What's that unfamiliar tingling feeling? It can't be... it isn't... optimism?  Better put such thoughts aside. One game at a time and all that. I reckon it'll be a less familiar name on the coveted TEF trophy this week. |

Garrick. No brainer. Completely changed the complex of the game.

I went for Payne. A beastly performance effort-wise, even if lacking quality. Still running, nay, sprinting, up until the whistle blew.
Was tempted to go for Garrick despite not being on for long. Why El Shez take J Grant off sooner I don't know.

Payne for me. Even before the goal which confirmed it in my eyes. Iandolo close second. Honorable mentions for Pitman and Caddis

Payne. AK and Ellis close second.
Agree with Payne and Ellis if it weren't for "that" header . Odimayo though, na had his hand held for a good 75mins. Poor in the first half. Grant doing his job for him. Continued into the second. The dribble out of defence was good and the tackle at the end too but these should be standard defensive decisions. Not quite MoM levels imo. |

I went for Palmer, he was everywhere, in amongst them all the way through, his ball retention will always need a bit of work but he did a great job of stopping them tonight, Iandolo was close for me too.

Has to be Payne. Ran his socks off and scored the winner.

Camp 7
Superb handling from crosses. Looked very sound and secure. Beaten by one shot, which went right in the corner. Down too slow? Not sure, but he made a couple of crucial saves after. Gave everyone confidence.
Thompson 7
Poor first half with abysmal crossing but grew into the game in the second. Defended well and all of a sudden, offered a threat after we scored.
Iandolo 7
Great saving header capped a very good first half (apart from one hesitation that gave their striker a clear chance that he fluffed). Generally solid in the second half but a couple of dodgy moments.
A Grant 7
Couple of strange decisions and got caught out a couple of times. But, led the back line well. On another day he would have been punished.
Odimayo 7
A bit scrappy at times, but mostly very good. Absolutely crucial slide tackle in the area in the last 5 mins will be what I remember.
Caddis 7
Tried really hard and linked with Odimayo well in the first half. More defensive in the second. Beaten at the far post and lucky we didn’t concede from one cross.
Palmer 6
Quietly broke up play. Didn’t offer so much attacking.
Payne 8
Ran his socks off and defended brilliantly. We missed his creative spark, until he surged onto the free kick from Twine and blasted the ball left footed into a massive empty net.
Twine 5
Poor game today. Didn’t really get going in the first half. Was trying to walk the ball along the edge of the area to get a free kick or two in the second. Free kicks weren’t what we have seen
Pitman 6
Played battering ram again with no support. Had one half chance but nothing else.
J Grant 4
Poor first half. Did little in the second.
Sub:
Garrick 7
What a difference on the right. Unlucky not to score when cut inside, shot and defender headed it over. Caused lots of problems when he came on. Enabled us to actually attack!

Garrick - we moved up another gear when he came on and his energy won us the game.
Could have ended 0-0 before the change.

Special mention for the linesman.
His superb and completely and utterly spot-on decision making really helped make the difference.

Iandolo for me for the overall match - he is going to make the odd mistake and shouldn't lose it for one dodgey header. I agree that Payne pushes very close especially after that strike, but I am sure he made the odd dodgey pass tonight but it wouldn't have been highlighted because of his position.
If Iandolo has to go faultless for the whole 90 mins to get MOTM then he won't win many at this level.

Not to be too picky but the essence of getting MoM is usually how the highlighted goes for obtaining the award. A faultless performance. The header wasn't just a poor header, it was an incredibly dangerous and schoolboy header. Should have been a goal for them and we'd all be talking about that, along with another "if only". He did well though. Just not quite MoM well. In. My. Opinion  |
