Well, it was a long, happy drive back to the sunny BOP today.... My version of the ratings:
Pasty 7 Was sound, but had little to do. It would have been fun for him to come up for one of those last corners, but better to be safe with that clean sheet I guess
Manny 7.5 Strong, cleaned up his man each time
Durante 9 Fabulous game, always looked in control and to see him dribble past six players up the middle of the park... magic
Siggy 8.5 Never gave an inch
Lochie 8 Defended well and gratr to see his confidence coming forward. That header of his while lying on the ground was absolute classic
Leo 7 Available more as a link man, but combined well with Manny
Brownie 8.5 Took that goal very well, which set the scene for the flood that followed
Lia 8.5 Was everywhere, especially snuffing out thier options
Daniel 8.5 Great game, popped up at exactly the right times
Ifill 9.5 Nearly bloody perfect
Greeie 9 Outstanding, won so many headers and directed them to free players, unbeliveable for someone of his height
Caceras 7.5 Great runs with the ball, not quite linking up properly yet
Troy 7 Lovely goal
Chen 5 Had his chances and didn't take them
What a memorable game. Magnificent.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
