Not seen any of this as I’m currently in The Orkney Islands with patchy signal so no idea if this is a good result or not.*

Select your top three, in order.




* I shall assume that an injury time McBurnie winner renders it so.

Gelhardt by a country mile - what energy and skill
Giles - a player reborn, set up the winner and a constant threat with his crosses
McBurnie - did little all game, except score the vitally important winner (**EDIT actually looking back at the highlights he had two excellent assists as well, so what do I know?)

Ndala played really well, as did Drameh (save for being horribly beaten in the air for one of their goals and the unnecessary corner). Thought we looked shaky in our box with aerial balls ping ponging around. Lundstram did well in midfield. Palmer was energetic but too many stray final passes.

1. Giles - Outstanding performance, can’t believe he’s the same player as the seemingly disinterested player we had since he’s been here. Great going forward, did some decent defending too.

2. Gelhardt - Missed the first goal, making something to eat, but his ability to create chances out of nothing was brilliant.

3. Palmer - Again, outstanding going forward, a lot seemed to go through him today.

I could add McB, Drameh, Crooks pretty much every player involved, no, actually every player involved. It’s not often I can say that, I think Sheff Utd away last year was the only time recently I can think of being able to say that.

Lundstram- especially first half his distribution was outstanding

Drameh - excellent game both going forward and defending.

Gelhardt - little.box of tricks and so direct, lovely to watch

Kudos to all of them today though, again they played for the shirt, we do need to sort out this problem with high balls into the box but given what he's achieved in such a short time I have no worries that Serj will get it sorted. Lovely to see the passion shown by Giles too at the end, and also every team and squad member were in on the celebrations for McBurnie's winner, the lad is already a leader and popular in the dressing room by the looks.
