I was expecting an almighty tussle and was suprised how well we handled the 1st half, scoring an excellent goal but failing to add another when well on top in true Town fashion.
2nd half they equalised before we had taken our seats, then we went into a spell of 20 mins chaos where we looked rudderless, tried our damnest to give them a goal, but rode that period to get back into it 75 mins onwards.
We all assummed from our view in the moaning section it was Bunny's strike, similar stature never Hoggy it just doesnt happen, nor does he find himself inside the box but I'll take it all day long and might even provide him the confidence to have a pop more often.
Big shout out for Ward in goal, unsure if he could have got to the throw that lead to their equaliser but a made a couple of excellent saves that kept us in it. Smith & Lowe were excellent first half, when Palmer came on he looked bright, VLP didnt do much till late on then looked a world beater, not one to back track nor make a tackle, jury still out on his true worth n value. Kachunga took up the wide roll when Scanz limped off and was allover.
DW subs were puzzling, Mooy quiet but is technically our best player, Wells was excellent all game is 10% better than last season already I hope he stays cos on this form he is worth 6-8 million in the current market and time is running out to replace him.
Incredible feeling to be top tonight, dont want this to work against us in that we all think everything is hunky dory, we were lucky 2nd half not to have given them a lead we might not have recovered from but credit for our fitness level and hard work to claw our way back into it and find a winner then see out 5mins of injury time.
Great drive up Wakey Rd to J 38 passing loads of pit ponies trooping home with their bottom lips out, not quite as loud as during the game, but I expect them to do well this season.
