Mentioned in the post-match thread that l was a guest at the game and so was in the Boardroom before and after. He and Greg Dyke obviously get on very well, so not sure if he was there to watch anyone in particular - probably just convenient fixture for him to get to and his mate invited him down. That said, my suspicion is that Jordan Cousins was of more interest to him than Solly - said he was 'aware' of Cousins and he's a good player. Came across as a very good bloke - made an effort to talk to kids about football, posing for selfies etc and paying them as much attention as everyone else in the room.
Hmm, thought he might have done a little better with the goal to be honest. It was pretty obvious Smith would look to cut inside and Solly was turned rather too easily for me. Maybe short of match fitness or give credit to Smith, but by his high standards...

The highlights looked to me like Smith did well rather than Solly making an error. I'm sure Solly will be cross that he got turned but Smith's no fool, he's been taking on fullbacks for many years.

Either that or he wants to steal Big Bob's tactics.
