Not a stellar performance, but the points were important and that winning feeling will be good for the players I'm sure and we can try and muster up some momentum. I suppose if anything it just goes to show what you can do when you put faith in youth as Azeez and NGW caused Rotherham problems and looked threatening, whereas Fornah popped up with the winner even if he wasn't outstanding.
Agreed with P.Ince about we never really blow teams away, Blackburn aside, so when you haven't won for half a dozen games then just getting the win and grinding it out is important and a good characteristic to have. It leaves us in a far better position in the table and points wise as well, even if others have to play.
Azeez and NGW did well when they came on, it wasn't the teams best performance overall and Carroll gets plaudits for his involvement in both goals. Azeez you feel like is like a traditional winger on the left and can swing those crosses in that Carroll thrives off and Azeez should have scored (or passed to Ince to score) when he got clear of Peltier, that's what he gives us, a threat and that's what we lack. Need to do something similar in our next couple of games.
A lot of pressure taken off Friday now.
