No one is pointing out that we saw something we have not seen for ages-- team management A game plan for the game according to needs and ability. A very smart and brave subbing. The team was and is still under pressure. But when that pressure went we saw what will be. Rutter is simply a bonnie footballer. There is so much talent there waiting to flower. We kept a clean sheet not by fluke and when one up we played the situation well. We need time & a modicum of luck
