Morning all,
Punching above your weight was how I viewed your boys before last night. Don’t get me wrong, that’s my view of us too, we’re both doing better than our wildest dreams might have predicted. But I hadn’t seen any of your football prior to last night.
I thought you were a good side. On paper what might read a journeyman front two looked dangerous and well drilled. The marauding centre half - I really liked him, and the gingery blonde lad caused us all sorts of issues... boy was I glad when Wilder made the inexplicable decision to substitute him on about 75 mins.
The game as a spectacle (from your perspective) was ruined by the red card - which lets face it is a red all day long. Sounds like you lost your best midfielder to a horror challenge a couple of weeks back, so a little disappointed to hear the boos from the crowd when Korey was substituted, clearly incapable of walking off himself, we can only hope that it’s a few weeks out and there’s no broken leg. We clearly made the numerical advantage count, although complete credit that it didn’t stop you from causing us all sorts of problems.
8 times out of ten you’d have beaten us playing like that so all due credit. I can certainly see why you don’t draw many games and all respect to Wilder for throwing the kitchen sink at us with his substitutions, it’s evident he’s a gamble or bust kinda guy - which isn’t the worst thing in the world when you compare the difference between 3 points and 1 point and 1 point and no points. Although Wilder does come across as a very bitter man - although given the nature of your defeat I suppose I’m inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to him.
I’ll watch your progress with interest. You’re a good team there and hopefully you’ll take some point off our rivals at the top. I imagine we’ll both be in the playoffs at the end of the season.
Well done, chin up and keep punching above your weight.
Oh, and for anyone still doubting the red...
