Result is everything with 6 to go, and that is what we got. Thought we played fairly well in the 2nd half, and did create opportunities that on another day would have gone in.
Had Adrian not seemed to grab onto Flanno's leg after the initial contact is made, then a harsh call, but as it was I don't think he has a choice but to give it. Migs arm was definitely caught by Carroll so an unfortunate call there. All in all I think we deserved the win.
Got to love Fat Sam's comments after the game about the long ball and how Stevie had gone long more than anyone - he needs to understand the difference between a long pass (which we do) and the long ball (which they do). Long ball pass of the day for me was Heemio's to Sturridge - now that would have been some goal if he had connected right.
