Watched the highlights. Shocking assault by Connor Salmon on Ziggy, and amazing he didn't get red.
As for the goal, well... sweet strike by Boyd. I recall he scored a cracking goal early last season, and we anticipated more, but he couldn't get in the team and ended up out on loan. Hopefully he's progressed and we see more of that this season.
Dramatic stuff from Canning making the double sub before the free kick was taken. Looks like we have genuine competition for the second striker role. Surprised Bingham is getting the nod over Bloomfield, but could be Canning is giving him a last chance. Once Oggy is fit, surely he'll lead the line, with one or two of Miller/Bingham/Boyd/Cunningham just behind.
Shame Cunningham didn't get the goal at the end - it would have boosted his confidence, in the same way Boyd's undoubtedly has been.
And good to see Woods make a couple of decent saves. A clean sheet. An unexpected win. 3 points on the board when 4 other teams have yet to accomplish that. Our new team starting to come together. Very early days, but we should all be happy with that.
