Dollman is having a field day while our back four are playing like they've never actually met each other. It's a pattern, really.

One clinical finish and suddenly we're talking about a tactical masterclass. It's a pattern, actually: a bit of luck, a momentary lapse in concentration, and the narrative shifts.

Frutos-Lara scoring isn't the shock: it's the fact Kirkby actually have a pattern of play. (Leans in) Total accountability for the defence here, actually, because that was a stroll in the park.

A penalty miss is one thing, but doing it with that much confidence is a specific kind of torture. It's a pattern actually: we decide we're world-beaters for ten minutes, then remember we're not.
