LORD KATSUMOTO – 8/10 – Henrik Maedasson continues to bang them in – headers a speciality it seems, before trumping that with a Daizo Moravcik flighted chip to complete the move of the season. Though he was pretty quiet for half an hour and wondered if he’d swap with Jota. But he seemed to wake like Godzilla halfway into the movie and from then on it was a Daizen Rampage that could have brought a wonderful hat-trick.

DUNCAN IDAHO – 6.5/10 – The goals! Yes, that’s the one – he’s nothing without seeing the net bulge and it invigorates his general game. Continued his own personal rejuvenation and renewal of faith with another superbly-taken rebound strike; after an initial fine run and poke seemed to have denied him. All-round contribution could be far better, but that’s up to the boss to drill it into his skull – you want the jersey, do the hard yards.
NOTEBOOK – 7/10 – Did he ever leave? Talk about comebacks; you may only be able to eclipse this one if you really did get Wham back on tour – probably using some sort of embalming technique, animatronics and black magic. Anyway… George lives on in Jota with pitch-perfect delivery and dancing feet that is the perfect hot toddy to banish the chill on a dreich winter night and warm yer arse as it lifts of the seat time and time again.
Notebook…brilliant Sandman! And you are bang on about Engels.
