Good.
Glad we’ve got under his skin. Had it far too easily. Hardly any injuries for one.
For all the love in for them, the main difference is when they took 12 points from 6 games in October time and we took 3 because we’d got up to 13 players out in an unprecedented injury spell.
So personally whilst they’ve done well, I don’t cede to them.
I look forward to JLT wanging the ball in like a fucking medieval catapult every time the ball goes out of play in their half. I look forward to McBurnie, Ahmedhodzic and Egan shithousing and roughing up the keeper and making him feel uncomfortable. Yes, they will feel irked getting spanked by 5 but in truth, they were lucky it wasn’t 7 or 8. Only good fortune in the first throw missing everyone stopped that being a goal, then Harewood-Bellis sticking a leg out to prevent a further goal kept the score from being truly embarrassing.
So yes, he can fixate on his own little redemption arc as much as he likes but, despite others not following our lead, we proved that when push comes to shove, their dainty defence doesn’t like it up ‘em.
I think with Baldock and Bogle in there, we’ll have pace for the counter attack as well, which was lacking last time around.
Go on Hecky give him more of the same!
