Review:
A better looking first half, but the sending off of Benalouane early in the second half was a turning point. We let in a long range first goal and couldn't come back. On another note, Jack Colback got a yellow card meaning he's now facing a three match ban for the final three games of the season. This maybe the last time we see him?
