Lumley - nothing to do really but looked assured.
Rangel - solid
Leistner / Lynch - won everything in the air, both gave commanding performances was great to see
Bidwell - quiet game not much to do
Freeman - didn’t do much and guilty of taking too many touches and losing it a few times especially first half
Eze - not really in the game but quality when he had the ball, drew about 6 or 7 fouls in the game through typical neat footwork and quicksilver turns
Loungo - improved performance, back on the front foot with more energy and anticipation
Cousins - good energy and bite alongside Loungo ensured we won the central midfield battle
Hemed - excellent hold up play at times was a real treat to have the ball sticking, worked a couple of chances for himself but couldn’t finish
Wells - excellent movement, coming deep and spinning into channels, plus just puts himself about and is a livewire. Can also carry the ball forward and burst into counter attacks at speed. Unlucky with one or two chances he fashioned for himself.
All in all, we dominated the game start to finish. Brum were really poor. We looked comfortable throughout but could and perhaps should have gone for it, but understandable to some degree given our start to the season. So we played it safe and came away with a point and a clean sheet. Lots of reasons to be optimistic - the front two are already making huge difference to our overall game.
