.. was limping quite badly on the pitch after the game, right leg.
Hopefully just a dead leg, or bad cramp... but it didn't look good from my seat in the very front row of the lower tier.
So before anyone moans about him being subbed, that'll be why.
Rowlands has been injured for most of this year, so it was obvious why he was taken off too. Looked knackered after about an hour... not surprisingly.
Still didn't stop a few plums near me from abusing Magilton for the changes, but they were forced on him, rather than choice.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't fault a single one of those players tonight, or the manager. Proud of them.
JM picked a good side, with a good shape, and made the subs he had to - when he had to.
Nice to see Amit Bhatia on the pitch after the game too, clapping the fans and looking happy and proud to be there.
If there is such a thing as losing to Chelsea, but having a decent night - that was it.
