Good energy today, much more urgency and moving the ball forward faster. Remains to be seen if this is a new approach, or a lineup designed for the bottom side. Several good performances, and I'd say one standout one.

Iandolo - not a spoilt ballot paper as some have done in the past

No disrespect to Town players today but honourary MoM is Grant for me. It's just the respect and send off he deserves. Ian obviously is the Man today for Town  |

Iandolo - For his beautiful balls!
Honourable mentions:
McKirdy for his energy. The bloke was everywhere
Tomlinson was MotM in the first half. Solid in the second
Aguilar grew in confidence as the match progressed (Gladwin was building momentum until injured)
Reed made a difference to us. His thundering challenge in the second half got the crowd behind the team
Wollacott with several good saves. One complete balls up so that he had to make 3 saves mind!
Davison. Awful performance until the ball hit him and went into the net! Good penalty and then looked more confident linking up!
Cooper and O'Brien looked good too.
Barry can only play if Williams isn't . Looks tricky but lightweight.

Pretty much this. I see what you’re saying about Barry, however, the lad won’t likely be with us next season one way or another but while here he could be the become a juvenile Electric Squirrel on the opposite side of the field. Would work if we can switch play quickly enough and often enough during a game to terrorise the oppo defence. Does need a bit of weight on his bones though. |

Iandolo poor first half.
How anyone couldn’t see the best player on the park Reed.
Superb, all over it at the back, mopping up, passing and preventing pressure on the back line.
Need Conroy and Reed back regularly and will start to create more chances like the first half of the season.
Granty struggled towards the end for them but looked their stand out player.
The number 6 for them unbelievably poor.

Others did well especially 2nd half but the win wouldn't have happened without Iandolo. The pass to Mckirdy on its own deserved it, then followed up with another quality dribble and pass for the pen and a few crosses in between.

My god we needed Reed back. Twice as good as anyone else on the pitch.

Reed for me. That formation has to stay as well, the empathis isn't on the defenders to come out with the ball either so it works perfectly with the 2 we had in today

I agree but the dude deserved his send off today  Top class. Always seemingly gave his all when in the shirt and fantastic with/to the fans. Decenter banter too. Not much more many would want. His "departure tweet" said it all and he had the final goodbye from the Town faithful. I'm glad he milked it with a lap of honour. Top man. |
