Just got back in - haven’t read any of the previous comments yet so apologies if I’m repeating what’s been said already!
Overall, the boys deserved the win, particularly based on the first 45 minutes. However, we were second-best for long periods in the second-half and a better side than Preston would have made us pay.
The injury to Nordfeldt disrupted any thoughts that Potter may have had pre-match re his ‘planned’ substitutions, but I must admit that Mulder looked a better keeper - and I wonder if his cameo will lead to him being Number One!
Van der Hoorn, for me and my two mates, was Man of the Match, and he was ably supported by Rodon.
Olsson, overall, did ok - but that loose back pass could have (should have) been costly - luckily Mulder was alert to the risk.
Roberts also did ok, but had a tendency to give the ball away.
Fulton did a lot of the ‘unseen’ stuff pretty well, and scored with a neat header.
That said, if Woods is as good as his press, then he, Fer & Celina would be pretty good three some in our midfield.
Asoro, for me, flatters to deceive and gave another ‘curate’s egg’ performance - good in parts!
McKay was another decent performer, whilst Carroll was ok.
McBurnie will undoubtedly score goals at Championship level but he is far from the finished article. His penalty was weak/poor and he had a golden opportunity to wrap things up in the second-half but failed....
Anyway, 2 wins from the opening 2 games was just what the doctor ordered - and the guys in The Coopers were happy after the game!
(In fact, some were happy before the game with “near-dated” Guinness being sold for £1.50 pint
