It was a win - but man what a tale of two halves. First half we had 60% possession (officially). Second half felt the exact opposite. There was a decline in long ball play, which I appreciated. Kacper couldn't find the frame if it was twice the size. And those "Ultras" down in the corner of TRE? What's that all about?
I’m not an expert on the supporters groups, but the Keystone Ultras started having an impact a couple of seasons ago. Seems like an energetic and loud group bringing fresh energy and new chants into the river end. At times the SOBs and the Ultras seem to defer to each other, and often they just do their own thing at the same time. The Ultras have one particular chant/clapping sequence that has gotten the entire stadium involved a number of times. I think they’re a great addition!
