Great performance, full marks to Phil Brown today. Brave team selection and subs but they all worked perfectly and he deserves all the credit for that. Superb counter attacking football for first, second and third goals and we could have kept playing until next weekend and I don't think they would have scored. Payne was superb but unfortunately the only real option after Deegan's stupid sending off. Barnett also superb, although hard to criticise anyone other than Deegan after that.
Bentley 8 Some good first half and second half saves but was well protected by his defence
O'Neill 8.5 Quality performance, a great last ditch tackle saved us at 1-0 up and was quality throughout.
Bolger 8 Solid and won a lot in the air, distribution could have been better at times
Barrett 7.5 Led the back line well and a great sweeper.
Thompson 8.5 Threw himself in the way of everything and justified retaining his place after the few poor performances
Hendrie 7 Did well for the second goal and looked solid and dependable throughout
Atkinson 8 Worked hard as always and his pressuring was superb, can count himself lucky he drew the foul for the pen as he could have shot on a few occasions
Deegan 6 Marshalled their attacking midfielders well, stupid yellow and stupid second yellow and doesn't help himself in those situations by getting in the refs ear
Leonard 7.5 Controlled the midfield and key in the transition when it was on the deck
Payne 9 Great performance, they couldn't handle him at all and he is the best creative player we've got. Unfortunate to go off but the right choice.
Barnett 8.5 Took his chances very well and a great penalty, lots of what we have been missing out on
Subs
Timlin 8 Shored things up in midfield and calmed things down, great leadership and showed why he should replace Deegan next week
Hunt 7 Chased what he could
McQueen 7 As above, not a lot of time
Well done to Phil and a great performance to get some positivity back!
