Andy King had done a number of changes and it all was like a new start, but as we said in our earlier article, far from what we would have done. Nice to see Jamaal Lascelles in there from start, having doubts about his fitness, but still a solid performance from the newly arrived defender.

Asmir Begovic, sorry, is a downgrade from Jacub Stolarczyk, but he has not been convincing. Why they continue to play these two, when you have Fran Vieites at the club, is a riddle. Signing a goalkeeper from abroad to just have him as a third choice, is a special act and strange.

A number of changes been made in January, having seen Janice Cayman (PSV Eindhoven), Katie Keen (Sheffield United), Nelly Las (Ipswich), Simone Sherwood (Sheffield United) and Hlin Eriksdottir (Fiorentina) all have left club, either on loan or permanent. Cayman has gone permanent, the four others are out on loan.
