Having a beer and a reflection.
Obviously great to win, but that was not a match to set the pulse racing. I doubt we’d have scored had it not been from a set piece, and I can’t think of any real chances we carved out. However, as a sort of ‘tester’ game to see how our second string can perform if needed, it seems we can carry on the KR hallmark of being a very solid side even with most of our first team missing, which is very promising indeed - especially given that that was against as good a L1 attacking force as we are likely to see (the caveat is obviously the lack of Maddison, and thus any real attacking creativity, but how many teams have a Maddison?). We controlled the midfield, gave up very little if anything at the back and kept our discipline. Woodburn has a bit of the shithouse about him, which I like. His legs also move astonishingly quickly - I don’t think we’ve had anyone that good on the ball since Roofe!
I said in the summer that I was astonished no one was coming in for CB, and to be honest I can’t see him staying beyond January let alone next summer if he continues this form. The fact he’s adding goals to his imperious midfield performances is turning him into arguably the best CM in the league for my money. Sheer quality.
