If we'd conceded that we'd have been asking questions of Goutas and McGuinessQuote:

Clever play, he seemed to arrive from behind them whilst staying onside.
One thing Ugbo is good at is finishing.
Two Preston Defenders ball watching. Ugbo peeled off, great header, great cross. I feel a bit sorry for Preston, those players were ****ed, focus and concentration was probably at a minimum.Quote:

It could be argued that they could have done better closing down Wintle too but we were camped in their final third for a good 15 to 20 minutes and they were out on their feet.Quote:

That is not to take away from their skill and patience in its execution but both players were fresh physically and mentally.
Their teammates frustratingly tried and probed and their introduction made the difference.
As an aside, EB has taken some stick in recent weeks (at times justified IMHO) for his substitutions but he deserves credit here.
I welcome the fact that he isn't afraid to try something different which can't be said about some of our recent managers.
It was a nice cross and finish. I don't really see anything "Premier League" about it though. It was well executed but poorly defended, and all in all a pretty basic football move. Something you'd expect to see throughout the divisions.
Well that's a surpriseQuote:

Love goals like this
Superb cross , timing , get in there
Quite right, you see good crosses and headed goals at virtually all levels of football. If anything they're becoming more of a rarity as crosses seem to belong to a bygone era. When teams get the ball out wide they often try and get to the dead ball line to pull it back, or put a low ball into the box and look to keep posession.Quote:

I can beat thatQuote:
