At the ground, Naish was excellent. Menadue and Townsend were good.

The best game I've seen English play.

RCD getting some consistency on the inside. Needs to still work on his finishing on the outside. Had the chance to kick two goals.

Hopefully Eggy's corky isn't too bad and he is okay for next week.
