The single most significant factor today was playing McCormack in his proper position. He could have had a hat trick.
I am not going to have a pop at anyone because I thought the attitude and commitment was immense. It should be for every game.

Aidy White beating Bale for pace was great to see too. I'm with Rich all the way, I thought Diouf, Varney and McCormack worked well together. With both goals my first thought was "Becchio would never have been able to do that." I really hope that's the last of him but actually I fear he won't go in the transfer window and Warnock will start playing him again. Brown was captain and he played a captain's game, should be captain full time. He's an "enforcer" i.e. a nasty little piece of work but he broke up their midfield, had the measure of Parker for the whole game. Peltier was my MOTM just for that mazing challenge in the dying moments of the game. Anyway, Rich and Rob said it all, 11 heroes tonight. I really hope this is the starting line up from now on.
