That's the standard. Need to be at that level every game from now until the end of the season. If we are, we'll go up.
Who'd have thought Dennis would be the hero?! Like everyone else, I've been pretty underwhelmed with his performances from the bench recently but I could see the logic in starting him. He's probably most similar striker to Dean in our squad. Constantly looking to run in behind and be a proper nuisance to defenders by chasing everything down. It's easy to forget he's still a kid, only 21, and hasn't played much football at all recently. Maybe a run in the side is what he needs.
I don't want to keep criticising him as it'll almost look like I have an agenda against him, I don't. However, even though he scored, I wasn't impressed with Dennis. I don't think he offers anywhere near enough and his movement off the ball is poor. He missed a glorious chance in the first half and looked uncomfortable with the ball at feet. What I can't take away from him is the two very important goals he has scored for us.
I thought Harrison actually offered more when he came on and held the ball up really well. We looked better as a team with Harrison on the pitch, even though he didn't score but Dennis did.
If I was to pick standout players from this game, then Gilbey is well at the top of that list and I'd say that could well have been his best ever game for us. Bate also brilliant and Lofthouse had his best game for us.
