It was not a game for the football purists last night,but enjoyable!!.
When was the last time you saw a game were both teams more or less lined up 4-2-4 !!.
Players all over the park had a man,therefore you were forced into going long(both teams),which in turn created loads of goal mouth action.
Full credit to port vale who pinned us back in the second half,and with a little more composure may have done better.
Great watching a young inexperienced team giving it there all against a decent team.
Besides Bav,whos shot stopping was first class,two outstanding performances were Murphy(who kept touch tight against a good player)
and Hatfield,whos energy was unbelieveable.
I bet theres a few players who fell out of bed this morning,after the effort they have put in,2 games in 4 days at the start of the season is always tough.
PS,Big decision to take Toto off,but Eckersley fitted in perfectly and his time will surely come
PPS - Can we return to 4-2-3-1,dont think my blood pressure can take much more!!!
