Sounds like a positive start, Alioski cross headed just wide by Bamford

Very good opening few minutes.

First good attack dies with Bamford and the Alio cross was way to difficult for Bamford to get on target. Great cross though

Beautiful play ends with Rodrigo's shot blocked. I was celebrating a goal in anticipation there.

If we keep getting in players of Rodders's relative quality across the park we'll be in Europe in the next couple of seasons.
