I quite like it when the Boro game is rescheduled for a Friday night. I appreciate that it messes things up for those who have to travel a fair distance, but for me the freeing up of my Saturday works a treat.
I picked up Harry and Tom and an added Friday bonus was that we were able to park closer to the ground than we usually do.
Rob Edwards had made some changes after the draw at Preston. Strelec and Nypan came in to claim what will likely be regular starting berths. Lenihan was out, either with a new injury or for careful management of his previous one, depending upon which report you believed. George Edmundson slotted into the back three and got his head to everything including someone else’s skull. That gave him a big egg on one eye and meant he had to be subbed before half-time. He did very well though and, as we are short of centre-halves at the moment, hopefully it won’t keep him out for long.
We looked the better side without ever really dominating and first Boro goals for Strelec and Sene clinched the points. Morris and Hackney were a class above in midfield and must be the best central pairing in the division. The win maintained our unbeaten start to the season and took us four points clear of second placed Stoke. How does it go? Oh, yes. We are top of the league, say, we are top of the league.
