[Rousseau 9,361]

Nice goal from Middleton.

 

Good play from Grezda and Arfield on the right, before cutting it across for Middleton to slot it home on the left -- first time shot aswell; nice finish. 

 

4-1. 

[Rousseau 9,361]

And... I missed the 5th, typing up the 4th...

 

Arfield with the goal! 5-1.

 

Nce play from Tav, cuts it across for Arfield, who composes himself and bends it into the far corner. 

[Gonzo79 13,589]

Excellent.

 

Middleton, despite occasional errors, has proved he is good enough to startfor us.  Great pace, delivery and he's a good finisher.

A nice problem to have!

[Gonzo79 13,589]

As an aside, when the season started, we looked solid in defence and short in attack.  The last couple of games suggest things have reversed completely. 

[Rousseau 9,361]

When Middleton has the ball, he's dragging 2-3 players out because they can't deal with his pace; I'd like to see Someone take advantage of that space. 

[Rousseau 9,361]

Grezda makes it six!

 

He stands them up, cuts inside and he creates the space to strike it low and hard into the bottom near post. Nice finish.

 

Grezda has had a very good half. I'm pleased for him. 

[Gonzo79 13,589]

Isn't that where Arfield or Ejaria should come in, @Rousseau?

[Gaffer 1,665]

Anyone else watching Grezda and thinking we've got a gem here?  When this boy is fully match sharp he's going to be exciting.  I'm very impressed with him today. He's got a Mols sort of style about him.  If he turns out to be anything like him it'll be awesome.

I think they keep heading for the box to get on the end of his crosses.

 

To be fair, they've worked the space a few times. I'd like to see it more, though.
