Pitch like a mudbath? FFS, it's rained non-stop for days, what more does he expect!!
Anyhow, onto the game, and an excellent all round performace. Get what the OP says about poor opposition but we have played worse teams this season than TN and lost so you've got to beat what's in front of you and we sure did that.
Overall, I thought this was our best performance of the season using a 3-4-1-2 formation with Tidy (great game again, just for you PP), Wheats and Leon at the back, Charlo on the left, Gilly on the right, Yaley and Tom in the centre with Keo playing just behind DO and Bimbo. The first half was actually quite even though Marske played some great football, TN prob had best two chances and Scott made a couple of great saves. We took the lead just before half time when great play on the right from from Yale and McGill played in Marron whose cross was deflected in by Lumsdon. The goal just before half time was just what we needed and the second half performance was one of complete dominance where Ted used his subs superbly and all three (Anth, Bruno and Jordan contributed to the win). As ParsJake says, the second goal was a stunner from 20 yards from Bruno with his RIGHT foot following great play from Charlo and Tom. The third was a pen from Jordan, won himself having been brought down by the keeper and the fourth was an excellent side foot finish from Leon from a corner past the gob-sh*te number 2 on the line who had done nothing but whinge all game.
Match sponsor was Stewart Pippen who narrowed the MOM between DO and Tom and chose Tom which was an excellent choice. For me, every single player contributed to the win from Scott's two great saves in the first half to all three centre backs who were all excellent (Wheats made a magnificent block with the score at 1-0). Charlo had his best game of the season and Gilly excelled, yet again. In centre midfield, Keo, Yales and Tom were all excellent and DO never stopped running all night. Also, all 3 subs contributed - as well as the goals from Bruno and Jordan, Anth picked up so many second balls in midfield.
All in all, an excellent performance - well done to Ted, Bos and the boys and roll on Saturday.
