@MichaelBowers15 commented: “Watmore has been my man of the match. Ran down the channels well, scored one, brilliantly set up the third & should’ve had another assist before then. Granted it’s only one game but keep him fit (long shot) & he could be crucial for #SAFC.”
@Philip_RJ89 tweeted: “Cracking first half. Intensity, aggression, and some lovely attacking play, completed with three superbly-worked goals. You can definitely see how Parkinson wants this team to play, and there’s some very encouraging signs.”
@Taity79 posted: “It's like watching a different team”
@safcftm2016 added: “Shows what happens when you press and play with but pace”
