Its really difficult to get the full flavour of a game via newspaper and radio reports. However, the quotes from Dave Jones do suggest that this was a much better performance - it could hardly be worse than the Leicester game.
RAVE: The report by South Wales Echo reporter Terry Phillips was also positive, although I'm not sure that any player can be worth 8 out of 10 in a nil-nil draw except perhaps a goalkeeper. I trust Terry Phillips' judgement more than any other local reporter - his opinions on a game usually are very close to my own, unlike certain writers for the Wales on Sunday who sound as if they have been to a different game. Terry gets a "RAVE" for his work throughout the season, not just for this game.
Today's Daily Mirror reports that Arsene Wenger is going to launch a bid for Aaron Ramsay - worrying but not surprising. The lad must have his price, and if he is to go lets hope its a good deal. Keeping on the good side of Arsenal may be useful if we want loan players in the future.
And so to the Cup match. We have nothing to fear from Middlesborough, although we must be underdogs. I wish the boys luck, despite my previous misgivings in this blog about cup football, and I will willingly swallow my pride and admit my hypocrisy to go to Wembley for the semi-final should they get through!
