Didn't cheer when the penalty was scored but it did make me smile!!!!

To be serious for a moment (yes, I was winding y'all up earlier on!) isn't that the point: they are NOT us. They are a Pub Lg club. Had we been in their position and come away with a draw (which they nearly did) we would have said job well done as the revenues from a home game against MU would have flowed.

Palmer 7 - Supported well down the right and is getting stronger with every appearance.  
Loovens 5 - A bit of a calamity again.  I'm pretty certain he's playing with an injury as he was in constant contact with the management team and appeared to be limping.   Way off the pace and awful on the ball.
Sasso 8 - Quality again.  Has impressed in every game I've seen.  Make it permanent please DC.
Pudil 6 - Did nothing wrong but didn't attach with any purpose.  

Wallace 6 - Flitted in and out of the game
Lee 7 - Excellent in possession driving us forward but why won't he SHOOT!
Lopez 4 - Rubbish, outmuscled.  Not convinced by him at all
Bannan 9 - Man of the match by a mile.  Wonder strike, even more effective when played centrally in the second half.  

Sogou 6 - Three outstanding crosses into the box.  Joao was nowhere to be seen.  
Joao 4 - Very poor.  Consistently gave the ball away, stopped chasing and his head dropped.  Nowhere near the finished article and it clear to see why he doesn't play every week.  CC was furious with him for 75% of the game.

Helan was excellent off the bench, as was Nuhiu.  They can both be excellent impact players in their own right.  Nuhiu won every header and scared them to death.  Their CB's had handled Joao and Sougou with ease before he came on.  Helan terrorised them with his pace and pushed them back as a team, making it easier for us to defend.  

Semedo was solid enough.
