I thought Dolman was superb. I've not seen a centre half ping dead accurate passes with both feet since Darren Bradshaw. ELJ was also superb but needs a touch more accuracy on his final ball. Midfield didn't work for me although Bunts &Brad both worked hard, I worry Bunts will get a red for those late tackles. Calm down son we're better with you on the pitch.

That's a pretty big comparison to draw! Darren Bradshaw remains to this day one of my favourite players to have represented either incarnation of the club that I've supported. If Dolman turns out to be half as good, I'll be delighted!

As for the result, it was the very least we expected and certainly won't have impressed anyone else in the UCL (quite the opposite, I imagine), but here's to another 39 unconvincing victories this season.

We must be lulling them into a false sense of security then, its a good plan
