Great battling display, you know that we are on it when you see Daniel Powell successfully slide tackling an opposition player on the edge of our box in the last five minutes of a game.
Excellently taken goals from Super Sammy, a lot of emotional support to him from the players and a great sense of emotion and relief from the travelling support. We were/are all willing him to do well for us and put the final touches to his tremendous work rate and that was reflected in the stand. He gave their two CBs the runaround all game, they must have been glad to see the back of him in the 79th.
Good performances all round in what was a surprising selection and line-up; in addition to Sammy, special mentions to Bridge who was integral and involved in most of our play, Cornell for a couple of decent saves to keep us in it (although his kicking was unusually off in the difficult and swirling conditions), Turnbull, Goode and Joe Powell were all not far off in the performance stake.
JJOT when he came on for the last half hour performed well and made us look more solid, just hope that it's not long before he is fit enough to both start and complete 90 minutes if that is what he is back to.
Enjoyable evening, hopefully Saturday brings more of the same...
