Read other posts with usual interest. What does surprise me there was very little in way of comments re the second half.. The three subs transformed the team. With Wintle at RM, Green at CM and Pickering at LM in my view the second half display was the best I have seen our team for at least a year. Wintle and Pickering were excellent and Green backed them up. We were a well balanced team attacking on both sides. The whole team was making a contribution. It was obvious our players were enjoying the was the game was flowing. No player was hiding, they all wanted to be a part of it. Sadly I believe that the second half midfield will not continue. I firmly believe it should.
Man of the match has to be based on the second half. Wintle possibly edged it, But there could have been an honest call for Pickering. Also if you pefereed a more attacking player it would be Kirk, With Dale not far behind. Shows exactly what a good team display it was.
