Title: STFC vs Forest Green R MoM
Post by: Red Frog on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, 20:37:38
Game of two halves? Harsh sending-off robbed us of a better quality game, but the team and crowd showed huge heart in that second half. I hope it counts for something.

Payne, involved in both goals and worked his bollocks off.

Special mention to Baudry too, but they all played well.

Quality of the game was irrelevant.
Only the result mattered tonight.

Baudry was repellent in the nicest way. Monumental performance. And initiated both goals

Lots of candidates. Baudry immense, Reed chasing everything to the end somehow. Williams brilliant until their goal. McKirdy a nuisance. I'm going to go with Payne as I think he was exceptional in both phases of the game.

Yeah he’s really proved a lot of people wrong when he’s played this season.
He obviously has his limitations in both ability and ability to play a full schedule…but…he’s obviously been managed off the pitch a lot better this season.

Would he be worth keeping around next season as the experienced head but not necessarily the first choice CB? I guess that’s relative to wages…or if he even plays to continue playing

If I'd been looking just at the first half I would have said that it was a dead heat between Williams, McKirdy and Payne.

In the second, I thought Payne ran and ran and ran. McKirdy was also incredibly clever and mature in his play.

As for Baudry, from what we have seen in the last month or two, I really hope that this won't be his last season. He has been superb.

But, a goal, an assist with a slide rule pass and his running in the second half was Payne at his best.

Difficult to choose between Baudry and Payne - plucked for Baudry

I think he has already said he is retiring.

Going in to Finance i think

Went Baudry. He's been immense for quite a while now. Him and Conroy have a very good understanding.

Williams was good first half, but partly at fault for the goal. Payne class.

Got closed down & tackled on the way home.
Looked up and it was Jack Payne.
He was everywhere. Incredible level of fitness & desire and just "wanting it", from all of them really.

The team dug so deep that the ice bath recovery session may well be in Clem's backyard in Sydney.

difficult one. Baudry & Payne both worthy.

whole team was up for it though. Not a duffer on the pitch.

tossed a coin. Baudry

Easy one - Jack Payne.
Playing with 10 men, the lad chased and closed everything down.
I know he looks after his body and that showed last night, unreal fitness levels.

I went with Baudry as hes genuinely surprised me since coming back in the team, hes been our best defender.

1st half I would have said Williams, 2nd half probably Payne but overall I plumped for Frenchy, in his last season in professional football he seems to be giving it everything he has.

But, no player really let us down yesterday, the only minus point is Iandolo stupid niggly fouling, 14 yellow cards, he should not have been booked for either challenge if he kept his head, now we are a left back down on Saturday thanks to him. Neither looking bookable offences is no excuse for silly niggly challenges all the time and shirt pulling, maybe there is actually a player in there if he can keep his head in the game and not get distracted.

I think that yesterday was our 1st genuine backs to the wall performance this season under Garner that has succeeded in its plan.
