1. Hughes
2. Ajayi
3. Giles - surprised not being picked by anyone. Some key defensive tackles saved us from some dangerous positions. Who'd have thought he could defend.

Honourable mentions:

McBurnie - as always, inspirational display. So much more than our best striker in so long.
Yu - his blistering pace against tired legs was a perfectly timed substitution.
 
McBurnie - lead the line brilliantly, had yo wait for his chance and took it. Plus that pushing their defender over when he tried to bloke him at the KO
Ajayi - soaked up the pressure, put his head in when needed at looked forward when he could
Coyle - simply for his captaincy

Still not quite sunk in.
Masterful performance yesterday, classic, soak up the pressure, let them blow them selves out then hit them in the second half, the later the winning goal the better.
Hard just to pick a top three because every one was magnificent yesterday.
1. Coyle. For being our captain.
2. Egan. Rock solid.
3. McBurnie. anyone who scores the winning goal in a Wembley Final must be in the top three.

Egan
Hughes
McBurnie

Honourables for everyone else. Millar's end product was poor but he did play a big part in pushing them back when we did have the ball. If it wasn't for Millar I think we'd have been overran.

For the first time I'm not going to pick out any individuals, instead as follows;

1. The squad
2. The management team
3. The owner and the recruitment team

Enjoy a well deserved rest, I'm sure some of those players that have done us proud over the season may not be with us come next season, however you have my eternal gratitude for the parts you played in this seasons success.
