I've just watched the game again, and I must say that it looked far more impressive second time round when emotion and anxiety isn't getting in the way of your judgement. I cant remember what I said yesterday while watching and straight after but, I'm sure I gave some players a harder time than maybe they deserved. I just wanted to say that.


Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany!

Evening Jeebus, and how did Ireland play?

Evening Danny.

Better than I'd gave him credit for. He did give the ball away but not as much as I thought I remembered. He worked hard to. Castillo played better than I thought yesterday too. I mean I did say yesterday that I thought he'd played well but I also thought he'd missed some good chances. Now after watching again, I can see that all the chances he had fell on his right foot so, maybe my assessment at the time that he shoulda done better was slightly harsh. As a whole I thought the team started slowly, picked up the pace after we went a goal down, stepped up even more after we scored, and by the end I thought we were playing some fantastic football. Full of running off the ball and willingness to work and cover for each other.

Its so much easier to assess when you're more relaxed about the result.

I wish I had that objectivity during a match, it would save me a lot of stomach acid.

I would like to again draw your and the MB's attention to Castillo's want to pick up a ball on a wing and run toward the opposite diagonal corner flag. I tell you it hasnt come unstuck yet but more to the point I think he will start to see dividends on this move, as long as he doesnt use it every time and his colleagues know what he is doing. It's not often you see a player who loves running at players and taking it 'across the pitch'. Loves a gallop does our Nerry.

That's something that really struck me as being different yesterday from the Wigan/Everton/Reading games. When we went behind we looked more like we did against Bolton at home - a bit of fire and tenacity.

Can we be confident now about the games against Bolton and Brum? I know we thought the same thing before the Reading and Wigans games, but there's six points there for the taking, and with the games Everton have got next those 6 points could see us breathing right down their necks again.

He does that. And I'll tell you what, I think if Castillo carries on in the same way that he is then we might just see the nearest thing to SWP at city since he left. He could be that good. There I said it.
