Keeper would have caught it anyway, he was never going to get any power on it the way it bobbled back up

As I remember, Randall got ran out on his debut at Trent Bridge by the great Sir Geoffrey Boycott :)
Gower was elegant as many left-handers are. Pity he is no more with SkySports now?

Much improved first half, but still only one goal in it. We really need a third early on to settle the nerves.

Please, not in the same breath OB :lol:

Piroe’s movement looking good, but another wide open miss. Wow!

Enjoyable game and bar the top strike by their wing back we've been comfortable and playing well

Lovely ball from Gnonto at the end added to a Firpo dummy which should have bought Piroe a goal but wide

If Solomon hadn’t had such a good half, Piroe would be my motm so far.

That was a bad bad miss from Piroe right at the end. Wastefulness getting the better of us again. We are looking too comfortable which is always a worry. Two good goals spoiled by poor Firpo position for their goal - showing the Villa loanee the inside channel was pure criminal. Gnonto not in the game yet for me.

I agree. Unlucky not to get that first shot clean on goal. Decent chance there.

Yeah, I loved watching Gower play. Yeah, shame he's not still with them.

David Lloyd's commentary was always very funny.
