He pulled a great effort out of the bag against Donald early doors, as well. Top effort.

That was a magnificent tackle. I thought Gilmour was excellent in defence. I had my doubts pre-season about him as a centre, but on yesterday's showing he looked the part to me.

Buderus had a ball over the top to McGuire and we had alot of men over on the left, if he'd found McGuire we had a very good chance.

Gilmour smoothered Buderus as soon as he caught it. No chance of offloading.

Same, but he's fitted in really well as replacement for Talau.

Sweet pass by Peacock though. Had me worried for a few seconds.

Crying out for a right winger to appear effortlessly on his shoulder and finish the break then.

What's Alan Smith doing these days?

Still at Newcastle I think, but he made his first visit back to Elland Road for the MK Dons game t'other week.

Yes, that's the Alan Smith I was thinking about. Still good right winger though.

I'd have to disagree there. He can play there, sure, but I always felt he was more effective playing up top, alongside a target man such as Viduka.

Wasn't Viduka a prop though.

He was a forward and he's definitely more prop shape than anything else, but it's more like your typical RU prop build than an RL one.
