Our goal is blessed.

I was beginning to think some divine intervention was at play in the first half. I'm sure God's too busy to worry about our clean sheet record, but it felt like there was a force beyond Trafford keeping it off target :lol:

two or three unreal challenges by our lads and some sitters missed, maybe the effort is earning the luck - long may it continue

Oh totally, I love how much they scrap for everything and celebrate every block. Sheffield Wednesday caused us more problems than anyone else I thought tonight but just couldn't find the onion bag

We were very lucky not to concede. He most vulnerable we’ve looked for quite a while at the back. Still, who cares when we score 4 at the other end.

Footballing God's.
Along with the exceptional individual defending and the outstanding organisation, they're smiling at the mo.
Enjoy. :D

We could’ve been 3-1 down at half time. We were miles off it in all areas.

We were superb from the moment Brownhill stepped onto the pitch, though.

My favourite was Connor Roberts stopping the Windass shot, by any means necessary defending - reminded me of Ben Mee

Wat che'd that back and there weren't really any sitters missed.

First is a speculative pot shot *really good effort and just wide.
Second from Armstrong is again not a sitter. There are 4 players around the 6 yard box making it really difficult for him to get a clear sight at goal and he flicks it wide
Next is a great block from Esteve
Then a loose touch from windass allows Roberts to poke it to Trafford (if he takes a tight touch he has to still beat Trafford from a wide angle.

None of them are sitters.

Easiest chance if the match after Connors tap in is Fosters miss

My point being that we kept a clean sheet by hard work. Not luck
