Caldwell – looked comfortable, like he’d never been out of the team. Liked the way he was organising the back line; talking to & encouraging the defence. Could emerge as our natural leader.
McCarthy – 1st Prem start. Lots of energy & enthusiasm & tucked his goal away well.
Bottom line is: these two boys don’t have primaddona egos. Just what we need !
How much did we pay for Webster; compared with Caldwell for a measly million ? Could be Bobby’s bargain buy !
McArthy was outstanding against Hull as well in the cup recently, maybe its just took him a while to settle. This kid could go be the missing piece from our midfield.
McCarthy has only just turned 19 and Bobby recently stated to the press he though he was ready and yesterday he proved it. I thought he was brilliant and my man of the match. He won the penalty through chasing a lost cause, followed up well to a good save for his goal and the ground he covered + tackles he won is what impressed me the most.
I thought Caldwell and Bramble were fantastic, only 1 piece of bad defending when Ebanks-Blake missed that sitter in the 1st half but I think that was down to communication and the 2 full backs playing his onside.
Overall a fantastic performance by the team and hopefully, we can be a little more consistent in the 2nd half of the season.
My main positive from the game is that from start to finish we were on top, 13 shots on target, 51% of possesion and we completely controlled the game even after losing Thomas (what a stupid challenge).
