For all the talk of the squad overhaul in the summer, it's once again the academy that comes to the fore.
Pratt and Litherland were excellent, Atcheson also had a good game when he came on.
Cantwell, Tronstad, Ohashi all excellent also.
It feels like Gestede has picked out VI for the "project" and he'll be backing him for the full 3 years of his contract.
I don't envisage any situation occurring for the rest of the season that would result in his dismissal, and I include relegation in that.
Only chance he's going if Pasha is stabbing everyone in the back right now in India (and he will be) and putting a case forward that he can salvage everything and turn it all around. That would probably be the end for both VI and RG.
Results will play a part as well.
We have some tough and also some critical fixtures between now and the Watford game:
Millwall - Tough
Middlesbrough - Tough
Sheff Wed - Critical
Wrexham - Critical
Charlton - Critical
Ipswich - Tough
Swansea - Critical
Watford - Boycott
I don't see us picking up many points across those whole set of fixtures but there could be some devastating losses in there. If we're in the bottom 3 by the time Watford come to town, we might very well get a lot of fans boycotting.
Like Rudy and probably Pasha, he's pretty arrogant.
1 win in 10 at home, 3 points off the drop, sat 20th in the league, genuinely not sure how he has the stones to have such arrogance that he can't be challenged.
Will Ismael be doing his pre-game press conferences today?
Could get interesting with the external ones, BBC Lancashire must ask him about the fan dissent.
