But there’s no doubt that we made hard work of what should have been a very easy fixture. Let’s be honest we were all hoping for 3 or 4 goals before the game started.

Goal scoring remains the biggest problem. We have loads of possession but lack cutting edge to finish teams off.

Today a defender stepped up and got us off the hook but that’s not going to happen every game and Roberto needs to find a way to get the forward attacking players to score more often.

Another worry is the amount of goals that we're conceding from set pieces; our last 3 goals against in the league have all come from free kicks, which was one of our strengths last season.

I was quite impressed by McGeady. I would like to see him start a game.

But for a superb Marshall and a dive by Campbell that was a 5-0 drumming.

@Llyod - nail - head - Not to mention that clear penalty on Delafeou in the first half that wasn't given, which was conveniently ignored by everyone.

Happy with the points to be honest. Was not expecting anything different than a narrow win. We did create the chances today so not so concerned about that as others.

With the obvious caveat mentioned at length in another thread the other results went well for us - assuming (1) Liverpool do not win the title (but now they just might) and (2) the Champions League is out of reach for us (it really is methinks). But for us getting into Europe it was a great weekend. Its ours to give away now.

The pre-Martinez regime was on the whole, negative and the relegation thing was even mentioned! I like him and think with a summer of doing things in the transfer market will shape our team to progress next season...I hope!
