Now, that really was a special, special performance.
To overcome the loss of Thomas before KO; to lose Obika, who was having a great game up front on his own; to play an hour with a youth team winger alone up front; to put aside a fortnight of speculation about certain player's futures (special mentions to Lego and Rothwell who were both immense); to come back twice from giving silly goals away; to have a back four who have never played together; to not have a manager after two weeks after sacking the previous incumbent; and to not just equalise late on, but then to just keep on pressing for the winner... that's right up there as one of my favourite away games ever (Crewe (a) 1996 and Carlisle away a couple of seasons ago still just on top).
Huge praise to all the team, but further mentions to:
Rothwell - massive, massive performance.
Lego - great character and great finish.
Henry - turned the game when he came on. Not quite sure why the fans don't like him.
Napa - bloody great effort. Some good touches and chased everything.
Buckley Ricketts - always a threat and his shot that hit the post would have sealed the move of the season.
