Yes another outstanding first half full of energy. Hope they can keep this up. O'Reilly is something else. We'll be lucky to still have him after January (unless he's clogged in the meantime). We had March down as leading goalscorer but has had 3 assists already! His lay off for Agius was sublime. Credit also to Hutchinson for his goal which was quite difficult considering that the ball was coming at his right foot and he had to adjust his body to hit it so cleanly. It was great to see his celebration- he clearly didn't know what to do with himself!
Two more mentions, another creditable performance by Connolly. My lack of confidence in him seems misplaced. Also Connor Thomas who seems to be benefiting from the rotating midfielder role.
All round a good team performance again. Just a slight worry that they couldn't play the wind in the second half.
Another crap ref who bottled a moment. The 2 footed lunge on Booth after the ball had gone warranted a straight red. The same player committed a deliberate trip 10 minutes later but feigned injury to fool the ref into taking no action. However, the worst thing about the ref (and his assistants) was the blind eyes to the constant shirt tugging occuring just yards in front of their eyes.
