Allo, Allo! One Sentance Summary And Player Ratings From Rennes

|

“Good moaning” as Officer Crabtree would say.

A comprehensive 4-2 aggregate victory over a decent Ligue 1 team should keep those vultures at bay for at least another 24 hours.

Isn’t it good to finish a game smiling? Makes all the bad times worth it.

Summary and ratings then.

The Summary

90 minutes proof why we are ALL frustrated with this team.

    Well that was a turn up for the books!
    Usual European start; two minutes in and a goal down….. all too predictable and from a corner too.
    After the first fifteen minutes during which Rennes chased and ran down everthing the game settled into a midfield battle…… sometimes literally.
    We ultimately scored with three of our four shots on target and the one that was saved Stokes put into the net for the first goal.
    We all look at different parts of team but I thought Wanyama had his best game yet. Kayal also put himself about like last year.
    Forrest changed the game by coming inside for ten minutes midway through the first half.
    Paddy McCourt must learn to shoot with his left foot. You can’t continually run round a ball to get it on your right and not be closed down.
    Stokes and Sammaras for me were still too far apart but Stokes scored two and Samaras set up two so what do I know. Big Sammy even won a header or two.
    A seventeen year old came on to play centre half and looked as good as anything we’ve seen there for two seasons.
    Commons even managed to get 25 minutes in.
    All in all a good hard fought victory.
    Final mention too the guy who, when the ground was emptying at full time, walked through the security cordon swapped flags with a Rennes fan, hugged him and walked away with no bother at all. To me thats what playing in Europe is all about.

      It was a good night and fair play to that fan. Rennes fans were fine in France. Actually I think they were a bit bemused.

        It was one of those games that a lot of fans will claim to have been at who weren’t actually there.
        One of the girls that sits beside us in the upper north stand was told that the top deck was sold out when she went to buy her ticket on the day of the game but managed to get in anyway to sit beside her father and sister in a virtually empty row. I had to run past five emty seats to celebrate with them when the third goal went in.
        I nearly pulled a hamstring!!
