Really enjoyed today's game for a change. I'm almost glad we didn't score the great chances we had in the first half because we'd have had more time to mess it up. We did try our best to chuck it but having said that their goal looked like a clear foul on Lees followed by a bit of a whoopsy from Westwood, but hey ho, all's well that end well. I can only assume Pudil got man of the match because he kept Matt Ritchie quiet, unnless you can win it for taking long throws that lead to goals now!
Imre, I'm not sure why you're so down on the lads today, I thought they all put in a good shift and thoroughly deserved the win, if only for the first half performance on it's own. I know Reach is not everyone's cup of tea but I thought he did ok today and the main thing he does is add pace and energy to the side. Yes, he's not the best technically but he shows a good attitude and never stops running.
I thought Fletcher and Hooper gave their back line a pretty tough time in the first half, especially Hooper, and it's a shame Fletcher missed the 2 best chances we created, although he made up for it with a great header for the winner. Surprisingly, that's 9 for him this season, I believe, which is not bad going considering he's not been a regular starter. I'm not saying I didn't expect a bit more from him this season but I'm hoping he's coming good at just the right time.
What a legend Semedo is. He'd only been on the pitch 2 minute before he'd wound Ritchie up with his sneaky little tugs and barges. Ritchie was fuming with him and it was no surprise they hooked him not long after. I love Semi when he does stuff like that and does that thing where he draws fouls by just slowing down at the right time to cause players to run into him. It's much better than when he tries to pass it!
All in all a good day. And my telly has packed in just in time to stop me seeing United get promoted! I didn't want us to get in the playoffs because I don't think I can stand the strain but when I think about how much I hate derby games I hope we steamroller the next few weeks and take Wembley by storm so we can avoid playing the grunters.
