Along with all the joy from yesterday's win and many OTT comments on our performance, it was ok but please ,that was it . one very obvious negative was the performance of Henderson. His distribution awful nearly gifted Wigan two goals from it . He flapped at crosses was as much to blame as wiggins for their goal it was a relief when Pope came on. During his cameo he looked calm and assured surely he's the better of the two
Totally agree about the keepers Mike. If Hendo is better than Pope then my name is Gordon Briwn. As for the OTT gushing - spot on, too. Its as of certain people are trying to ingratiate themselves with the rich Belgian in the hope of getting free tickets. #Reams
Apart from the goals, my favourite moment was when Pope flattened 2 Wigan players who got in his way when he came out for the ball. Upper North had a song for him as soon as he came on, which I liked too.
Absolute class keeping that by the young pontiff -taking two out like that, one with each knee. Definitely my favourite moment of the game although you could see that Rosie Rosler was claiming a foul.
Game could of gone either way both gave the ball away regularly it had a preseason friendly feel about it for much of the game. The football we play is the same as we've played for years bit of passing bit of Hoofball .. We won so I'm happy . Those who think we played some kind of Arsenal passing game must of been brainwashed. Nicky pope pope pope Olay Olay Olay Olay nicky pope pope pope
From the first two matches Henderson has been outstanding. I'm hoping that today was just a blip, or was carrying an injury beforehand, which then ultimately led to the change.
I don't think it was a injury but perhaps a Big Mac I'm sure Roberts will get that extra timber off him as August passes
