    We're no longer hanging on in there with last ditch tackling and pinching final minute goals.
    We've gone beyond that. You can see the belief. We're beginning to boss games.
    Tonight we were the better side, as we were on Saturday. Now and again Exeter came back
    into it, but generally we were comfortable.
    Ward's record so far:
    P14 W8 D3 L3 F20 A12 Pts27.

    great to hear p49 <ok> sometimes the impression the radio gives may not be exactly how it is, so to hear the positives from someone who was there is great stuff <ok>

    can you do a rating score for the players involved? pretty please :)

    Utterly awesome performance - as you say, we really bossed the game and from the moment we got the break with Ollie's first goal I never thought we'd lose. Lee's goal was a peach!
    Back four excellent again and Elliot caused them problems all night.
    Another great atmosphere as well <ok>

    UTG!

    Not too good at this. It was a solid team performance rather than relying on outstanding contributions.
    So I'll give everyone a 7 with these exceptions:
    McChrystal 8.....huge presence and gets the job done
    Harrison 6...not for lack of effort, just one of those nights when things didn't come off
    Norburn 6...looked tired towards the end...thought he might have been subbed
    Brunt 8...he puts in an immense shift
    But no weak links.

    thanks p49.

    brunt sounded like he ran coles ragged. the more i see brunt and hear about him the more i think he is a great signing. next season if he its kept fit and not injured for teh season like what seems to happen, he could be a top scorer. at 2-0 i would have taken him off though to rest him and make coles deal with tounkara <laugh>
    i hardly heard harrisons name all night on the radio.
