If only Murphy could find some enthusiam for football thought Whyte played a blinder and Bacuna was rock steady Things are shaping up But where are the goals going to come from??
I watched the game with no sound, took away a lot of the experience not hearing the crowd. A much better game from us as we didn't rely on hoofball too often. Whyte had a blinder and Bacuna seems to be growing in confidence and had a good game. Paterson was effective but is he good enough for a starting position when everyone is fit? Murphy needs to stand up a bit more, I feel he goes to ground way too easily. Fewer wayward passes, or so it seemed, from us. Some good counter-attacking from both sides. A workmanlike performance and a hard earned 3 points.
Dont know if hes one of those lugubrious sort of players. Never smiles, never gets excited. In parts he seems to come alive though. Did well in the first couple minutes to win the corner. Played in bennet on the overlap (didnt se colin shouting at him to get back) for another chance. Think you used the right word though dan. Needs to show some enthusiasm.
Read Warnock's comments guys. Murphy was unwell, same sort of bug as Glatzel, and probably should not have started. However he did and won and took the corner from which we scored. He also put in a couple of other good runs and low crosses where we should have done better. After about 35 minutes he put in a run. The ball broke back to us in midfield and we were looking to pass out to him. He indicated he didn't want it so we went right instead. I said to those around me he is either smoking 20 Woodbines a day or he's not well. He got hooked at half time and Warnock later said he was not well. Whyte, yes an excellent game. Getting better every game.
