Posted last night but SCO while formatting it deleted it by mistake.
Thought Jackos summary was a good and succinct one.
Brentford started a little stronger but once they went down to10 there was only one team in it. In spite of a few wayward passes we always looked in complete control. What a difference in skill and technique compared to the last game I saw at S6 where Watford clobbered us and we had the likes of on loan Hope on the wing looking completely clueless.
For me having Bannan is imense. It's like there's three of him on the field since he' s always near the play and looking for the ball and he knows exactly what he's going to do with it next before he gets it. God knows how we managed to get him on a free and he should definitely be playing for Scotland it he summer.
Nuhui is a strange thing - he's never going to score loads of goals yet his presence distracts the opposites enough to let the others score and he has occasional brilliances of link up play. Some sat around me said his 30 mins against Birmingham was the best while at the club.
I thought FF lost the ball quite a lot yesterday but the good thing is that he always chases back and helps recover it so we can start over.
Everyone was glad Joao got on the score sheet since he has been lacking confidence and if he has it back for the run in its yet another threat we have.
Mc Geady is potentially another Hooper - not yet match fit or fully familiar with CC's plans but may well rip a few defences a new one towards the end of the season.
I met up with MS and his son during lunch and then had a much longer chat after the game while waiting for the crowds and traffic to clear. We both got to see Hoopers box which happens to be next door to Westwoods box and we had a picture taken in front of them which may appear on here at some point.
Hirsty and madden we're circulating and I got my picture with Hirsty and had him sign my program.
At this point I can't see us not making the playoffs and i think we are still in with an outside chance of auto if we manage to beat Hull and Brighton along the way.
I can't compete with the thoroughness of the MS reports so will leave that to him for a bit later.
All in all a fantastic day out and even my mother in law enjoyed her first football game ( but I don't think she would have liked the traditional pre match boozer and fish and chips on the corner version quite as much)
Onwards and upwards and what a great time to be an Owls supporter. Well done DC and CC !!!!
