved back in the first team having been out for ages, they'll be a bit rusty and like most players need a run of games to show what they can do. Not saying these guys will turn out to be stars necessarily, but I think they deserve a chance to prove themselves to the fans - and by chance I mean more than the odd game every seven or eight weeks.
