Three excellent points gained by out-thinking if not necessarily out-playing the opponents. Promising. Select your top three, in order.
Pedro. Consistent good game again full of effort and intelligent passing Alzate. fantastic first half on the ball and won lots of tackles second half Jones. A really steady game at the back when we needed to win balls in the air Great win, finally a little bit of luck with the goal that we fully earned. Deservedly kept a shut out at the back through a team desire & effort. Loved the battling attitude, no longer the soft touch tackles we put in earlier in the season.
Alzate Jones McLoughlin. ... Magnificent three away points at the start of a big week. Its never easy at Millwall, no matter how bad we made them look, and a 12.30 ko on a January Saturday morning in South London is no picnic either. Never gave them a sniff, which is exactly how you get out of a relegation dog fight. Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but the same result, three valuable away points. Every player played a part, left a foot in, and fought for the shirt. The new lads looked good too. What's not to like? UTT.
Alzate Pedro McLoughlin Third place could have been one of a few, but I went with Macca as he was playing out of position.
Pedro Jones Burns We were not going to be bullied today from the off. If I could nominate Selles I would, as he got the tactics spot on.
Alzate Pedro Jones Kamara just misses out - thought he was excellent today. New signings all looked decent as well and Drameh despite a couple of minor wobbles held the position really well.
Alzate - Was class today Pedro - Was everywhere Slater - Never stopped A big 3 points today much needed
Alzate - every blade of grass, and with quality Pedro - the renaissance man Burns - did really well, very assured
