Didnt watch the game last night as I had a work function. I watched the replay this morning and a few things stood out to me:
- A very workman like performance, EVERY single player did their job whether it was score a bag of goals, play a cameo, lay tackles, run 15.6km. Whilst the scalp was huge, it was we didn't try and be too cute, just a solid performance from every line.
- We had a plan and stuck to it to a tee. Peter's boys had the right amount of attention from multiple players, Cripps kept De Goey quiet for the most part, Sidebottom was NOT permitted to run around like a leper all night and finally pressure pressure pressure. It's amazing how when you apply pressure, normally brialliant balls users suddenly have less time. Mr Ice in His Veins was even too scared to take a shot in the last, that's what scoreboard pressure does.
Hard luck for Cez, was BOG up until he went off, hopefully not too serious a hammy. Special mention to Ollie Hollands, what a player he will be for us.
Great win, 6 in a row, who woulda thunk it? Certainly not me.
Go Blues
