I like Hoff- you can see what they are trying to do- play a possession based 4-2-2-2 that morphs into a wide 4-2-3-1 in a slow buildup. They want to put bodies in the box, move the ball back outside, and cross in from wide.

But- the CB trying to play through the middle there was absolute madness. Their CBs are alright but not consistently good enough to pull this play off against us. I rate them about the same level as Soton. Like Soton, they are also in a relegation battle this season.

This is a good win for us to get some rhythm back. Should be interesting to see if we can get back on track in the Prem on Sunday. I would rate Leicester as better than Soton or Hoff by a decent measure. Certainly they have some better players than these teams that always seem to be able to nick one off us.

Maddison MOTM for me.
 
In his first few appearances for us, Bergvall took some mean corners for us and was very impressive IMO. Been relieved of those duties for some reason.
