But apparently not serious.
Nice rotation this evening, apart from the back four where we have no fit alternatives.

Yes, fairly happy with that. UTAQuote:

Alan Smith would've been better. He kept his nerve.Quote:

Quite right too. He was a British centre forward, not a fanny dancer.Quote:

Well done, P. Top jinxingQuote:

I?m not sharing the commentators praise for Jesus tonight. Lacking the instinctive prowess of a number nine.Quote:

It's just good to have him out on the pitch again.Quote:

He had two headers, ignoring the rest, one of which was a world class save that Smudger said he couldn't have done more with. And if Smudger said it was perfect then that's good enough for me. The other went inches wide with the 'keeper beaten. Perhaps he over-compensated a touch after the first but who knows. If either had gone in, we'd be singing his praises.Quote:

Pep knew tbf. He?s had an extended stay on account of injury but if we harbour an interest in helping the balance sheet, we?ll get shot before he limps off the field again.Quote:
