Dawdler. Back home in Leicester bang on midnight. Over the bridge, M180, M18, M1. Had to slow down on the 'smart' bits.
It was a bit strange that we went through all that, just to pause for a minutes silence straight after, slightly defeated the purpose...
Re Connoly think he left the glue that he normally has on his boot laces in the dressing room. Early on he got himself in a great positon and if he had taken the ball like he has in the past he would have been clear on goal but the ball came down on his boot but it did not stick. And at that point I thought he was not himself and lo and behold he went on to miss 2 good chances. Grateful that he got his last chance.
It’s because that dipshit Musk changed the name from Twitter to X and now the system doesn’t recognise them, so they can’t be embedded. Hopefully it will be fixed.
Agree re Seri as you said he was running the show and was on top of his game, like you. dont know why he was taken off.
I thought when he was going forward he looked ok and sometimes pretty good but he abandoned his defensive duties too readily for my liking. Their right winger had a free run to the dead ball line most of the half.
I thought similar about taking Seri off at the time, but then his replacement got the all important assist, so I certainly ain't gonna be telling Rosenior he got it wrong. Subs and tweaks at half time were once again spot on for me.
The thing I noticed about Vinagre was that virtually every time the ball was passed to him he turned and passed it back, on a couple of rare occasions he passed it square but he seemed to stifle our forward momentum just about every time the ball came to him, it was really noticeable that he only uses his right foot for standing on. A bit early to judge but maybe HFFP was right about him.
He ran off a sharp knock early in the game - it looked quite painful for a while and he might have been subbed as a precaution.
The goal from different angles, wow, special goal. https://x.com/althurstonsport/status/1703011856133075131?s=20
Spot on - also, with much quicker forwards now available it's disappointing that we don't shift the ball into the space behind the defence when the opportunity arises. Lots of good attacking opportunities missed.
He(Connolly) has scored 4 goals thus far.I'm struggling to think of the 12-16 chances he's spurned in order to get them. I think we've got a very good asset in the lad and he looks as if he's loving the part he's playing? O.K,he scuffed one past the post last-night but he more than made up for it by grabbing our equaliser.
He'll score his fair share of direct ones, but he's only 50% of the equation if its a set piece delivery.
