THE GOOD Well, the first half performance in general but I'm going to single out Kieffer Moore. Everything we've been missing up front - physical presence, boundless energy, a bit of skill and some much needed height to win the headers. Night and day difference in how much of a threat we pose in the final third. Should have had a goal late on but lost his footing and on tired legs couldn't correct it and went to ground. Of course this was because he'd ran his blood to water and even when there was only water left, I could have shot him in both kneecaps and he have still have covered more ground in the final 15 minutes than... THE BAD Mamadou Thiam. If he's our next choice after Moore and Bradshaw, then there's a job for the next couple of days - sign someone else! Although I do have a contingency plan if nothing comes off. Free agents can sign at any time, not just the window. Take a blank contact down to Locke Park on Saturday morning. All Thiam had to do today was chase round for 15 minutes and failed miserably. The first few lads round Parkrun cover four frigging kilometres in that time. That already makes them above Thiam in my pecking order. Absolute disgrace and not the only one. Which brings me onto... THE UGLY In case anyone hasn't seen it yet Check out @Jagzz88’s Tweet:
It was a right shove though. It was like a 2 ball plant. I blame mallan. His presence made it look worse than it was
It was obviously a second yellow for Cavare but I thought their player was making a meal of it at the time, like he’d got whiplash or something. Didn’t realised he’d crashed into Mallan haha could’ve lost 2 players there!
Its not as if he actually got tackled bad, he mightve got scraped by the laces of their player. Where the reaction came, i'll never know.
