As well as we did play and as well as we had control for long periods, the season old issue of not hitting the net is likely to come back and haunt us come full time on Wednesday evening. It was great to see Mooy, Kachunga and Hoggy right on it, even VLP put in a decent shift but without finding a goal or two we're going to have to be once again right up for it and at it if not even better for leg 2.
Clearly that was Wendys ploy not to concede and they will the more pleased of the 2 teams, the atmosphere was excellent, I'm sure our 2000 will give it a good effort too to help the lads along too. If we can play with that control early doors and make them open up in search of a goal, no sloppy defending & all that, we might just get some joy out wide to get behind them.
We avoided a late sting in the tail, expected Rhodes to come on, collect his £40k wages and find a later winner to put them in the box seat.
Will have a sky re-run a bit later this evening but without the highlights felt we did really well, proud of the showing and effort.
