Absolutely superb performance. Some thoughts:
- Agyei can play as a winger it seems
. That cross was a beauty and great positioning from Sam Winnall, who also got properly involved today.
- Excellent from our full backs today. The team looks so much better with Long and Ruffels playing. Moore and Atkinson looked happier as a result. Pleased for Moore to score that goal and took it well. That header by Josh Ruffels for the 1st goal was perfection.
- The classy James Henry is back. Some of his crosses and passes were just superb.
- Mark Sykes of the 2nd half and to a lesser extent the 1st half, I want to see more of. His ball control is always generally pretty good but his end product needs to be more consistent. Chances like the 1st half one needs to be taken more often, but some of his runs in the 2nd half and little interchanges were just excellent and show what he can do.
- JS looked solid in what he had to do especially reacting to the deflected shot in the 2nd. Especially considering he didn't have a lot to actually do.
- Shodipo looks totally out of form. I reckon his shot at the end may have passed the International Space Station. I like that he kept trying though even when he was struggling to get involved and liked his closing down.
- Lee had some really good spells but also at times in the first 20 minutes slowed play down too much on the right when it really needed to be sped up. I wonder if occasionally him and Barker should switch wings in the game as Lee in the past has been effective on the left and cutting in. I would happily see us sign him permanently.
- Still not sure how Rob Atkinson getting rugby tackled in the penalty area wasn't a penalty. Also could have been a red card as it was a goal scoring opportunity with their player making no effort at going for the ball. Fortunately didn't matter.
- I think Beckles will be having nightmares about that game tonight.
- Artell is still an a**e.
Edit: Remiss of me not to mention Barker who was excellent. A very exciting player to watch when playing like that. I loved that he won the ball back for his goal and the strike was sweet as, beautifully going through Beckles legs.
