Sorry if this has already been posted but I cant find one....
What an amazing weekend, got a new job and then an amazing game of football. I honestly couldn’t see us getting anything from this game after watching the Man City v Newcastle game, I hoped we could keep it tight and maybe dream of getting a point.
Malky hasn’t always got it right for us but more often than not he pulls it out the bag and he got everything spot on, kept it tight, let them have it in certain areas and had bodies in the middle . We fully deserved the result and Campbell was very unlucky not to get a hattrick.
Thought the ground looked excellent as well, big screens and electric advert boarding looks a lot classier. Overall a brilliant weekend and celebration Saturday night.
Marshall 7 – didn’t have a huge amount to do and couldn’t stop either goal.
Connally 8 – Not a fan but he did a decent job defensively. Still looks going forward but had a good game.
Turner 8 – Thought he was top draw, won a lot in the air and didn’t lump it as much as usual.
Caulker 8 – classy player, excellent on the ball
Taylor 8 – kept it tight, happy to see him back.
Bellers 7 – Worked very hard, not enough going forward.
Gunnar 8 – thought he was top draw, didn’t give Man City a moments rest
Medel 8 – Ran around like a mad man in a lose defensive role, bit careless with some passes.
Kim 7 – Moments of brilliance especially for the first goal, general play a little sloppy.
WItts 7 – Worked very hard, covered back and used the ball well.
Campbell 9 – even without the goals I thought he was excellent, held the ball up and caused many a problem, did better in the lone role than I expected.
Also thought the ref was top class, let the game flow.
