b petrified that they were going to lose the lead because they knew what who they were playing they were playing a good side i mean the the groans from the milton end half of which was hull the groans from the hull crowd traveling faithful uh what were deafening when seven minutes went up as the time added on and we'd have felt the same wouldn't we so we understand that
But I want to talk a little bit as well about some of the individual players.
We had a look at, I believe he's called Jojo, the Senegalese, is it, Dio?
When he came on, we had two free kicks.
in positions where you want to cross the ball they were wide and they were a little bit deep just beyond the edge of their penalty area perfect for a floated ball into the area and we've been doing that for corners and getting nowhere because they were a big side suddenly we've got six foot four inch Jojo out on the pitch we had two free kicks and sensibly I think Segacic took both of them
But on both occasions, Jojo went to the far post and he was picked out.
A nice floaty free kick that he got his head on.
He got his head on the first one.
And I said, they're going to do the same thing again because, you know, there's no tactic you can employ to negate somebody who is six foot four and who can jump and he's young and strong.
If you aim for him and you get the pass right, the cross right,
he will get his head on the ball.
And the second time he got his head on the ball in a really meaningful way.
I'm not saying he was unmarked, but he had an opportunity to direct the ball where he wanted to, but it didn't go there.
So I think both of them ended up as goal kicks.
But the point is he was winning the ball at set pieces.
If Joachim is back, it's the job that he does so well.
And we have missed Josh Murphy, even though Mill Alley is a very, very good replacement stand in whatever he is.
