What can i say, that was a performance of grit and assurance, from the first whistle to the last we never gave them a chance to settle down, we played with pride and determination.
I thought Stubbs was magnificent today, his experience shone through, AJ ran himself to the ground for the cause and was rewarded for his work rate with a brilliantly taken goal through a packed penalty area, Howard caught everything that came his way and was as safe as houses, Fernandes showed why we should pull out all the stops to make his loan spell a permanent one, Carsley deserved a goal for his attitude and commitment, unlucky with that shot against the post, a great strike, Vaughan is learning all the time and showed enough to give us all hope that our future looks promising as far as strikers go.
The longer the game went on you just felt that we were going to score, when the hail came down our resolve and self belief went up even further, it was nothing more than we deserved, we matched them across the park and played some great football to boot, a special mention for the defence, they were as one, outstanding, they stood up to be counted and were not found wanting, i am one proud blue tonight.
