Thanks for the report Paul. It sounds like you had a brilliant weekend topped off with a great result.
The Amex has been a happy hunting ground for us in the post-Covid era; three wins and a draw in four visits. Our approach to Saturday’s game was very much in the Sean Dyche mould, compact shape, solid defence and hoping to sneak a goal with a set piece or a lucky break. That was how we earned those draws last month against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. The difference on Saturday was we gained a lead which gave the team something to defend.
Few would argue with your man of the match. Gana was fantastic. I was really concerned when he went down injured and mightily relieved when he was able to carry on. In my view he would be well worth retaining for another season. He has been our most consistent, durable player in recent seasons.
The squad remains threadbare. The injuries on Saturday served to highlight the need for reinforcements in this window. Whether or not they can be recruited remains to be seen. Finding players who can hit the ground running at this stage of the season is enormously difficult.
