Hi Sean, Glad you had a good time - me too !
BUT I diasgree with your assessment of Douglas. He was really poor in the second half - honest ! We noted at least 6 really poor passes and as for his shooting. I think Nick Allen called it 'over ambitious passing' - I'd just call it crap passing. Every ball with the outside of his foot. I don't doubt his effort - it is immense but he's just not good enough.
