Difficult one today but basing it on the second half performance only

joffy - for the winning goal
Coyle - for that 90th min challenge
Belloumi - for 2 assists

first half - pandur for several great saves to keep us in the game only 1 nil down at ht

That was as good a comeback win as you'll see given how outplayed we were in the first half, but kudos to Serj and the lads, found a way and deserved it in the end on the back of that second half performance;

1. Ajayi - immense defensive performance, and a goal thrown in, he isn't the most expansive on the ball but he's in there to defend and thats exactly what he did, head and shoulders man of the match for me

2. Gelhardt - even in a poor first half he was often the bright spark that tried to get us going, we'd be mad if we didn't look into signing the lad permanent, we love him and he loves us, marriage made in heaven.

3. Going to jointly give it to Coyle and Giles(couldn't understand why he got took off tbh but who am I to question the big man), both had good moments and tbh if Giles had stayed on id have given it to him, Coyle frustrates when he stands off his players but 'THAT' tackle second half was as good as you'll see on a football pitch, reminded me of Mike Turner at Wembley.

Special mentions to the lads who came on 2nd half, they added the impetus that got us playing today, and kudos again to Serj, the man really is a miracle worker.
