What a performance his 1st 90 minutes of the season and shaded the MOM for me tonight. Looked dangerous whenever he had time to run at their defence and a nightmare to defend against when he cuts inside. We are really strong out wide Isgrove Barnes got to start Saturday for me and 2 great back up wingers in Hammill and hedges let's hopefully carry momentum and get something from Birmingham COYR
I love Hammill, but got to go with Isgrove & Barnes, Hammill has still alot to offer though and he can be a great mentor to Isgrove etc
I haven't seen him live this season, but what I loved about Isgrove last time was that I think he sets the tempo for the whole team, especially with regards to pressing.
Just watched the extended highlights. Izzy's break from defence for the fourth goal was like being transported back in time to the promotion season. Great run.
I've just finished watching the full game and that passage of play was just about the best of the whole match. He chased down a ball on the touchline that looked dead, caught it, flicked it past two players, sprinted past another (leaving their lad floundering on his knees) and then looked like he was going for goal. He ran out of luck at the next defender but still managed to squeeze it through him. Then Bradshaw's instant lay off set Moncur up for a clear run. If only he had a right foot he would have probably scored, but he still had a great effort beaten away (for all of a couple of seconds). Then it came back to him and he laid it off to Barnes who slowed it to walking pace before a quick shimmy of the hips brought him back the crucial couple of feet. Then he just let fly with a devastating ground shot which beat the keeper at the near post. Cue explosion of sound from our fans. A truly magical passage of play.
