Big win that.

Offy, Sobo, Drinan, Smith all in running for me, but nobody stood out good or bad that much.

Think I'm going Sobo

Delaney also good

I agree with that shortlist, although I'd say that Drinan ran a lot, but was ineffective until the second half of the second half!

There was a real lack of quality & composure throughout the entire team today.

Delaney was the most composed & was a big reason for the clean sheet.
Ofoborh was absolutely everywhere to win the ball back.

It's nice to get a win despite not being able to string 3 passes together though.

Sobowale or Ofoborh for me. Those two were a cut above the rest but solid all round.

Went for Sobowale but its hard to split those two.

Kilkenny was good, so him.

Kilkenny for me, honourable mentions to Delaney and drinan

Surprised sobowale got so much love, thought he was dog toss

Think I’ll go for Sobowale (after thinking about it for a bit).

He looks to have learned from mistakes he has made. He took no chances in defence and look to take a little more responsibility to cross the ball.

Ofoborh was tidy and scored a great goal, so him.

Not sure we've had a four way race for a while, this is fun.

Fwiw Whoscored have it Kilkenny by a nose from Smith with Delaney, Wright and Ofoborh not far behind.

Ofoborh again for me.  With immense credit to the defenders themselves inc. Delaney, Nnamdi was a real factor in us securing a 2nd consecutive L2 clean sheet. And of course a decent shot to open the scoring.  

I did wonder if the ball was doing something in the air - even if there could have been a slight puncture or similar - as I felt the keeper was odds on to tip that shot round the post or away.

He was out of position - Too far to his right. Had he been positioned properly, it would have been a comfortable save. I think Ofoborh looked up and saw that, which is why he leathered it.

Ofoborh was solid. Decent hit too.
We scored more yesterday past their keeper than we did past their outfield player in goal.

Thought Kilkenny was tidy in the middle & used the ball relatively well on a day when our passing wasn’t as good as it can be.

Not sure I’d concur that Sobowale was particularly great tbh.

Another "all of the above" type performance.

The sympathy vote goes to Drinan as I sit next to an overly harsh critic of his efforts.

I do like Sobowale. Gives it everything and in return we get to see the good, the bad & the ugly and everything in between.

Ofoborh, Kilkenny, Smith, Delaney and Sobo all in with a shout but I went for Offy for his goal as well as his overall play.

The only person I was a little disappointed with was Nichols. We simply couldn't get him into the game.

Don't misconstrue that, he needs game time and we need to learn how he plays.

Nichols did a bit of dirty work chasing balls and players but he doesnt look fit at all yet, he linked up well with Smith early on but went missing as he tired in the 2nd half.

I still think hes a better option than Butterworth but I would love to see a speedy option up front for us.

From what I've seen so far I think Nichols will be most dangerous if we can get some out & out wingers in.

Think that'll allow him to recycle play out to them and also get onto the knockdowns from Smith.


With our current set up he'll do ok as an experienced head but he won't get much of a chance to create space for himself.

Don't hate it considering our position in the table but it does feel like we've found the only hard work and industry number 10 in football. Holloway really isn't a guy for flair players who fade in and out of games is he.
