Russell Martin lauded Matty Sorinola's performance against Blackpool after admitting he had been "unforgiving" with the Swansea City loanee.
Sorinola was a regular in the team earlier on in the season after joining on loan from Belgian outfit Union SG but has found game time increasingly difficult to come by, particularly since the World Cup break.
The 21-year-old was handed his first league start in just shy of two months against Blackpool on Wednesday night as Martin deployed wing-backs, having stuck to a back four of late.
