The game was so good because everyone's expectations were so low. Instead we had a few unexpectedly good performances. A ball playing centre half - when did we last have one of these? A goalkeeper who dominated his area - a rarity indeed and a player in Collins who had the audacity to beat his man. Who'd of thunk it. All in all an enjoyable and surprisingly good day out that will live in the memory - more for the surprise element than anything else. But the crowd went home happy and that's a first given the garbage experienced in recent seasons.
