In the first, we were everything I want us to be. Exciting to watch, creative, players running with the ball, keeping the ball on the deck, players finding passes, good movement off the ball. Just missed that finishing touch.
In the second, we were everything I don't want us to be. Panicky, defensive, treating the ball like a hot potato, making silly errors, dropping deep and giving the ball away cheaply. Luckily their finishing is as bad as ours. What on earth was their striker doing heading the ball straight at Maxwell? I could've stuck that away.
We showed glimpses in the first half of a really good side, and the worry is that the three players that make us look like that are not ours (Ronan, D-H, and Moore). It just shows the quality, and the money required to finish right towards the top in this division. I'd love us to sign a couple of them.
I would've given D-H the MOTM personally, but Moore was good too. He's the first defender in ages that has the ability to bring the ball out of defence and you're confident he's not going to have a poor touch and lose the ball when he's halfway up the pitch and horribly out of position.
Finally, I have to admit with the news that Karl Robinson has been approached it looks like any notion of us not being ambitious with our next manager is put to bed. He'd be an excellent appointment. No, we may not get him but I'm liking the fact that we've identified the right person regardless of if they're at at rival. We've had it done to us, and what a statement it would be to any potential signing this summer - that we mean business.
Exciting times! UTMP!
