Five things from yesterday:
David Stockdale
I don't think we could have expected much more from the lad. Nothing he could have done about
the Cahill header, and whatever else came his way he dealt with nicely. The early deflected shot
could have made him look silly but he kept it out (and diverted it out of harm's way), and he made
a nice save late on as well.
Last year we justified the lack of goals by pointing to a cast iron defensive record. The idea
was (correctly, I think) that because the midfielders are more defensive than attacking our men are
behind the ball in transition and neither team scores many.
This year's been a bit of a bugger, in that we've already allowed 7 goals.
