The ACN Match Review 24/25 – Hull City (h)

How did we play?

It was beautiful, a joy to watch. Quick, incisive, brave, creative, relentless. Not everything came off, but not everything has to. A good day to miss a penalty as it should have been ten. We have come a long way since Oxford away and I’m looking forward to seeing where we’re going.

What was the best bit of the game?

The four goals were all a bit special – Núnẽz’s exocet, Sargent’s team-built tap-in, Gordon’s first League goal on his birthday, Sainz’s delightful chip – so let’s go for Fisher’s inch-perfect crunching tackle in the box towards the end (one of several such tackles from him in this game), which he celebrated heartily himself before taking a high-five from all of his defensive team-mates.

What was the worst bit of the game?

Angus not coming out after half time. It could be bad news for Scotland but the international break has probably come at a good time for us.

What was the atmosphere like?

More subdued than the equivalent 3pm kick-off would have been, but a fun time in the sunshine with the Olés more than appropriate. Hearing “EIEIEIO” break out for the first time in a while definitely means we’re on to a good thing. Abu Kamara got the pantomime villain treatment but did give the Barclay a clap on the way off and got a smattering of applause from some at least.

Hero of the match

Núnẽz ran the show, again, and stuck one in the top corner for good measure.
