I'm not really sure why, but I can't stop watching the goal against Sheffield Utd!
Although it's easy to put it down to goalie error, there is also a lot of hard work that goes into encouraging it and then exploiting it! Hernadez presses the defender to turn him back towards goal, Clarke presses the Goalkeeper to cause the doubt. Then Clarke momentarily puts his foot on the ball and assesses the situation before lifting it just enough to clear the goalie and find Hernandez. Finally Mr cool gets it into the net. I know we have already scored a lot more stylish goals this season, but I think that one says a lot about why we are up there. Well done Pablo and JC, you earned it!

I did the same Spanish. Clarke could have just decided that the goalie was going to get it. But he chased him down on his blind side! The goalie passed the ball without knowing Clarke was there. Clarke showed amazing coolness and skill to get it to Hernandez.

It is annoying to keep being told we were gifted the goal. We were actually gifted the opportunity. It took a cool head and some deft footwork from a young lad to create Pablo's finish, and he had to be there.

its those kind of opportunistic moments that are all too often missed as these was still a fair bit of work to do like you have said. 2 points extra for us and 1 less for Sheff Utd could prove to be decisive come the end of the season as well.

although it was a mistake and looks it there was so much energy and planning into the chasing down, it is easy to make mistakes when under such presure and clake did very well with the assist.

TBH, I don't care how we score, a gift, a handball, offside as long as we do score :) (I was going to say penalty as well but after 58 games without one, bit pointless eh? )
