Sakho was genuinely injured..back injury.
Missed a fair few games before the Africa cup of nations..
He missed the Everton replay and two league games during the African cup.
I'm sure the club must have checked with powers that be regarding the position if he was fit again while the competition is still on..but there again we have history for cock ups..so who knows!
Some have commented on here on whether it was WHU being a good side playing in second gear today...or are we just a poor side?
Been interesting reading on here, of opposition views...well,its a running argument at ours regarding Nolan and Noble playing in the same side. Fat Sam gets loads of grief regarding being blind where he is concerned, his favourite son so to speak.
Downing gets pushed out of his central creative role, and is not the same player.
Sakho and Valencia together is when we are at our best, today you put us under constant pressure and didn't allow us to create much. Defensively we were excellent in the main, although song was poor today. Almalfitano made a lot of difference when he came on, and of course sakho. Been an amazing find.
Winston Reid was our best player...but he won't be with us much longer.
I would have given MOM to Luke Freeman personally. Like him a lot.
