Bit to talk about in that game, but what a fucking win.

Wright. But I've been critical of Cox lately so should point out good performance from him today as well.

Drinan and Glatzel were huge for turning it around, Longelo and Kirkman solid as ever.

Clarke really good again, Drinan got us back in it. A good pen by Cox but not much else... going to go for Wright I think.

Like a lot of games recently - I don’t think anyone stood out either by being head & shoulders above everyone or at the opposite end of the scale being worse than everyone else.

Cox deserves a shout for stepping & more importantly scoring the penalty.

Yeah I think a lot of 7/10s in that side. I've given it to the Bedford Beckenbauer.

Went for Cox but (for once) there are several candidates as well as a number of honourable mentions i.e Drinan, Glatzel, Longelo. Well done lads. Really, really well done...

Honorable mention we've not had yet - Kirkman again not looking out of place whilst literally out of place at a much higher level than he's played before.

Kirkman looks mustard to me. Capable at LWB or LCB.

Wright for the 90, closely followed by Ofobohr.(If only he could shoot!)
Glatz and Drinan for the last 15.

Off topic slight but what happened to Jaxon Brown who we also bought back from a loan spell.
Holloway put him in for a couple of games and…he’s vanished? Is he injured?

Wasn’t he on the bench at Bromley?

He was.
Didn’t even register.

Finding this difficult as it was a good team performance. No one particularly stood out.

Ofoborh did all of the non glamorous things well.
Wright did the sexy things
Drinan and Glatzel ran lots
Longelo made an impact

Those who stood out as not so good were:
Barden - Could have thrown the game early on
Tshimanga - Back to falling over, but did get freekick for first goal and linked with Smith well
Smith - The bang on the nose affected him significantly
Sobowale - One mistake and had difficulty with Gordon
Butterworth - One cross but not much else

Think I’m going to abstain.

Longelo offers different to anyone else in the squad, would defo keep him this season - been impressed the last few weeks.

Yes, but I see that as 'They were all shite!' And on this occasion, they weren't!

Tricky one for me. As others have said, there are several candidates so I couldn't pick one out over the others just based on the way they played. So, I've gone for Ofoborh purely for his emotion after Cox's pen and then at the end of the game. It looked like it meant as much to him as it would for any of us

This is it for me. Personally nobody is standing out in particular, but we are playing so much better as a team than we did under Kennedy. Holloway has galvanised what we have and is getting good performances out of his players. Even Tshimanga, who looked an absolute hopeless case previously is starting to show he might not be a total waste of a shirt.

I was going to go for Drinan, but that would show bias as I have manlove for him  :soapy tit wank:

Wright gets it. He's involved in everything, throw ins, free kicks, calmly moving into midfield with the ball when required. I guess when you are so involved it's easier to give a player like that the MOM, but generally a lot of what he did yesterday was very good.

Ofoborh for me, controlled and commanded midfield.

He was literally praying as Cox was preparing to take the pen - you can see it on the highlights. God is a Swindon fan, confirmed.
