Solihull highlights.

https://youtu.be/DqGLMNBQQ1I

Goal looked like tippy-tappy done right - 11 passes before the cross?

The backheel though (and I had Scott down as first scorer in the prediction league too)... and bloody hell that last ditch clearance.

Some good looking play in those clips. Don’t think Scott’s back heel was as bad as sounded on the radio…the goalkeeper was right on him so would have been difficult to go round the keeper and any shot would have been blocked.

Ruben could’ve played Scott in in the second half as well but passed it the other way…ahh well.

Don’t think it was a penalty, but it was borderline, and a pretty pointless attempt by Baldwin.

How on earth that was only 1-0 is beyond me.

I would never had passed in that position and it still just seems an odd thing for a striker to do !

I agree, the back heel wasn’t a bad decision. He was on his wrong foot and the keeper had covered his angle.
Glad they showed the goal came from the play out from Slocombe. He was getting hammered by the ‘gerrit gone’ brigade around me in the Kop. We also had two other attacks off the back of it…before he sliced one out for a throw.

I am definitely not of the gerrit forward lot, but the heart in mouth moments when Slocombe passed off to a cb and waiting for the press and then back to Slocombe again…Automatically see the worst happening!

Yet our goal started that way. I genuinely think it’s a decent way to play and creates space when done properly. I’m not convinced Slocombe is comfortable doing it.

The back heel so nearly came off to be fair. He was heading away from goal, on his wrong foot with the goal covered, had it worked out, he'd have been lauded as a genius

Something that really shines out in those highlights is how comfortable Bajrami is with the ball. Couple of one-touch passes during the build-up to the goal that helps maintain the momentum, and a fantastic pass to Scott for that one-on-one chance. Not bad for a defensive midfielder!
