Tony Mowbray has praised Jenson Seelt for slotting in so seamlessly at the back, and showing great quality on the ball to evade Birmingham's high press.
COMPETITION AT THE BACK
"I thought Jenson was good. In our minds, we've been wanting to get him on the pitch but it's difficult [with Ballard and O'Nien's form]."
GREAT ON THE BALL
"Really, he was going to come on and play.. he can play holding midfield and we thought he would come on and roll into midfield like we do with Trai Hume often. Jenson can do that because he's so talented with the ball at his feet. Today he stood up to the test, you could see at times that it was a bit quick when they really jumped on us and pressed, there were times when it was a fraction of a second away from us being caught on the ball."
PLEASED FOR THEM BOTH
"Generally, he was good. Young players who haven't played at the level, you expect it [some challenges]. They have to get up to speed and I'm so pleased for both Jenson and Nectar that they helped us get to the win and both looked fine generally. I asked the team to get right on the front foot so that the defenders didn't have to do too much, but we got a bit sloppy on the ball at times and so the defenders had to do their jobs. Generally, they did that."
