Who wasn't?
Let's hand it to Harvey, maligned for perceived timidity under fire, today he led with fire in his belly and iron in his boots.
Big Dave's gonna give them all a crate of beer for outstanding shooting by Green and outstanding achievement in the field of excellence by everyone one of them, including the bus driver:
"Outstanding squad performance the whole team, the shape without the ball, outstanding. Look, just crack on."
Please, please, don't drink the water, eat the daisies or press the link to listen to Bonner Boy burbling on and on ad infinitum like a really annoying podcaster wannabee pundit:
"It's what we've done before, it was a perfect away performance, they play the way they do really well"
A well-drilled machine, oozing confidence and competence from every pore. Every single one of them knew what they were supposed to do and did it.
It all starts at the back. Smith. He's a man, a man with a Midas touch, he's a goalkeeper. He doesn't just play in goal. He has presence and his presence visibly bolstered the confidence our defence and deflated the opposition.
Town had resolve and the wit to solve problems as they arose. Town looked like a team.
Ah, Gillymen, so now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins.
Huffed and puffed and looked mighty adequate until they got within 25 yards of Mr Smith. They were rather easily turned into a nousless mouse and flummoxed by a firm foe who were prepared to match them fruity foul for fruity foul.
They looked like they believed the league table and were awoken rudely.
As strong as anyone, but as flawed as anyone if you look beyond the myth. Should be mean enough to get into the play-offs at least.
It's raining? We hadn't noticed.
Mr C Brook
Generally perfectly fine, but curiously one-sided in bookings, old Carl brooked no quarter for the cliché du jour: the dark arts. We're in the fourth division, it's called timewasting.
No fair-minded person could countenance any score lower, or higher, than 7.0111.
One way traffic in a cul-de-sac.
In a word: resolution
