A very special set of lads!

I stood next to the Bees dugout. Contrasting differences. Their boss, constantly barking orders at anything going square or backwards. Modern day emphasis. A tad harsh but onus on their objectives were very direct. Then Hendon. Steadfast, mentally assured. Not rushed, just waited for their chance and took it. Eddie and Tommy for me. Decision making, tackling cleanly. Brewer, his positional awareness, his nous and anticipation a joy to watch. Proper old school characteristics, worthy of a proper footballing occasion. One piece of bad news....That is now the benchmark. You have set the gold standard. The demeanor of these lads is what impresses me the most. We look unruffled. We have self belief. Wonderful traits.
Delighted for Lee, sorry gaffer, gave you praise last time out. Last night, the players to a man were incredible.
The lad up top by himself, cannot praise them enough. I could go on for hours...
