Never celebrated a goal like that. Ever. I don't think the fact that we were robbed of it really dints the elation. We showed the world the level we are at - it is up to the players now to take that into the rest of their careers.
The angle isn't great and you don't have the ball being kicked in the same shot... but if you look at the grass lines when he picks he ball up he is 2 yards on so somewhere very shortly after that freeze frame with the toe off where COH is in the process of kicking it Wan-Bissaka goes past him...
Just suddenly struck me as sad that Sakamoto didn't get to play. Not because he would have destroyed them after Fabio limped off but because I doubt he has been involved in too many club games that made an impact back home.
He'll be devastated. It happens. The players the manager - there were things to learn from the game particularly the first 60 minutes; I'm a little annoyed with the VAR thing but mostly - if you'd told me when I was watching that game against Doncaster that the time would come when we were third...
Guys, I love you all, but it sounds like some of you have been munching snails this morning. Look back at that league table on page one. We made 5th place from a much worse position with 3 wins and two draws because we held our nerve whilst those around us flaked.
Part of elite sport is about...
Came on created the goal and put in another cross or two that someone should have gambled on. Looked a bit nervy at times but not sure what more we could realistically have expected from him.
May struggle for game time when EMC comes in but I thought his contribution was pretty encouraging.
Boring answer is that they'll take a look at him in preseason and make a decision BUT young lad, knows where the net is, international and Robins et al have a proven record of improving strikers. Why not?
