Well have now seen Powell's goal from both the Main Stand sideline angle and the box on top of the Away Stand on Facebook, I think Jack's "shot" was aimed for his head - he, Nev and Rio all jumped for it (watching live my first thought was one of them had flicked it in) and may well have made the keeper lose its flight as it passed them.

Actually.....ONE!! The one that ended up in the net. The idea worked perfectly, goal scored and immediately Conor was moved back into defence. Next moan please??

I think it was Nevitt in front of the keeper for the goal.

As I said there were 3 of them, maybe Nev nearest the keeper as you say, and Conor in the middle. As Powell said “The lads have run across it and it’s one of them that sneaks in the back post, so I’m pleased with that.”

Anyway, history now. Just hope something is learnt.
