Certainly a great return and reward for the faithful. Been driving back today and heard Devlin and others raving about the electric atmosphere. It was certainly great but I think we’ve been a bit blinkered because it’s been so long since we’ve had our team home. Certainly a 24,150 crowd gives a bigger lift than 7000, but I generally find there is a good vibe at all of our games for most of the game.
A couple of standouts for me: Steven Taylor prevented 2 goals that I don’t think anyone of a lesser caliber would of done. He is an essential re-sign I believe. Payne looked very accomplished alongside him. Waine is very strong and his ability to hold up the ball and ward off the defender is valuable. Hemed, is class, he does so much off the ball, his little flicks and now his non-penalty scoring. I’d want to keep him too as the longer he’s with the team, the better we’ll be.
Davila leaving will be a blow and it would of been interesting to see what he would of done to that rabble last night.
One last thing, ran into Berisha last night as he and a team mate were talking a walk. Had a brief chat, and quite honestly.... a good bloke. Polite, humble.... I’ve always liked his onfield attitude and pleased that he seems to be a switch it on, switch it off kind of guy.
