Excellent battling performance—we never backed down, which is excellent to see. We have some players! :-)
Tuanzebe was our MoM, I thought—far and away the best I've seen him play. Greaves really good again, and O'Shea solid. Phillips looks like he's going to be a stud for us. And Clarke was useful when he came on, and gave us an outlet that Szmodics hadn't managed.
Muric much better (although he always has his moments)—the double save was fun but he did push the first shot straight where he shouldn't, so he's not getting top marks from me ;-)
Hirst back so soon! It makes you wonder what all the fuss about a striker in late August was about. Especially Broja, given he won't be back for weeks.
And I thought Woolfenden had started the season well. But in McK we trust :-)
"He blows hit and cold tbh. Was great at the start of last season - then was injured and not so good anymore.
"Problem might be he’s playing as a RWB when he’s more of an attacking inside right or even inside left…
"If we were wealthy you’d keep him as cover/sub. If a PL offers him a role and us a fair value we would obvs let him go without too much fuss, I imagine."
Call me a coward or something, but am I the only one terrified by all this spending? We're going to have to sell an awful lot of pink shirts to make this work.
I know it feels like a long time ago, but I don't think Phil's report just justice to our second goal—that was properly beautiful: great ball by Clarke, perfect cross by Wes, majestically calm finish by Kieffer. Lovely stuff.
But what to say about that second half? Yikes. We were laughing at HT at 3–1, looking like we’re going to score on every attack. And then decided to stop playing in the second half. Abysmal. Blew the lead (although the penalty for the equalizer was a bit of a joke) and deserved nothing. And then got a goal out of nowhere to win it. Three points. Bloody Hell. And Southampton lost.
Phil: another for your ex-player list: Kieffer Moore had a loan spell at Rotherham in 2017 that basically kick-started his career. I bet he'll be desperate to start this one :-)
I don't mean to be a party pooper, but 145th Anniversary?? Oy. Let's wait for the 150th at least. Or is this now an annual holiday? [Eye roll emoji...]
"England's Men's Elite League Squad"? Catchy. That must have been one heck of a committee meeting coming up with that name. Cannot say I can understand the point of the change.
A cup tie against Wolves makes me think of this match from 1976/77:
I would have been ten when it was played, and I think I only remember it because of the Paul Cooper fumble on the line—I think it was my first lesson in supporting your team no matter what! The ball was clearly over the line, but he got away with it. (Didn't matter—we lost the replay.)
