Excellent point from a game in which we probably didn't expect to get anything from. Sounds as though we could have had all 3 if not for their keeper.

 

Hopefully we can follow this up with 3 points against Blackpool who lost at home to Shrewsbury today.

Tbf, bar a couple of efforts in the first half, JJ didn't have to do much.

 

However, a bit more composure in the final 3rd and we'd have won that easily.

 

Super save from Coleman btw.

Dummigan was excellent - my MOM.

New lad looked handy too

No idea how their keeper got MotM. Aside from the Winchester shot he had nowt to do, not that it was without pressure - we were in the game, just seemed to spurn every break away or miss the target when it mattered.

 

Murphy and Holloway very impressive nevertheless, as they managed to cause problems and keep lively with some nice touches. Forte had one of those in and out games, and can see him making way for Holloway.

 

Their wingers were among the best you'll see this season so the full backs did a decent job restricting them to just a couple of breaks. Same goes for the centre backs - worked well covering each other as a three, and can see that being very effective away from home.

 

Feels like we're onto something now, but ultimately we need that home win for the momentum to stay up. Our survival is dependent on it.

Saves from Winchester, Murphy, Forte, Kelly, Lafferty....yeah, nowt to do....

I honestly don't remember them. To clarify I'm talking saves beyond routine, such as the Winchester one - if you're classing the Forte one as a MotM-winning save then keepers would get it every week...

Special Mention for Dieng, I've not been fully convinced by him in any position but he was excellent today, first half especially. All round good performance. Maybe Dunn might be in a job if he'd tried to work with the squad?

 

Hey, there's only one special mention.

Don't think you were watching the same match as me.

He didn't really have a difficult save to make except for that Winchester wonder-strike. The others of any note were a cross and a fairly simple Kelly(?) save.

 

We never troubled him seriously, which is disappointing considering the opportunities we had in the final third. Three times in the second half we were running straight at their defence with men either side, and not once did we work him. With a bit of confidence we'd probably have converted one.

 

Coleman had to make harder saves...

Dieng was a class apart today. Never missed a challenge, confident and classy
