Rob Hutchison is as happy as the rest of us but also realistic: “Never have we played so poorly and won 3-0. Took our chances mind you. Now who’s for the Magnificent Seven?
Pants 7 reassured
Yedlin 6 steady
O’Shea 6 unfortunate
Kaboul 7 composed
Jones 6 crucial
Toivers 5 weary
Catts 7 gingerslayer
M’Vila 7 Influential
Johnson 7 talismanic
Lens 5 laboured
Fletcher 7 grafted
Subs:
Seb 5 brief
Defoe 6 busy
Coates 6 strong
Referee Madley – 10 homer.
In some ways a mirror image of the West Ham game. We laboured for 45 minutes then scored in stoppage time and took control against ten men. The only difference is the Mags weren’t 2-0 up at the time.
I would have been happy going in 0-0 at the break and still didn’t relax until Norman Stanley scored but sometimes you have to forget about realism and just enjoy the moment!
