MOTM Oxford United (H)

Very hard to name just 3 but....

Lumdstrum
Giles
McBurrnie

 

To be fair, you didn't find it too hard to name Giles ...

 

Lundstrum - excellent defensively and going forward. Great range of passing. Seri-esqe at the base of our midfield.

Gelhardt - great goal, workrate, and guile.

Palmer - the best I've seen from him.

Should have won more comfortably, but to be fair to Oxford they were decent and scored two good goals (we could have been better defensively but good goals non the less). Overall a good team performance. Lots still to work on, but optimistic.

 

As said before, could actually have all 11 starters in the top 3, and the subs played their part as well.
Best performance I've seen at home since .... can't honestly remember.

Lundstram
Ndala (helped by Giles having his best game in a City shirt)
Gelhardt (helped by Drameh having his best game in a City shirt)

 

McBurnie
Gelhardt
Palmer

A couple of thoughts. Firstly, just how good are McBurnie and Gelhardt? Secondly, I never thought a midfield of Lundstram, Palmer and Crooks would work but it did brilliantly.

Honourables for Giles, Palmer, Ndala, Lundstram, Crooks... To be fair the whole team played well and you could argue most of them could be given top 3 motm spots. No negatives from me at all. A couple of defensive slip ups, but we'll always have that from time to time. The difference now is what we're doing when we have the ball - our possession is much more meaningful and we're creating chances.

 

Now given 24 hours contemplation and the nice problem of too many choices,

So, one from the front, one from the middle and one from the back...
