Also just back and enjoying a celebratory drink with SWMBO.
Accepting the fickleness of us fans, it is nevertheless great to be in and amongst the crowd today. Smashing to hear the chant… “You’ve been mauled by the Albion, mauled by the Albion” and “Brucey, Brucey give us a wave”
Whilst substitutions were necessary, strange to put Philips initially replacing Furlong … cost us their first goal. The late introduction of TGH (and according crowd appreciation) did little to enhance the latter’s push for a place, albeit I hope he gets a chance in the cup match.
(I guess the script did indeed include a Livermore, Philips & Reach appearance though !)
Grady and Yoku excelled, O’Shea and AJ again substantiated their selection, despite some late lack of concentration! 8 out of 10 for the remainder.
Bad positional error by Button for one of their goals, but to his credit, he kept us in the game at 0-0 with a fingertip save.
The second time this season leaving the ground with positivity all around. Long may it continue
