I was at the game and it seemed to me that we were much the strongest in the first half and they were in the second. A draw might have been the fair result but happy with the win and I though we looked the better side overall. Surprising to find our view obscured by the sun for much of the game - should have packed sunglasses!
I thought that Jordan Houghton was the best player on the pitch - a class above in fact and took some threatening corners. Danny Mayor did well - and was very effective at breaking up play, particularly in the first half. Hardie has received some stick on here but I thought he worked hard for the team. Great cross from Broom and header from Garrick. Less impressive than usual at the back. Gillesphey struggled and Wilson has had better games - he could well have had two yellow cards. Scarr dominant as usual. George Cooper looked all at sea for me, but it was his first game for quite some time. I was please that Ryan Law came on to replace him, until he started playing. I saw some posters suggesting that he had improved the team, but he looked clueless and eventually the rest of the team used him to create space for others. His header was a good chance but it looked like a defensive nod back to the keeper.
Terrific decision to bring Luke on and a great save from Mike Cooper at the end to keep us in front.
