how did he play tonight? did he have anything too do?
Watched the game tonight, and I can tell you Woodgate was foot perfect, mature, reads the game well, nice passer of the football, good in the air, strong in the tackle. keeper had 2 saves to make all night, against a team, albeit weakened tonight, challenging for Champions League football. If Woodgate had played sunday, IF, we would be playing United again in the FA cup replay, makes Dawson look like a cart horse I am sorry to say. Rest of the defence including Huddlestone were immaculate too.Didn't get to see the first half but saw most of the second, he was the man of the match imo as well, cleared everything up, great defensive performance and a great debut. If we can keep him fit and get Ledley playing a few more games, it's looking very promising.
Good point earned when we were under the cosh for most of the first half. We finished the game stronger as well.

Shame he can't play against Manure at the weekend.
According to a Boro fan on another board, Woodie hardly goes up for corners cos his legs are shattered.
