Just finished watching this on iplayer as I was away today. Fantastic result.
A lot of good points raised here.
Williams was outstanding. World class performance.
Harrison has come of age in these last 2 games and led from the front. (I now don't fear if Vaughan is out). He was an absolute animal out there. What an engine.
Ashtons finish was incredible but he was so good at bringing the ball out of defence.
It was a close game for 60 minutes but at half time I was worried about the 2nd half simply because Saints didn't really seem to have got going yet still were neck and neck with us.
But on reflection that was because of the way WE played and how WE did not allow Saints to play.
They made uncharacteristic errors because of the pressure WE put on them and got them rattled.
I simply didn't understand the Saints game plan.
I can't remember a single high kick to our right.
Saints forwards struggled to get 'go forward'.
Lomax and Welsby were non existant for large parts of the game.
Clark only had a couple of runs from dummy half.
Was this because we successfully managed to slow their ptb down? I'm not sure.
Clearly our best performance of the season.
Great team spirit and belief. Resilliance is building.
