Hadhergonads was throwing himself around a bit but Sessegnon was getting away with a lot of fouls on him too. Well, he's only a kid isn't he? A baby faced assassin like him couldn't possibly foul anyone could they? Other than that, I wouldn't quite put Gonads in the copy and paste VLP bracket though he could do with a cross on him like Lowe has developed rather than the one's our wingers normally put in. Mooy was far from wasted playing up the park, one of his best for a while however we had nobody really running at them down the centre with the ball. Phil Bill tried but we're missing Williams in that department. I know you can suposedly pass it quicker, but passing it round the same triangle while everyone stands still isn't brilliant football either.

We've now smacked the woodwork as often as those rich so and so's at the top of the division, we're still way off catching them up on putting it in the onion bag though. There was a big shout for handball in the second half - haven't seen that on any replays yet.

We could've, should've put this one to bed by half-time (yet again) but deary me, MBenza - first player to have a thru'penny bit foot from that far oute'd no need to shoot either. The defence wasn't catching him and the keeper was laying eggs. Go round him and tuck it away. Could have been another folk hero .... well maybe later. Decent turn of pace on him, needs to be more aware positionally though. Runs away from passing situations rather than into them.

At the end of the day, the first half was a damned fine display of gegenpressing and we thoroughly deserved the points. The second half was always going to be more of a scrap with them bringing on more players in midfield.

Big smile on my face all day today despite not getting home while nearly 1:00am (I know I should have gone down the M1) thanks to lane closures, a 15 minute delay on the M60 and the M6 being shut at Knutsford. 4 hours later I was up again getting ready for work. Might be an early night tonight. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
