...other than the obvious.

1. I mentioned this elsewhere, but their number 18 making himself look a tit by appealing for offside from a throw-in in the build up to the first goal. While play was still going on, no less!

2. Chris Basham acting as auxiliary trainer, albeit at the slowest possible pace. Luckily, there was nothing in that bag that Sharp was in desperate need of!

3. Leon Clarke's reaction to the third goal. Now of course he was celebrating the goal, and it would be devious to suggest otherwise. But it seemed to me like he was specifically celebrating getting his own part right. His fist pump was that of a man who has just bowled a strike, or nailed a particularly tricky pub quiz question.

4. Dean Henderson's comical shithousery. It seems that Wilder may not have approved, so that may be the last we see of it, but it was entertaining. we had:
  • Him waiting an age to pick the ball up, before dropping on it like a marine throwing himself onto a grenade to save the rest of his squad.
  • Making a routine catch and somehow turning it into a spectacular skid
  • Plucking another one out of the air, then going falling over like a dying bad guy in a western.
5. At the Final Whistle, Henderson's inch perfect pass to the referee who was stood in the Centre Circle. It even merited a thumbs up from the ref.
 



When the whistle went for h/t I went for a leisurely stroll to utilise the latrines. Upon exiting these fine facilities I decided refreshments were in order and proceeded towards said facilities. I was rather impressed by the choice on offer and duly ordered a greasy chip butty (quite popular in these parts I was assured).
This fine delicacy was presented to me almost immediately, including condiments.
"Would you like a pint with that Sir?" asked the buxom young wench as she escorted me back to my seat.
"Yes please love" I replied
"Ok granddad, as long as you don't post when your pissed" .
 
About 20 minutes in when my kids finally stopped nagging me for snacks/drinks/tablets/additional clothing/toilet.
 
Listening to a completely indecipherable song coming from’a group 10 yards away. They were enjoying it though.

Did anyone else see Richard Stearman giving Deano the old “ Stop f** kin about” twice he shouted it . Nice to see Deano having fun but very professional of Stears to give him the not now reminder
