If only games last 94 minutes every week eh? Totally got away with that and on the balance of play Wimbledon probably deserve little more than a draw at best, but we showed what quality does when you take your eye off the ball.
Hard to gauge how good Georgiou is given the absolute shower out there ahead of him ,but Kenlock came out for the 2nd half and played like he fancies him. Really good work between those two probably wore them down enough to make that victory possible. The Spurs lad was unlucky not to find Norwood more than once for a tap in.
Lambert arguably set us up wrong in the first half, but you can't argue with the result. Jackson deserves to be the hero tonight, I thought he was fouled by the keeper and would have got a penalty off a lot of refs. The ball from Skuse to put him in for the goal was a ten yard Koeman though.
Seeing Holy run the length of the pitch to celebrate was brilliant. We got a lot wrong in terms of shape and decisions all game, but it felt like Lambert went much simpler with his subs and it worked better than the keep ball of the first half Villa fans warned us about last season.
Feel for Donacien though, Holy totally sold him for that booking and was lucky not to concede from Skuse's backpass, but ultimately he's probably a CB in a back 3 at a club that doesn't play that way. Lots of new faces to work in and creases to iron out, but maybe we needed that scare collectively as we got away with it on Saturday too. |  |
