What a lovely day it has been.
6-0 flattered a frankly awful Peterborough side, it's going to take Gary Johnson a while to get the returns he was hired to bring. Managed to call Barry Fry a fat oxf*rd on his was into the Stadium today which I'm very happy with.
On another day it could easily have been 10, Kebe could have had 4, Long should have scored a second instead producing the miss of the season out of any league, Sig was amazing, Tabb was everywhere, Howard had a solid and busy game, and the back four were simply rock-solid. As for McAnuff, well, looked like he couldn't be bothered at times on Tuesday night, but today he was amazing, really deserved his goal. One of the best things about todays game was seeing all the players come off the pitch with beaming smiles to a man,
My ratings:
Feds 6, didn't have huge amount to do, seeing as they only had 2 shots, both of which were off-target.
Griffin 8, great trickery and running for the cross in for the 6th, even though Long missed the initial chance. McDermott should pull all the strings he can to keep him.
Zurab 8, very solid, a couple of runs past the half-way line, seemed to have pulled something when he went off.
Pearce 8, uber solid as well, scored (though I wasn't looking when he did) to get the ball rolling, and if he can perform like this every game then Kish doesn't really need to stay.
Berty 8, wonderful overlapping with both McAnuff in the first and Kebe in the second half, such pace. Please please sign him up!
Kebe 8, on another day it would have been 9, should have scored when 1 on 1 with the keeper in the first half, scored a really good goal, plenty of running, headers and the scourge of both full-backs in either half. The second offside goal certainly wasn't offside, but there were chances in the second half where he could and should have scored.
Tabb 9, another quality performance, we now see why Coppell signed him, he is such a worker and will put in 100% every game! Bet he was disappointed to come off.
Gylfi 9, very unlucky to be booked for what looked like a stonewall penalty 5 mins before he easily scored from the spot. A fantastic ball from him to set McAnuff up for his goal. Scored a second when Long should have scored, another wonderful all-round performance.
Howard 9, see Tabb. Another Captain's performance, and I'm very happy to keep him in as captain.
McAnuff 10, my MOTM though I could have given it anyone of the midfield 5 to be honest, full of running, seemed really up for it today. Cut in and stayed out wide to really good effect today, and scored a peach of a goal from the top of the box.
Long 8, Scored a really good goal, showing great pace to get to the ball and slot it past Lewis, should have had two when he hit the bar, won lots and lots of headers against the defenders. If only he had been on the end of that Church chance against West Brom he'd have scored!
Subs:
Gunner 7, did all that was asked of him considering the way he went off on Tuesday night, solid also.
Karacan 8, what great energy and running this boy has, was everywhere when he came on.
Henry 5, I'm sorry, he's rubbish, wouldn't mind seeing him leave, personally I think HRK is a much better prospect.
As for the potential of getting Mackail-Smith, no thanks.
