Review
Just one day after Karanka resigned and we got a team that looked like they missed him. There was no composure and went down to 10 men when Danny Fox mouthed off too much to the referee after a spectacular melee involving both teams, and then Darikwa went straight away for a stupid lunge late on. Miss Karanka much? Yep. So, 9 men, an own goal, but still only four points off the playoffs. It'll be a shame if we get to them without Karanka though.
