I agree the first five minutes he looked over excited but I thought he then settled and looked the part and think he could a job for us. Harris looked a bit more composed but had the benfit / confidence of starting.

I thought he was OK as well. He certainly appeared to be thinking abut what he was doing and how to get into the game. Not surprising since he had not played before. I would rather a player try to use his brains than dash around like a headless chicken.

Still think a walk on song(whatever it may be) blaring out over the tannoys sets the tone

Euw. Let the fans make their own noise.

Agree good post Crofts pulling the strings will free the creativity in Dolan and Sheehan

Agreed. Cannot understand the criticism of Croft.. He had a steady game, influential in mid-field , despite the fact he hadn't trained all week.

Very well done lads, we grafted for the points, and deservedly took them!
COME ON 'U MIGHTY PORT
