Thanks Clive for putting together an impressive preview after a very busy weekend for you.
I think we will miss the defensive workrate of Smyth & Saito today. If we start with Dembele, Yang & Madsen (and/or Andersen) we could be very open. Hope I'm wrong, but suspect Morrison's impressive starting stats could finally take a knock with a 2-1 defeat.
So many keepers commit and make it easy for this type of penalty taker. If more acted like Pope, far more would be saved and this style would probably fade away.
I've gone for Smyth at Bristol City. Not just for the distance but the composure he showed. It would have been easy to go down to try to get the keeper sent off (which judging by similar scenarios would have given no advantage to us) but for once he stayed on his feet and finished well.
I worked on the Tote at White City Stadium during 1978-79 for the greyhound racing and Stan was a regular visitor. Will always remember he turned up one night 10 minutes before the last race at 10pm following an away game at Maine Rd. I figure he must have run straight from the coach drop-off to get there in time for the last race and it was worthwhile as he ended up winning £100+.
I'm sure the long streaks without a win in our recent history are a mentality issue. However it should be possible to conquer this as Rory demonstrated so well last night, with many crediting his sports psychologist Bob Rotella for improving his mental strength.
Who was the guy we used back in the 2010's, sadly since passed away I think, whose mantra was 'Find a way'?
Did anyone have a good view of the potential offside for their goal? I thought Earthy timed his run well but was not directly in line. Looked more offside from the TV highlights last night.
