Congratulations RTID. A very good excuse. Full analysis later, but it was 3 points won. Our heads never dropped, and the team really kept going. The conditions were atrocious, so very pleased to come back from 2 nil down Glad we now have a BOS song...and he feels welcome, we need him to stay
Can we play them every week My stoke supporting mate will have to do the drive of shame for the second time this season as he delivers a dozen beers to my house
He was okay. I still think he stands off wide players way too much but Barbet's return gives us more mobile cover.
I thought Hugill had a huge game today. Seen people criticise his work rate before but he really put in a shift today. The early miss could have shattered his confidence but when the next chance came along he took it brilliantly. Tracking back and seen tackling on the edge of our box. Didnt look like a carefree loanee to me.
I don’t care what the Hugill doomsters say but our number 9 was immense today. As an old school Centre Forward his Ariel presence and hold up play was 10/10 bringing our attacking MF 3 into the game to be a real threat. His goal was beautifully taken - but I do admit some of his finishing is woeful.
Just back home. what a brilliant day despite the atrocious weather and very turbulent flights both ways. Only an hour delayed getting back so consider myself lucky as a lot of flights cancelled. Brilliant comeback win. i must say BOS had an absolutely outstanding second half. He walked rings around their full back. Eze was outstanding too and i thought Chair did really well when he came on. Where would this club be this season without those three players? Shout out to Ryan Manning after some dodgy performances. His pass for Hugill's goal was outstanding. To sum up my day, the weather was ****, the flights were ****, the Piccadilly line works were **** but the match was brilliant. An exhausted but happy R tonight.
Tx for good wishes all. Just back from 430 mile round trip. Thankfully Dennis not too severe in the middle of our Island. I went armed with her first Hoops babygrow so she could celebrate the win! Watched highlights. Fantastic. Bed.
Am I the only person here to give Cameron man of the match or was it just the spine of the team was excellent and allowed the rest to flourish
I admit that at 0-2 down, I thought it was all over. But the team showed great character and it was a great comeback to emphatically win 4-2! Well done the R’s!!!!
Thought both Cameron and Ball played very well back there, so did also Manning (at last, and at LB) he made many goal scoring chances, and so did BOS, Hugill and Eze. Hard to chose a MoM from those 6, but I'd go for Eze by a whisker or 2.
At the risk of sounding negative, I don’t think it’s a surprise we’ve looked better without the team carrying loanee children.
