Superb ball into the box & for some reason the defence stopped as 1 which allowed their player to ghost in & prod the ball home. Grant looks 10 times the player we saw last season & was desperately unlucky not to score. Barton was neat & tidy, can't remember him giving the ball away. Redmond looked good & JJ had their defence looking shaky along with Harris when they came on. We played some lovely football at times. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Good report
BH says Fondop, Thorn, Sargent and 1 more I think Manny did not travel - no reasons given.
If Grant looks that good then we might have a secret gem.
It would seem that we might be trying 532 and pushing the FBs forward.
That gives 3 forward thinking midfielders if Pearson, Lawlor, Barton are the 3.
Was Grant in the front 2 or midfield 3?
