A few observations which I know have been covered but sod it.
Husband was absolutely outstanding 1st half. He was left isolated down their right for pretty much the whole of the 1st half and he defended remarkably.
Richard Keogh. What. A. Block. He undoubtably denied them a goal with a last ditch block. I also think he may have got a little touch on the shot that hit the bar too. He is becoming a real cult hero is Uncle Dickie.
That save by Grimshaw was exceptional. Low down to his right when he was moving in the opposite direction.
Gabriel was like a man posessed. Particularly in the 2nd half. He was denied a certain goal at the back post by their defender cutting out Demi's pass.
Madine ran himself into the ground. He is a quality target man and is only getting better with the more minutes he gets under his belt.
A quiet day for Bowler where things just didn't quite come off for him. That's what you are going to get with Josh though. He can be inconsistent but on his day he's unplayable.
Keshi. Timed his run to perfection and scores an absolute worldie after I thought he might have blown the chance. Great composure.
Sonny Carey. Only a cameo role for him but he oozes class. I can see him going a long way in the game. Especially under the guidance of Critch over the next couple of years.
Critchley. What can I say. He rallied the troops. Came with a game plan to frustrate them and see out the initial pressure (60 mins or so). Then he makes the changes and a change to the system and the whole dynamic of the game changes. He looked to be pretty emotional at the end too after rejoicing with the pool faithful. What a top man he really is.
To sum it up. We witheld some pretty intense pressure for around an hour. We rode our luck at times and at other times defended admirably. We weathered the storm and played with heart and guts and got the result we dreamed of. Yes Sheff U could count themselves slightly unfortunate but we have had some bad luck ourselves over the course of the first 15 games. Swings and roundabouts.
So proud of this team and very excited of what they can achieve. Bring on Stoke. UTMP!
