Lenihan....

Our best player on the night.
Was great but chuba for me always wanted the ball and took it plenty to take the pressure off us….
Paddy and smith we’re good also as was Hackney I thought and other than his soft way of conceding the goalie literally saved us…

Hackney was poor tonight I thought. He maybe needs a rest.
 
Tommy Smith, Lenihan and Chuba were the three that stood out to me.

Hackney definitely had an off night. I'll take the blame for that.

My 10 year old son plays midfield and he often hangs on to the ball too long and loses it and he dives in with slide tackles a little too often. I said before the game to him, "I want you to watch Hackney tonight and count
a) how many times he takes more than 3 touches
b) how many times he loses the ball
c) how many times he slides to win the ball"

He kept losing it all game 🤦‍♂️
 
Smith put in some good tackles. Campbell is a tricky unpredictable customer
And he 'just' needed to get through this one game (Game number 37 and cut off game) because he was a booking away from a 2 game ban he was brilliant when you also add that context....of pressure riding on not getting booked against a tough opponent with refs as they are these days....he was terrific.
