He completely bossed the half until his knock. Him and Gael were running it, linking really well, and Deegs was the man creating chances. Some lovely crisp passing-best player on the pitch by miles.
I was behind the goal at The Harbury Lane end (Clash t-shirt, rucksack
) and he walked straight past me on the way off. He said:
"It's the same thing as last time. I just can't fucking keep the ball." He looked really miffed, and sounded devestated.
I think slating a bloke for being a "sicknote" when he's had injuries like he has is incredibly harsh, and he looks a class act if we can get him fit. Better than Aron by a bloody mile IMO. He picked up loose balls constantly tonight and didn't stop running. His passing was mint. If he's that good when he's playing in pain, I can't wait to see how good he's gonna be when he's fit!
It does leave a huge Deegan shaped hole in our midfield for the new season however
