Well a thousand apologies to Johnathan Douglas - after his abysmal showing on
Saturday he put in a man of the match performance yesterday !
Yes ,he suffers from a lack of quality and ability and insists on trying to
do things he is unable to do and I am still not a fan of his, but credit where
it is due, and he is due a lot for his performance yesterday - he was here
there and everywhere, breaking up a lot of their attacks and really getting in
their faces, and to cap it all he made one match saving hooked clearance at the
end that was brilliant !
He was pushed very close for man of the match by Paul Huntington who was
excellent and deserves to keep his place in the team (whether at the expense of
Michalik who despite not looking great has helped us to 3 clean sheets on the
bounce or Rui I am not sure)
Howson, Kilkenny and Freedman also all had good games picking out players
well and keeping possession of the ball.
Yes we rode our luck at times - they had a few misses that looked quite bad
from the opposite end and Kilkenny headed one off the line and Casper made a
few good saves but we also had our chance with Howson just skimming one over,
Beckford wasting a couple and Kilkenny being pushed in the box for an obvious
penalty that was not given.
The goal - as can be seen on youtube - was a screamer - it is the 3rd long
range one Sheehan has taken and the the other two were decent enough , this one
was brilliant hit with power pace and precision - Sully had no chance. Sheehan
also did well defensively - it is amazing how much better we look with people
in their right position - we will miss him when he is banned for Hudds and
Carlisle.
Doncaster are a good side and certainly put us under pressure and we did well
not to concede - I always felt whoever scored in the second half would go on to
win it and we were never comfortable at 1 -0 but we hung on for 3 precious
points and another clean sheet.
That is 3 games on the trot where we have looked good and it does seem that
Mcallister is starting to get his message across. He has some big decisions to
make on Saturday with team selection (assuming Prutts, Rui and Kenton are fit
and no-one new is injured) let's hope he gets it right and we can build on
yesterdays success.
After a couple of bad months things are on the up again - roll on Orient on
Saturday and the first of two trips to the smoke !!
Dave
