Highlights thread is here.
On what I said earlier. For the goal he starts to come straight away then stops because their attacker changes direction and wrong foots him, then hes out again. At the time it looked to me as though he just dawdled for a second or 2.
For the rest of it. The ball isnt deflected to Howard, its crossed in, and Lonergans well on his feet and looks like he covering a shot or any cross to the deep cross to the back post. Unfortunately, no one covered Howard.

Its just like when he pretended Birmingham didnt look dangerous with crosses because he'd seen the replays. Absolute spaz.
the first save from ward is quality, Ward did excellently to turn and give himself a chance. If hed scored no one could have blamed Lonners, but he gave himself every chance by getting out early and making himself big. Excellent. Same goes for the late 1 on 1 against beattie. Calm composed and excellent decision making. He also helped cut out the option of Beattie squaring it.
The howard save goes without saying, but thats the kind of stuff hes always been good at.
Without doubt, especially after seeing highlights, the best game hes ever had for us. Literally didnt put a foot wrong.
