Team: Amos; Lee, Evina, Hazell, Trotman, White, Morais, Furman, Stephens, Taylor, Tounkara.

 

Subs: Brill, Todd, Black, Winchester, Jones, Reid, Feeney.

 

So Black is out, presumably Evina replacing him at left back. Not sure what the formation is.

We always sound like we are going to score when we attack. Great to see Reid brake his duck in no time at all.

 

Just back from a very satisfying night at BP. First-half was a bit scrappy, all our best work came wide and strangely enough the goal and the chance that we hit the post with both came from Tonk's runs down the left. The early goal was just what we needed but the conditions were difficult and Collins their no. 5 should have headed an undeserved equaliser, that was the only real time they threatened. Second-Half a defensive blunder allowed Morais to wreak havoc, the ball was switched to the Ginger Ninja who walloped home an instant second. From then on we hardly broke sweat, Morais was excellent, Lee marked the usually superb Monkhouse out of the game and the third goal was sublime, Evina hitting a smashing cross-shot after a speedy break - again we switched the ball quickly across the park and Evina drove a rocket of a cross-shot into the net. Reid was rightly brought on for Tonk next and should have scored with his first touch but to be the fair the keeper made a smart save low to his right. Late on a free-kick was half-cleared played back in and Reid scored with an emphatic header. All in all a great night - disappointing to hear about Peterborough, Charlton and Southampton's late goals but we're in the top 6 on merit and I see the Daggers had a thumping win on tonight so it could be a goalfeast on Saturday.

 

Amos - Being treated for hypothermia - 6

Lee - Excellent all night, one dodgy slip but kept the ever-dangerous Monkhouse quiet - 8

Rubes - He was excellent tonight and quite vocal at times - 8

Trotman - Looked to have switched off a few times which could have caused trouble - 6

Evina - Defended well, linked up well with Taylor and White, wonderful goal - 8

Furman - Usual busy performance won a lot of loose and second balls - 7

Morais - Take back my reservations, this lad is a match-winner superb player sign him up!!! My joint MOM 9

Stephens - Excellent at times, sloppy at others, but worked hard when we didn't have the ball - 7

White - This lad has the knack of being in the right place at the right time just by drifting in at the back post and he's cashed in woith 3 of his 4 goals that way so far - 7

Taylor - Our Talisman, took him a few minutes to get going but he's added responsibility to hi game, he wants to be involved and wants to run the show. Superb Joint MOM 9

Tonk - Looked a handful in the first-half, looked to have ran out of steam and looked lethargic at times but then offers a burst of pace. Collins won most of the headers against him - 6 1/2

 

 

Subs:

Reid - Looked lively, could have and maybe should have doubled his tally to a brace, with the early miss. But will score goals - 7

Feeney - Busy, wanted to be involved - 6

Jones - Didn't have too much time to impress - 6

 

It's about time we gave the Monkey Hangers a pasting, what a shame it was watched by such a pathetic (but very loyal and grateful crowd)

Give Tonk a 7 and I agree with everything here
