Absolute brilliant performance with virtually every player performing. Shame about the result but it is what it is as the young people say
Whilst Norwood played out of skin we would have been dead and buried if it wasn’t for a few great saves from Isted.
Difficult as 2 stand out performances for me and then a whole load of merely great ones Have to pick between Isted and Norwood and I think Isted just shades it
Isted for me, just over Mads. Mads Andersen was absolutely incredible. Insanely good yesterday - that goal line clearance kept us in it, he was the only outfield player with the anticipation who saw what could happen, and then later on, a huge block. I love that man. He & Isted, I was absolutely gutted for them both. Amazing performances - but yes, Isted, purely for the amount of saves and one of the best saves I've ever seen. Watched a bit of Sky and commentators said that save will go down in history. Brilliant
Norwood was great for the time he was on, Isted was good too but let's be right people Mads was head and shoulders and several notches above anyone on that pitch. Every non-porcine observer of that game I've read or had a conversation was frothing with how a lad that good was playing in League 1. He oozed pure class.
Isted. Outstanding saves. I actually think he’ll be disappointed with himself for the goal too, it wasn’t a bullet header and wasn’t in the corner. But we were still in it at that point thanks to him. Mads was outstanding but that’s bog standard for him: sadly the last time we are likely to see him in a reds shirt I fear. He can’t not have several admirers.
