their size caught up with them in the 2nd, they tired steadily as it went on, and by the end couldn't cope with our passing and movement. westcarr also played well, but 2 good performances from 8 appearances don't cut it for me. their ref gave them a pen for butler winning a header, but bax, mantom and to a lesser extent westcarr all had very good chances to win it.
2 cracking moves and finishes for our goals, i hope hewitt can carry this forward. seeing mccready's shotstopping v cov i fancied our chances in the shootout, but fair play to him, he did well. hopefully revenge will be served lukewarm!
Fair enough, it's about the same ratio as Baxendale, and Hemmings too though, and probably two more than Lalkovic. Sawyers is the only one that has really shown any consistency out of our front line.
Smith needs to work out what he wants to do with this situation and sort it as quick as possible. On a more positive note Hewitt looked like just the player we have been missing. Put himself about, held the ball up, and bloody hell, not afraid to shoot. Brilliant technique for his goal too. Hopefully he can help solve this problem.
I'm not fussed if Westcarr is in the starting line up or not, as long as we get our forward line playing with some kind of fluency.
