Absolutely brilliant back heel tackle if you saw it, back 4 superb.

And that timed lunge near the corner flag in the last 10. Invited their player to make a move and just owned him. Totally solid. Including the defensive 2 in the middle the back 6 were immaculate. Poc (sign up) started whacking them out for no reason near the end but I'd rather out than doubt.

Also a big fan of Poc's overhead kick interceptions.

I'd guess that backheel tackle was around 75. The other probably circa 80. All occurred when Barnsley decide to run sideways across the pitch a lot.

Agree about the corner flag one. Stunning. It's one of the reasons I gave Bruno a one word description in the Player Ratings thread: ninja.

The more I see that man the more I like him. Incredible level of consistently good performances from him this season which at the age of 37 (edit: okay 36 and a half!) is pretty astonishing.

Not sure if the same one, but Bruno did a back heel tackle at 1-0, which went straight to Knocky who charged up the pitch but then shot straight at the keeper. It is on the Ch5 highlights.

I couldn't see the one at 80 minutes, although he did make a perfect sliding tackle on 84 minutes.

I found this at 63 minutes, which is sublime:

Barnsley Player have got the full two halves of the game available, if anyone wants to watch the whole match again, or just half of it.

I feel pretty pathetic asking this, but how do I get to see Saturday evening's Championship?

I'm 37 in three weeks and the level of performance and fitness seen from Bruno over the last two seasons might as well be the Moon when compared to the likes of me.

It's weird but I don't panic when he loses possession upfield anymore because I know that one of three players will be filling in for him. Team performance like this might extend his playing life by for another 3 years at this rate.

Top banana.
