Similar to Bradford in that we tired in last 30 mins, except Torquay put us under real pressure with their long ball tactics. Mohsni & Gilbert were out on their feet at the end. Glad we now have a full week to recover, some players have only played the last 2 weeks and had 5 games. i.e the two mentioned above. The first 60 mins we were superb and at half time I was thinking we would win by 3 or 4, Torquay looked stunned. The quality of our goals aswell made us look too good for this division.
Morris 7.5, a couple of excellent saves, thought might get bullied out of it at the end by their big lump Gritton, but stood firm.
Clohessy 7, solid, good forays forward aswell, decent cross, do not miss Francis as much as thought.
Mohsni 7.5, on first 60 mins 9, but malfunctioned towards end and needed Couhlan to assist, tired badly but will be a star.
Barker 8, captain material, always plays it sensible, steady as a rock,
Gilbert 7, similar display to Clohessy, without so much forward threat. but another solid performance.
Simpson 8.5, sign him up please, a midfield full of goals, box to box, can play anywhere.
Easton 7.5, great holding work, allowing Simpson & Grant freedom to roam and run the game
Grant 8.5, what a transformation now does not have to sit and cover MacCormack, our ability to retain his services will determine our season. Player of the season already and now a goal threat, far to good for this division. Sublime touches and skill, vision for his goal stood out against Torquays hoofball.
Soares 6, only dissapointment, you always want him to do well, but flatters to deceive, got in good positions but rarely threatened.
Sturrock 8.5, run his socks off, did so much work, can forgive lack of goal threat for his teamwork and others scoring.
Hall 7.5, another good display, run at people, lively, please Louie Soares can you emulate.
Patterson 6.5, full of running at first, seemed to lose heart a bit because could not get hold of ball during Torquays ariel bombardment.
Coughlan 7, did what asked when came on, shored up the defence to see the win out.
Can't wit til next week now against a winless Northampton and then a bottom two Morecambe, play off place awaits after these two games. Believe we are getting better and better each week and on the first 60 mins will be a handful for everyone in this league.
