Agree. I really think the key to our success will be effective counter attack: Kinghorn, VdM, Graham and Hoyland are very strong counter attacking weapons. Any loose kick, tired chase or turnover in midfield and we shohkd be causing trouble.

what makes that pass even more remarkable, as can be seen from that excellent photo, is that Mata has had all his fingers on the passing hand chopped off at the first joint.


Thanks, I have a few more from the game and if anyone wants to view then PM me and I will send a link. Cheers

Don't suppose you do gifs too. Would like to see Matt's break and non try again as it's not on the highlights I've seen. At the game I thought that there was a high tackle involved, but TMO/referee didn't concur.

No worries, maybe there the BBC highlights will cover it.

I just had a look at my recording and the tackle is ok, Huw Jones grabs at Scott’s shoulders from immediately behind and is then bumped off (not bumped off like in the films) by Tagive coming in from the side to make his own tackle. Jones has a slight hold of Scott’s shirt on the shoulder but there’s nothing in it, imo

Jacko did absolutely brilliantly to prevent Matt scoring at the base of the post
