Moxon looked really nervous at first, but got better and better as the game went on. One thing I noticed was how many good headers he won in deep midfield,which is something you don't get from Lowery.
Yengi was very bright and deserved a goal for his performance (and I don't see anyone criticising him for it being 'only a penalty' !) but I worry slightly that the team is set up to play to Bishop's strengths and Yengi's strengths are different. The result is we spent more time than ideal playing the ball across the back than we would have done if the ball up to Bishop had been available.
I suspect though the injury to Lowery is going to be the most significant thing to come out of the game. To go the rest of the season without Pack or Moxon getting injured or suspended is highly unlikely so a plan B is needed. Recalling HJW from H&W is an option, or playing Shaughnessy or Ogilvie there might work. How long till Stevenson is back ?
