Strange game overall, Kewell obviously looked at the height of the SilkMen and decided to play Bris in midfield just in front of Hulk and Ward, but as the game wore on he realised that the oppo were useless (basically a glorified basketball team) and Brisley had just received a yellow after his third dreadful challenge....on came Husin which meant we could push Hemmings alongside the tiring Stead (this guy needs a drug test, whatever they discover, I need some!)....Thomas came on for the excellent Aless and tried the cheekiest lob ever over the keeper from a yard outside the box.
The Hulk and Ward were faultless at the back, Fitz made a blinding finger-tip save on 94 minutes (my heart was in my mouth as their striker blasted the ball goal-wards from 6 yards out).....Evita played his normal cool game at left back and Toots is gradually getting back to last season's form on the other side.
Overall a gutsy away performance against the worst team I've seen for ages, cleverly master-minded by Kewell who decided to "go for it" after 75 minutes....my MOM is a toss-up between Stead and Enzio up front, or Fitz and the Hulk at the back....I'm feeling generous, all 4 can share it....onwards and upwards, only 8 points off the play-offs?.....COYP
