I thought Oakley was fairly obselete TBH, but then it was his cross which led to the goal wasn't it? Kisnorbo was a man mountain, as was McAuley.
Can't fault your your assessment of the central defensive pairing.
I think the narrowness of wide players didn't help the two in central midfield as the ball out to the wing into space was not on that often, but I thought they both did a good job in breaking up the play.
Neither central midfield pairing stamped their authority on the game. No matter how much Beagrie and Goodman wanted to masturbate over Derry's performance. We gave him a bit of space by dropping the midfield deep and he crabbed a couple of passes sideways... great...
